Page 4 MAMBALAM TIMES : Ashok Nagar - K.K.Nagar Edition March 27 - April 2, 2011NO HOLDS BARREDBy M. A. SADANANDKundalahalli is just across ‘Brookefields’, the perenniallytea-scented tea-kingdom of Brooke Bond in Bengaluru,with which daughter Neethi fell in love at the first sniff asdid many a land-hungry scout who loved a little quiet, alittle less voracious squadron of mosquitoes and, of course,aquifers promising perennial supply that would putChirapoonji to shame.What would any home maker want in this city ofsalubrious climate! The 4BHK plus spare room, a largebasement area and a wooden floored meditation roomatop the first floor, filled the bill for the mundane and astralaspirations of Ullas, Neethi’s husband who is a top gun inTCS in Whitefield.“Isn’t life beautiful!” That’s what the ‘Ancient Mariner’too thought before he launched his foolish boat ride andstarted moaning “water, water everywhere, nor any dropto drink”.Neethi’s subterranean sources of water went on strikelast week. Her daughter Nitya had woken up at 5 to cramfor her English exam in the college and what is college lifewithout a huge mug of brain teasing coffee?“Ammaa, no water”, she shouted to awake Neethi.“The Cauvery trickle is absent”.“Try the borewell switch.”"Oh! It is so boring. Amma, the motor is on, but thepump is on strike. Maybe, disuse has clogged the pipe.””There must be a few liters in the sachet we brought fromthe provision store yesterday.”Nitya who had probably read Coleridge’s nonsense,announced the final failure “nor any drop to drink”.Neighbours who were more provident than us lent amug each to send Nitya to college that day and, for the nextthree days, we bought a lorry load of water.”Lakshmi, would you exchange the Vitamin-D richChennai with its inexhaustible ocean of desalinated waterfor this alleged cool climate of Yeddi’s waterless Bengaluru?Telephone my grandson to book online our escape toChennai where sanity will prevail on the thirteenth ofApril at least or until water ceases to be the arbiter of lifeand becomes, at best, a mere five letter word.”Exhibition on ‘Cricketand science’By Our Staff ReporterT.
