More Green - Help from our friends


Borrowing a statement from one of our travel publications Dokpwe – “ Green is not just a Color but it is a Statement of Mind ”. There are efforts go green & greener. Surfing through your comments on our facebook group DreamCatcher Café, there were many mentions to plant more
If you scroll through the posts, We have SHOOTS, our hand with vegetable farming was successful till our chickens have managed to eat all the leaves. Carrots are the only surviving plant which are been nurtured well. End of harvest, the banana plantation is now a vacant ground, People and Tractors are working the land to plant the next crop to give us the beautiful background.
Friends of the Café Indu and Santosh who frequent the road brought us saplings of theHonge Tree locally known as Honge Mara. We found spots around and the Café and have planted them. Scanning the Internet found many interesting facts on the Hongai Mara,Bio-Diesel, CO2 levels etc, a “Greener” tree.
The Cherry trees are growing fast and healthy, steadily inching to beat the height of our main Café sign board challenging us to find innovative ways to display. Later would be ideal for hammocks in front of the Café………

COSTS of face-lift over 212 National Highway ( Bangalore - Calicut )



The legends that once stood tall who had their branches spread far are now cut down to size and uprooted. Road expansion on National Highway 212 has started @ Gundulpet.
Trees by the road are the first victims, with them the homes of many Birds, Bats, Squirrels & the Bees.

With respect to development, every new age positive comes with negatives. A row of tress could have been planted behind the existing line to keep the system cool and calm.The residents of these trees have to find a new address, the constant shrink for must be scary.

An opportunity to watch the Trees in their Glory days – you could ask for a copy @ the DreamCatcher Café. Photograph the existing tress to show your appreciation, beautiful ficus trees where their hanging roots looks like a beard or sample some tamarinds along the way, the natural khatta meetha.



Plant some saplings to keep the Balance – Cheers
