    That is our great Indian working culture. few workers - more supervisors - many more on lookers.
    Same happening in politics, Many leasers and only few works and a lot of commentotors like you and me here :)

    Hope someone tells minister sir that planting is not enough, need to water it.... otherwise poor plant will not suvive/grow.... and this picture will go to history for next generation of Students that once upon time Kar-Natakian Forest Minister has planted plants at Kadri Park and this is the picture while he planting it....
