Tirupati Tower in Thakur Complex, Kandivli ( Mumbai ) creates 10,000 sqft garden

Residents of a housing society in Kandivli created a 10,000 sqft garden to restore lost biodiversity.

Tirupati Tower in Thakur Complex, Kandivli.

The residents have created a 10,000 sqft garden, with fruit and flowering plants that will attract birds and butterflies.

From children to senior citizens, 80 residents got together on Sunday to recreate a green area that was lost when a drainage channel flowing along the building compound was widened. The residents planted five-foot-tall saplings of mango, pomegranate, tamarind, and neem, to ensure they have a higher survival rate. They plan to plant another 300 native trees in the compound.

"Our efforts are aimed at protecting the biodiversity of this area, which was home to countless birds, butterflies, and squirrels. Their habitat was lost after trees were destroyed but now they have automatically started returning, and the area will be restored completely within a few months," said Pradeep Keshwani, managing committee, Tirupati Towers and president, NGO Citizens' Right Protection Committee.

"The idea was to bring back the lost beauty of this garden and have a protected green space for our future generations," said Venkatraman Chandramouli, 70, resident and former executive director, Air India, who spearheaded the programme. "Planting trees along the banks of this polluted river not only reduces the stench, but also helps reduce our carbon footprint as a housing society."

For three months, Chandramouli reached out to various citizen groups and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) but failed to find saplings of small tree species. "Environmentalist Subhajit Mukherjee surveyed the area and told us that the garden can incorporate over 200 trees," he said.. "With Christmas around the corner, we treated the plantation as a symbolic celebration to give something back to nature." The garden currently has 120 trees. It also has a 1,500 sqft area allotted for a kitchen garden, where vegetables such as brinjal, radish, ladyfinger, chilies, tomatoes, different types of spinach, and more are being grown since 2015. According to the state forest minister, the 'socio-economic' value of a tree is ₹23.72 lakh a year, taking into account, the capacity of trees to absorb greenhouse gas responsible for climate change. With increasing construction work, the green cover in the city has taken a hit with trees being chopped off for projects.

"Our aim is to plant 1,000 trees within the Thakur complex, and bring back open green spaces for our children."

[www.keralites.net] MINIMISE YOUR FEAR

MINIMISE YOUR FEAR

let me share what I do to minimize my fear and to be able to move from feeling overwhelmed or paralyzed into taking action and moving forward.
1. What is the worst that could happen?
I like this very practical exercise as step number one.
So ask yourself this question. Really think about. Don't just think about it for a few seconds. Sit down with a pen and piece of paper, your laptop or cellphone. Write it all out and think about what the realistic worst-case scenario would be.
Then write down a plan for how you can come back from such a scenario.
This step brings clarity, defuses fuzzy fears and helps you realize that you can most often bounce back pretty quickly even if the worst-case scenario somehow becomes reality.
If that only works to a degree move on to the next step
2. Share your fear with someone.
By sharing your fear you can relieve inner pressure. By just keeping it on the inside it's easy to build it up into this massive nightmare and extremely dangerous thing.
By sharing and by getting some input from a levelheaded friend or family member he or she can help you to alleviate the fear and inner pressure. And you can gain a much healthier perspective on things again.
If you don't have someone to share it with or if that only works partly too then move on to
3. Accept the fear.
It is a natural impulse to try to deny the fear when shows up in your life. Perhaps you try to not think about, you try to push it away. Or you tell yourself that you need to focus like a laser beam on the positive.
I have found that in many cases it is actually better to just accept that fear or whatever is left of it after having worked through step #1 and #2 – is here right now (although it can be hard to sometimes convince your brain that this is a good option as it wants to deny or reject what is).
By accepting that you feel this way you stop feeding more energy into the fear and you stop making it strong. After a few minutes of fully taking in this uncomfortable feeling and accepting it then it starts to lose steam. It just seems to float away and you feel more open and relieved feelings bubbling up within.
4. Tap into curiosity and focus on the upsides.
By now, most of those fearful feelings are often pretty small and they tend come and go. You have processed much of that inner tension and resistance.
So you are now at a good point to start focusing on why you want to move towards what you have feared and to open your mind to what you can find out there.
Take out the pen and paper and ask yourself:
What is the opportunity in this situation?
What are the potential upsides I want and can have by taking these actions?
What are the potential upsides in one year if I start moving on this path? And in five years?
And how will life be in five years if I continue on the path I am now?
The answer when it comes to what you eat for lunch or if you want to have a new hobby may simply be that life becomes more fun, healthy, fulfilling and filled with newness and more surprises.
The answer when it comes to taking action to make a date happen, to get a new job or to take another direction in college could be that your life changes completely.
5. Take a small step forward. Take it slowly if you like.
You don't have to go all in at once in many cases. Think about how you can move in small steps and slowly towards what you want. Just dip your toes in at first if that feels more comfortable. The most important thing is that you start moving and that you take action, not how fast or how much action you take at first.
If you for example want to start your own business work on that in the evening while still working at your day job or staying in school. Don't let thinking like "I have to go all in and take huge risks" hold you back.
Or if you want to try something new today just tell yourself that:
Just for today I will try [insert something you want to try]!
You just have to do it today. Not ever again after today. You are not signing up for some huge commitment.
Tomorrow you may continue on that new path. Or you may not.
By not making this into a huge thing you have do but instead just a small step, that you can take and get done as slowly as you like, it becomes so much easier to do what is most important at first: to put yourself in motion.
Then, along the way, you can take bigger leaps if you like and speed things up. You will learn through successes and failures (and realize that you won't die if things don't go your way all the time). You will quit some things and continue doing other things.
But first, make it easy on yourself to take the first step.
