From the bomb blasts of 26Nov08, I feel the saddest for Vijay Salaskar whom I admired a lot over the past decade. I liked his shy and firm personna, staying away from publicity and determinedly going about with his work. He was somewhere the personification of that honest ideal police officer, I had while playing cops and robbers as kids.
I would have loved to meet him sometime and this instance remains another reminder of not keeping things pending on the to-do lists. Hope we all take good care of his family.
I am an environmental activist based in Mumbai, who has been closely involved with numerous issues in Mumbai since the late 90s. Began activism in my early 20's. Deep philosophical interest in nature, sustainability and the purpose of human life since an early age.
In the decade of 2001-10 I played a pioneering role towards the conservation of mangrove forests in Mumbai co-founding Mangrove Society of India (Mumbai Chapter) and managing the Chapter for a decade.
Have worked on numerous urban issues in Mumbai aimed at improving the quality of life of Mumbai citizens. Solid waste management, tree cover, public transport, municipal budget and governance.
