Where Do You Live

Wow! @toradrake and @Ramakrishnan, it looks like you live in real paradises. I know that life must be not all that utopian for you and would have your own problems, but still living a place surrounded by so much vegetation and natural scenery is a real bonus for us city folks.

I live in the city of Pune in India. My city is in the state of Maharashtra, West of India and is called as the Oxford of the East as there are a large number of universities and colleges in Pune. Students from all over the country as well as the world come to study here. Pune is surrounded by beautiful hill ranges from all sides, and used to be covered with many trees until quite recently. Sadly, thousands of trees have been cut and many on the way of destruction and many hills have been flattened to make way for increasing population.

Thankfully, there is a small hill range quite close to my home and a group of citizens has initiated tree plantation on it. We also help in watering the trees occasionally.
