Jaisika, your piece is a sharp reminder of the irony we live in—seeking purification while polluting the very rivers we revere. The term "Chemo Sapiens" hits hard, showing just how much we've let chemicals take over our lives. But what stands out is your hope. The small, everyday actions you share feel real and doable, a reminder that change begins with each of us. This isn’t just about rivers; it’s about who we are and who we want to be.
