Guess! What lacked a lot in MIT when it comes to environment? I can say it was dustbins, whenever I walked down the campus with a wrapper or something with me, had to throw it at the corner. To clean up the mess only a few bins were provided in front of boys hostel, that too we of very small size which could hardly be used. I remember lots of time when throwing wrappers or polybags on roadside was the only option.

Coming to this new semester, when we can notice is the vast availability of dustbins at every 100m or less. This time these bins are of a large size and really look like *DUSTBINS* unlike the former. MIT is paying a lot of attention at the environment I guess. Some of its plans are quite difficult to implement, like “No Polybags” campaign. Unless people and shopkeepers collectively reach to a consensus, containing this environment hazard is quite a tough job. College is also spending a lot of money in developing gardens and greenery. Finally just placing dustbins at regular intervals is not adequate unless we people learn something called “Civic Sense”

Heard about the Western Ghats? Its runs parallel to the western coast of our country, keeping in it lap one of the most beautiful scenic places. Now who needs to go to Switzerland and Kashmir when you have your mini heaven here itself. Manipal also falls in the Western Ghats giving rise to beautiful natural places.

At one end of Manipal lies a deserted place famously known as End Point. Well I feel short of words while explaining the naturalistic beauty of this place. Just imagine yourself standing on the top of the plateau on which Manipal is founded. A beautiful river runs below the hilly area. Trekking down the place is very very exciting, encountering all sorts of plants and going through the areas of dense vegetation down the plane.

This place is famous for its couples. :D All lovebirds fly to this place at the evening to see the beautiful senset and pass some precious time with each other. Health conscious people take no chance to leave off this place during their evening walk. Well said! Have some snaps too.
