The lake looked familiar but the surroundings had transformed into unrecognizable terrains

Back in the late 1990s, we, a team of adventure sports enthusiasts

Were conducting periodical outdoor camping events and activities

Operating out of the city near this lake

The state tourism department was also keen on promoting adventure sports and activities

Encouraged by the growing interest among the younger population to pump their adrenaline spirits

We chartered a workable model to promote water sports tourism activities In and around this lake

To keep the activities under sustainable and responsible tourism, the working plan was submitted

To all the statutory bodies for their perusal and approval

Our bad or good, which to date we are unable to fathom;
we couldn't take forward the project because this lake happens to be the lifeline water supply for millions of humans and other life and farming needs!

The cab drove along the lake line for some distance and joined the traffic toward the city

I lost sight of the lake, and felt a bit emotional but recovered

When I remembered that we had lost sight of the project long ago!

Our cause was lost against a bigger cause because the right to living precedes leisure 🏖️
