The Jungle Land!

hills


Before writing anything new...which i havent written in a while,Id like to introduce a new blog at http://splendourinthegrass.blogspot.com .It is a very funny blog....and lots of medico stuff in it..and the best part is that its my sisters blog..hehe

One of my favourite locations in Mulund is the Cypress area, which is close to the hills in Mulund.This area has been in the limelight for all the wrong reasons. Mainly the panther attacks that have been happening here since the wall had been breached upon.

Long ago when I was in school my family kept coming here during the weekends. In college most of my friends would come trekking up here. Early morning I could see white specks run up and down the hill, which happened to be joggers and walkers.

But now all the jogging population here has dropped down. People are scared to go up the hill due to the panther attacks here.Yet during my enginnering years I kept coming here with some of my friends. It was one day that I decided to stop.Two of my friends -a girl an d a guy were trekking up the hill with me. After going to a park up there..we began our descent journey. My friend and I hid behind a tree to scare my girlfriend who was running down the hill way ahead of us.

Suddenly, two forest officials stopped her..and she panicked.My friend and I got worried after some time and we came in search of her ..to find the forest officials standing alongside her. What followed was a sight I will never forget. They started beating up my guy friend. We two girls were pleading with the forest officials to stop it.They said they would take us to the police. That scared us even more..coz all of us had told at home that we were going to hang out at the station.

In the end they let us go..after swearing that we wouldnt be seen in that area again. We promised and fled. Since that day I have stopped being an outspoken environmentalist... The malls seem a better place ..dont they? :)
