Dear Neil nice pictures... BUT I share your disappointment.. and I have written about this, including here in eflora... one that I remember most is this thread where Raman had shown a tree in Bangalore.. https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!search/Request$20Tree$20ID$20091$20-$20lalbagh,$20Bangalore$20-$20RA/indiantreepix/JumbGgz7WTo/UVjLpfQwvLgJ
the thread title was *Request Tree ID 091 - lalbagh, Bangalore - RA * = I ask the marauding masses in my neighborhood if their God is happy that he or she is being worshiped with flowers stolen from a neighbor who is now unhappy? dont these flowers carry unhappy vibrations? there is no ethic about non-stealing of flowers in our land that prides itself in worshipping Gods for goodwill and blessings.. and the idea that they are inflicting pain to me and my trees/plants does come in their head... or civic sense... its my pet peeve nowadays... usha di == On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 10:53 AM, jmgarg1 <[email protected]> wrote: > Really very-2 unfortunate incident. > > > On 1 October 2012 22:43, Neil Soares <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi, >> Was at my property at Shahapur on Wednesday last week.
