There exist in this great city many a tech-park, where some work hard, many work not so hard, but everyone earns a lot of money.
There exists a lake, in the middle of one such tech-park.
In this tech-park also, not everyone works that hard, but everyone earns money.
This lake, being in the middle of such a tech-park, is surrounded by skyscrapers, which perhaps not so much as touch the sky, but are filled with people aspiring to do much more.
The great city is also home to many a man, who works his heart out, but still doesn't earn a decent living and keenly awaits the next opportunity to make some dough.
This lake is surrounded on 3 sides by a mud road.
Digressing with your permission, when one talks about this mud road, one cannot help but guffaw on the intelligence or rather the lack of it, of the security guys in the tech-park, but out of fear that the easy way to office will be blocked, one doesn't elaborate further.
Anyways, this mud road is similar to most roads in the city, in that when you walk in the day, you are lucky if you are not chased by a dog, and when you walk in the night, especially after a long day in the office, when darkness had set in half a dozen hours ago, you are lucky if you don't step on a dog.
Also, if you think that taking the same route on your bike reduces your risk of requiring a dose of HDCV, then rest assured, your canine nemesis will chase you, till it runs out of breath - or you run out of fuel; this of course, assuming that even in the rush of adrenaline,you have enough skill to manoeuvre your 2-wheels and the crank shaft through the narrow slippery muddy road without falling off into the lake.
Anyway, coming back to the point, to most people in the tech-park, this lake is nothing but a taken-for-granted speck of blue on the landscape, a natural crater which if not for the water that fills it would easily have been the site for yet another multi-storied building for yet another multinational company. The lake is yet another epitome of the apathetic attitude of 'whoever is responsible', as "obviously, it would have been great if they introduced boating here","and how nice it would be to sit beside the lake after work, if only they put a fountain and some lights"....
Not surprisingly though, certain other people see this lake as an opportunity. To them, the lake as they see, is nothing but a water body literally brimming with fish, this in spite of the filth the surrounding buildings pump into it; and these people have realized that the opportunity is too good to let go.
Thus, perhaps even showing the way for the tumultuous global economies, the growth of the fishing industry in Bagmane has been amazing. All in the space of no more than a fortnight, they now have sophisticated net structures to catch the fish, a tent set up in the middle of the mud road, where the deals take place, and a dedicated queue of customers. In fact, one can sometimes even see them with their nets on a boat cruising long on the lake! Oh the ironies...
