A Brand New Agara Lake, Our Gift to Bengaluru



Tharakan Builders Pvt. Ltd.’s new project “Lake View Apartments” aligns itself on the banks of the beautiful Agara Lake. The luscious coconut trees swaying at the gentle breeze is only one of the many attractive features of the project. As an organisation, excellence has always been our motto; be it providing the best of amenities to the customers at minimal cost or fulfilling our responsibility to the environment and society.
Each and every part of the apartment such as roofing material, building material, cabinets, counters and insulation to your flooring is made out of environment friendly materials like reclaimed lumber, recycled plastic, recycled glass or natural products such as bamboo, cork and linoleum which are made of natural renewable materials. Solar paneling, an emerging and hot technology, helps us utilise the natural power that is available in plenty in that area. Installing rainwater harvesting system for all the dwellers, also and tankless water heaters for each individual flat, only proves our commitment towards making our environment a better place to live in.
Toxic froth and filth have carpeted Bellandur, Agara and Varthur, the three lakes in the city poisoned by industrial and domestic effluents, for long. Our company by undertaking the project along the banks of the Agara Lake, has contributed much to its restoration contrary to the public perception. In collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science, we conducted a study of the lake to accurately characterise the chemistry, biology, and hydrology of the lake and determine the amount and character of runoff from its watershed. Based on the results of the study, we are implementing an in-lake treatment as well as watershed techniques for the restoration of the lake. Physical measures like aeration and circulation, dredging, drawdown etc., which basically works to increase the level of oxygen in the lakes, giving life to underwater flora and fauna, chemical methods like Algal toxins that controls severe nuisances, such as algalblooms that interfere with recreation, plant control, fish control etc., and new a biological method called as biomanipulation is in the process of implementation. The results of such efforts are quite self-explanatory as to the state of the lake now.
The tendency to blame big builders for any and all environmental issues is the most easiest and escapist thing to do. Labelling the whole real estate industry as ‘mafia’ has to be discouraged too, as such falsified notions misleads the whole nation. As aware citizens, we must strive towards protecting, preserving and reviving Namma Bengaluru instead of indulging in trivial blame game.

Questions to Arnab Goswami

I've watched Arnab Goswami raising questions that the "NATION WANTS TO KNOW" answers to, although he ends up answering it himself. These are a few questions that I have always wanted to ask him. 
  • You and you channel Times Now have been accused many a times of practicing TRP journalism. What is your take on that?
  • People say that civility and ethics in journalism, especially TV journalism, is lost. Many point at you as an example of that. What is your opinion of that?
  • In your debates, I have noted that more often than not, you pronounce the judgement about any issue and then the debate commences. You assume the role of the moral vigilante, condemning people's viewpoints that you think is not right.
  • Many journalists have also said that your show is not news, but is just noise. What is your response to that charge?
  • You seem have many detractors as well as appreciators. Your explosive personality divides people into either of these categories, is it?
  • What do you think is the future of TV journalism with social media and internet taking over?

SAVE THE TIGER


As part of my college assignment, I was asked to make a public service ad of an issue that we felt was relevant and needed redressal. "Save the Tiger" slogan is being shouted from the rooftops, yet we see no sign of change. This ad showcases the idea of inter-dependence between man and tiger, and nature in general. Spread the awareness!
