Nature will be on its way!!

Today’s modern world has many successful things. It has made our lives much easier meanwhile making us lazy. We have so many gadgets that make our lives simpler. We, today sit on an easy chair, mobile in our palm get to know where the land is available for construction.This is a boon to our generation but every coin has two sides. And today, the coin is flipping over.Excess of good always becomes evil and viceversa. Along with increasing population, the demand for houses to live in also increases.  The modern day’s science and technology is effecting Mother Nature badly. Today man is constructing buildings against nature which if don’t sync with nature leads to total destruction.

Dubai is well known for its enormous construction & experimenting with the design , it was alright till it was synchronised with nature, like building Burj Khalifa , considering all the nature‘s aspect wind and balancing on the ground .

But then Dubai expanded its experiments, and started making man-made islands. These Islands were built of sand dredged from the bottom of the gulf. It is not structurally stable and is in the middle of a big body of water. Between tides and liquefaction there was no hope for them in the first place.They are building temples on sand foundations…To build temples on sand foundations is foolish enough on dry land, let alone in the middle of the ocean.

Now not only is it making island on water, but beneath the surface it is disturbing the marine life ecology. From the air, These projects create a highly visible impression on the landscape of Dubai. And back down at sea level, significant changes in the marine environment are leaving a visual scar of another type.

 As a result of the dredging and depositing of sand for the construction of the islands, the typically crystalline waters of the gulf of Dubai have become severely clouded with silt.Construction is damaging the marine habitat, burying coral reefs, oyster beds and subterranean fields of sea grass, threatening local marine species as well as other species dependent on them for food.The recent survey has been showing that the land is sinking in the sea on the newly made islands but ofcourse the dubai government and their geologists are denying any such process happening , but the inside scoop says it all , maybe its just a beginning and they would cover it for now.

Another example for such constructions is houses constructed around the most famous Kedarnath Temple. People have built their houses around Kedarnath temple by changing the river flow direction years ago. But nature always comes back to its original state. The change can never be permanent. So, when there was an overflow in the river, it retained back its own path causing immense destruction. But Kedarnath temple has not suffered major losses and this credit goes to ancient Indian science and architects who could construct such a huge construction at such an altitude.

In short summing up all the problems that has been involved in this new constructions against nature’s laws has resulted in changes in area wildlife, coastal erosion and alongshore sediment transport, and wave patterns, floods and disasters. Sediment stirred up by construction has suffocated and injured local flora and fauna and reduced the amount of sunlight filtered down to vegetation.

But if we are playing against nature, you will pay the price .Well I am in favour of new technologies , and reaching a new height of architecture and design but not on the cost of degrading the nature, we cannot go on the path of new world, by crushing the nature, it should both go parallel, and both complimenting each other.

So if future generations are to remember us with more gratitude than sorrow, we have to give them something more than just technologies but a glimpse of world as it was created. Otherwise nature will take its chance to show our future generations its power and our future generations will have to lead a life our ancestors have lead. This is true!!

Human civilisation is not something achieved against nature, it is rather the outcome of the working of the innate qualities of man and living with nature.
