Urban Jungle

If only I have the power to travel back in time, I would do so.

I would like to see how these familiar places where we usually go looked like decades ago sans the metal buildings and artificial natural environment.

The other day, hubby and I talked about how the place where we live looked like when they first lived there in the early 80s.

He said the river was clear and there are so  many open spaces where they can frolic.

Now the river is full of floating trash that people fish for trash and not trout. The river banks are lined up with informal settlers‘ homes and yes, there have been reports of accidents where small children fall into the river.

Their children too have made the streets their playground. Heh.

I’m not exaggerating.
