GL responds: Rajan, you post some of the most exquisite shots of Goa. Keep up the good work. As I admire this serene image of nature in Talaulim, the thought comes to my mind - We are enjoying the fruits of labor of our ancestors - those who built the road and planted the line of coconut trees. Yet what is this generation can / should / is doing to improve on the current environment; so that the next generation can enjoy and appreciate the fruits of our labor? One may say that one cannot improve on the image shown in your photograph. I do not necessary mean improve the image of Talauim shown in this view. But imagine if the residents of Talulim (or any other village) got together and elected to follow Talaulim's example Plant trees (of their choice) along all the approaching roads of their village along if necessary with a welcome sign (to welcome back home the sons and daughters who left to work elsewhere). And how about some short fruit trees and / or flower bushes in their own garden? This is nothing new or foreign. I still fondly remember the chickoo tree planted in our frontyard and the bimblim tree in the backyard by my mother. If I had to get on her good side, after coming home late from playing soccer, all I had to do was bring home a cake of cow dung (found on the street coming home) and fertilize the tree with it. Happy New Year to all Regards, GL ================= From: Rajan Parrikar Subject: [Goanet] [Photo Blog by Rajan Parrikar] Mornin' in Talaulim
