Beauty of the city -- Where has it gone

I am from Pune city, living here for the last 16 years. I have seen it change for the better and the worse in this period. Once upon a time a slow paced city, it has picked up with all the discs, malls, multiplex and all. But we payed a heavy price for it.

The climate of this serene hill station has changed permanantly. Once a rainforest where rains were expected all 12 months a year or upto a few years ago - the rains could be expected at least after the city's temperature went up above a certain limit.

But now nothing like that. Hot summers, colddddd winters and wierd rains - that is what my city has come to. And to top it all the city politicians are now eyeing the hills for roads. Now it is roads, then it will pumps and then commercial complexes and residences. There is no end to it. If that happens, then I dread to think what will happen to this city.
