I live in a busy locality in Hyderabad
city. There are many vehicles going on the roads throughout the day and
night around here. There are many shops on the main road just adjacent to our
residence. We live in an apartment building on the 8 th floor. The city looks
far and small from our rooms.
My father and mother tell me that they used to live nearby two decades ago. They used to stay on rent in a house and on the ground floor. At that time, there was not much of a traffic and neither were a lot of people living around the area. They were afraid of thieves in the night and day. It was difficult for ladies to go around in the evenings. It was necessary to go to big markets near railway station and other places to do shopping for clothes, bags, shoes etc.
There were no apartments at that time. The streets were narrower and less busy. There were very few people owning cars. There were not Ganesh pandaals in the locality during the ganesha festival. But now there are 2 ganesha pandaals in the vicinity.
We used to have telephone booths around the streets and in corners. We used to find many empty sites among the houses, that were yet to be built upon. There were a few buses that used to come near the bus stop, about once in 30 minutes. Now we have a bus coming every 3 minutes to our area.
There were no police patrolling jeeps at that time. But now the police jeep is heard every night once or twice passing by, and they often wait and watch during the day in the locality.
They had to travel long distances to go to the school and college. Now we have 3 schools in our locality. So during the morning hour and afternoon, a lot of students jam the streets.
The trees that were planted decades ago are now protecting the birds and insects. They are giving shade in summers to the people walking by. The leaves of the trees are dusty except in the monsoon season.
Due to busy streets and traffic, there is dust flying and coming into the houses. We need to clean everyday. The temperatures have gone up since the last few decades. The climate has become hotter.
Long ago the cleaning of waste from the bin was a simple matter. Now it is complicated. There used to be a pond , not far from our house and locality. But now a lot of its land is encroached up on. Buildings have come up close to it. Due to that the cool afternoon winds have become rarer now.
