		<description><![CDATA[Tau Devi Lal Biodiversity Park in Sector 52 Gurgaon is one of the few public parks in the city that gets some noticeable&#8211;albeit inadequate—attention from the city administration on its upkeep. A walk around this 2 acre park gives a clear impression of someone’s best intentions on its design and purpose but its poor upkeep [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been a Gurgaon resident for close to 17 years. The first 7 years were spent in an apartment that we’d booked way back in our youth with dreams for a ‘clean and green life South of Delhi’ – our apartment builder’s catch phrase to attract young Delhites to this suburban city. The struggle of [...]]]></description>

It was in Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary on a wintery morning when my son, Kabir was just over a year old and we were ill prepared [...]]]></description>

The dates were only a few weeks apart so&#8211;like many things in our married life&#8211;we considered ourselves somewhat fortunate on having to work on this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d dreaded this time&#8217;s election not only thinking of its mismanagement in Gurgaon but also because in the weeks leading up to it, suddenly we had electricity almost all our days and nights. As a result, we acquired the bad habit of being in a cool house and seeing our appliances work at all times. [...]]]></description>

The 3 stalls outside the school building were full of anxious people crowding around 2 officials posted at each stall. It took me some [...]]]></description>

Most of that knowledge has been initiated by the local maalis (gardeners) or nursaries (plant shops) and we&#8217;ve accepted [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my 12+ years in Gurgaon, I’ve seen the city landscape change dramatically but its inherent problems have continued to exist. They haven’t been addressed cohesively in all these years, and where we’re fortunate in seeing any corrections taking place, they appear so ad hoc that we wonder if any long-term planning is going into [...]]]></description>
