Deeptha grew up on the banks of Aluva puzha (river) and like anyone from Aluva, shares an inseparable bond with the river. During her childhood, she played with other kids on the vast banks of the river. In this podcast, she reminisces about the time when kids would play cricket on the ground near her house and as she grew up witnessed people building houses around the ground until the ground was almost gone. The houses built in close proximity to each other had high walls and big gates. No kids played there anymore and people seemed to have drifted away from each other, living their lives like strangers. Everything changed on August 15, 2018. At first, it seemed like a casual warning, only it wasn’t. Deeptha narrates the harrowing incident that changed the fates of people living near Aluva puzha that day.
