“Don’t crave for a “fast success”. True success takes years to build up. It may even take you 5 years or more from today to reach to your desired goal, but always chose that path where you see yourself happy in for the rest of your life.” And that was it!

Last day of our college and one of our lady professors told us one final message before parting, that made me take the “leap of faith” for CSE preparation instead of going in for that “lucrative placement offer”-

When Nani ji’s surprise visit makes your day!

The best kind of studying is when you don't realise that you are studying. You are just totally lost into what is being read and comprehended by the mind and in awe of the information you get to learn and acknowledge.

Crushed stones. Open area. Lesser trees around. Can you guess what is being constructed in here?

When I read about SHGs during my UPSC preparation, it seemed a very ordinary concept. On field, seeing the independence in eyes of these women and the innate zeal to learn and work more and more, has taught me what really is what we call the "entrepreneurial mindset".

Weekending vibes at Bir Billing!

Many people have asked me how to visit the Forest Rest Houses and other pristine locations in lap of mother nature? Here in Himachal Pradesh, we have the HP ECOSOC- Ecotourism Society, through which one can book such rooms! Posting here one such stays at Bir!

Bir had been on my travel list ever since I was in college. Now my beat training as part of my on-the-job training (OJT) takes me here for a month! 🌈

Why does a bee die after it stings? When a bee stings a human, its stinger can't come out of the skin without it getting damaged/broken, given the hard skin of mammals. As it tries to free itself out, it also ruptures its lower abdomen too. Thus, it is a gruesome death!

Cheetah's can't roar. Consequentially, the members of the Panthera genus can-like lions, tigers because a *bone in their voice box is replaced by a ligament* which when streched, produces that roaring sound!

The bamboo species really amaze me.Have you heard about it's gregarious flowering? It is one of it's flowering methods where all the plants of a particular species flower at the same time. They do this all over the world for a several year period until the entire forest has died!

A new low in advertisements @fiitjee . You are posting the picture of a child saying that she performed badly because she left your institute! I have blurred the picture because I don't believe in this disgusting way of claiming your superiority by belittling a girl child.

You are free to choose but you are not free from the consequence of your choice! Let that sink in.

How long a struggle, To be able to witness this sunrise! How long a struggle, To be able to serve the mother Earth, always!

How often have we seen this type of brush? LET ART NOT WIPE OUT A SPECIES! They use mongoose hair! Their identification is the "salt and pepper" pattern of colors and stiff nature of hair. Also, burning test can detect if it smells like burnt hair or plastic.

And see your love- so pure, Just born into this bright world, To give to this huge ecosystem your support, May your voice be forever heard, May you never see the poacher that ruins your trust, In humanity, in kindness, in all that there is.

This is one of my favorites. See those tiny mangrove pneumatophore roots coming out of the soil? They literally mean "air bearer". Given the salty and anaerobic conditions in which the mangroves grow, these are the small pores which allow exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Really into the idea of a souvenir shop of any tourist site by the locals! Here, at the Sunderbans Tiger Reserve, there were many beautiful handicrafts, wonderfully carved in their own comic style by the local women!

Are you also someone who can't see anything else other than these furry animals when they are around you? For me, I forget all my work, all my worries and my heart just overflows with immense love. How could nature create them so beautiful?
