A view that looks like a forest
In the video, Tiwari introduces himself and says, “Hey guys, this is Divyansh from IISc Bangalore. Today's Sunday so I came to visit IDR building. IDR is our most recently built, most beautiful building in the campus. We're in the seventh floor right now and I want you to pay attention to something.”
Pointing towards the greenery around the campus, he adds, “If you look here, you might think it's a jungle, you can actually see the city on the back. You might think this is a jungle, but this is actually not a jungle. This is an urban forest, planted, carefully planted by IISc.”
Tiwari further explains that the view includes a variety of colours and plants. “Every single plant, if you see there are all shades of orange, pink, green, purple. Every single thing is carefully planted by IISc and you can actually see the heritage, the royal building of IISc there and this view is absolutely beautiful,” he says.
