Just now I was musing about planting a Terrace Garden. You can also see its advantages. It should not be considered a Luxury but as mandatory.

 

Question: What are Green Roofs?

Answer: Basically, green roofs (also called “eco-roofs” or “planted roofs”) are rooftop gardens, parks or meadows that carry a host of environmental and economic benefits. By using soil and plants on rooftops in place of hard, impenetrable roofing materials, city governments, developers or individual homeowners can:

• Double or triple the life of the roof
• Add insulation to the building
• Reduce stormwater runoff
• Cool the surrounding air and lessen the heat-island effect in urban areas
• Reduce air pollution
• Capture carbon dioxide to help reduce global warming
• Mitigate noise and glare
• Create new habitat for birds and other wildlife

Some green roofs are accessible to the public and function as small parks, providing workers and city residents with urban oases that may feature beautiful wildflowers and spectacular views. An increasing number of cities are offering incentives to encourage homeowners, developers and local businesses to install green roofs on new and existing buildings.

Why.........

Why is it is so? I think about penning down my thoughts (musings as I call them), words just fail me. It becomes the passing thought. I become perturbed when I see and listen to People's problems.

I was thinking of opening a training Centre for poor women, where the Girls and their mothers can learn the Basic skills to run efficiently their households. In today's rat race to make ends meet in this glittering world, these people have to forget their first priority i.e., towards their homes. Their are so many distractions which are adding to the chaos. Advertisements, Serials, Pictures, Religious Gurus, TV Pandits, Alcohol, Chewing Powders, Supari and the News channels ofcourse. People specially, uneducated/ illiterate, are running after all these as if they can cure their woes. None of these could cure me of my problems. I have tried each one of them. I can only feel sorry for people like me.

Maybe I am depressed as some tell me. Because if i want to join the Fun, then also people stare as if  I have gone mad or something. Maybe some day, I'd make that change which I often wish but is not in a capacity to do so.
