FORT-Mysore: June 2010
http://fortmysore.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Tree-planting: It runs in the family. Abhinav, Kanishkar, Sneha and Chichanya. The names these saplings would assume when get planted on streetside in J P Nagar, a Mysore neighbourhood. Idea is to give every tree on one's street an identity. Names bond these saplings with residents ; and, hopefully, give them a better chance of being looked after by the children whose names the saplings bear. In which he grew up and the locality where his parents continue to live. Representing the...

FORT-Mysore: April 2010
http://fortmysore.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 29, 2010. Not a good idea. This one is a freshly planted banyan close to JLB Rd. traffic lights in MUDA Circle. Virshamitra. Gurukar, who has been at work on this roadside patch.

FORT-Mysore: 'Kamyab' violated
http://fortmysore.blogspot.com/2010/08/kamyab-violated.html
Tuesday, August 3, 2010. Felt bad to find Kamyab', the honge. Planted over a month back. By Mr K R Gurukar, being robbed off its top leaves, presumably, by vandals. The leaves couldn't have been eaten away by animals, according to Mr Gurukar, who says cattle don't eat honge. Mushrooms have now sprouted over this dead stump of the initial tree that had once stood on the roadside of a shopping block on Ramavilas Rd. This was the status of 'Kamyab' on July 23 - three weeks after it was planted.

FORT-Mysore: Honge Kamyab
http://fortmysore.blogspot.com/2010/07/honge-kamyab.html
Monday, July 5, 2010. In front of a shopping block on Ramavilas Rd. has been named Kamyab. It is the only one of its kind on a row of aged roadside gulmohar. Kamyab is Hindi word for 'accomplishment'.So named, because the person who planted this honge. Mr K R Gurukar, has fulfilled what many of us in the neighbourhood had long wished, but couldn't get it done. Person. Age (I am 70 plus) can't be a factor, for Mr Gurukar, 68. Which till about two months ago was little more than a web-driven arm-chair grou...
