There is no poetry in smog
Over and around us
Bad air surrounds us
We have constructed this demon
On our own
For our own
And think we have won.
Nothing is clear
Except the fear
That our misdeeds may never be undone.

Is it time to migrate elsewhere?
By the way, burning of stubble isn’t the only reason… nor are other reasons the only offenders that politicians are blabbering about. Every little bit of insensitivity has added to this poisonous environment. It is time that we stopped looking at solutions like declaring holidays for schools. It is time to correct our own habits to become eco-sensitive in earnest.
Is it time to migrate elsewhere?
No. It is time to let go of our pollution generating actions.
