In Kolkata, trees are on the house, through the house, inside the house, around the house, wrapping the house all at the same time. I m not talking about a plant, I am talking about a tree. Its so common to see a tree growing from the first floor, tall enough to go to 3rd or 4th floor.
All you need to do is walk on an street and look around. The trees are the kind of tenants who have been in the house for so long that they now own the house, and have driven away the owners also. No rental agreement, no ownership agreement. When you see the house, you will know that the real current owner is the tree.
Trailer – You will see this and say, aah, this is ok man.. some shurbs growing on the walls. Scroll down.Trees have taken over the whole building. Owners have been thrown out.Tree didn’t want ground floor. So it took the second floor. Roots are growing till first floor.This is the wall of a house. I am assuming there is no ownership confusions here.Ground floor – resided by people. First and second floor, resided by trees. Terrace is also owned by trees.Tree is in the process of driving away the residents. will get there soon.Sima Sing owns ground floor. Looking at the board, it looks like she owned it long ago. Tree is the full and rightful owner of first and second floor.The owner has let the ground floor on commercial rent. The trees on the first and second floor are overlooking the operations.Lot of effort put in to put Vivek’s & Bose’s idols on the wall. The trees are like – look up, we have been here when they were not even born. 🙂 Merely putting a board the LIC owns this place does not mean anything. The ownership status is clear.This is the zoomed out view of the building. Apart from the front facade, there is no wall. The entire area is taken over by trees. Walls are definitely a hindrance right. So they got rid of it!!
