The government has also taken steps like unclogging water channels in different parts of the city this “allow tide water to reach the dying mangroves on a 20-acre (8 hectare) plot” (Chatterjee n.p., 2016) which leads to the reviving of the mangroves in this area. Other media report also cites that the government was going to spend “Rs 20 crore ($300,000) … fencing the same vulnerable area (mangroves), along with CCTV and satellite-based monitoring” (Localpressco n.p., 2016) The dichotomous narratives are extremely evident when different media reports are read.

Being a meritorious student back in India had not helped me at all. Then came a time when all I could see and hear were the words of rejection in the letters and emails from the program directors.
