Letter to Editor (TOI) 19.10.02: Bangalore Times 5th Anniv Issue

Dear Sir, congratulations on the 5th anniversary of the Times. It was really wonderful to read the 5th anniversary supplement of the Bangalore Times dt Oct 19. While I was reading Mr. Allen Mendonca's article - Love you folks - I came across this sentence which describes Lalbagh and the lake within it as 'The looking glass lake stretching adjacent'. I can't imagine how Mr. Mendonca can even refer to the lake which is now almost 95% covered with weed and is a huge breeding ground for mosquitoes as a 'looking glass lake'. That too inspite of the number of letters in the papers from members of the public and articles in the papers about the huge mess which is the Lotus Pond and the Lalbagh lake.
I am surprised that Mr. Mendonca, who is one of the few people who espouse environmental causes and the general interest of the public at large, could commit such a gaffe!
