Priceless, timeless watch
The wrist watch has, over the years, transcended its original role of telling time to become one of the most popular status symbols. It goes with you wherever you go, it’s easy to flash and be noticed by others, it’s a sign of who you are; the more exquisite or valuable the watch, the more it ‘talks’ about you. However, it is a matter of debate as to what is more valuable: the watch itself or time.
Trees give Oxygen
Trees give life supporting Oxygen and that’s one huge reason to plant more! Have you planted any trees in your life and if yes, when was the last time you planted one? Do you think your neighborhood has enough trees to create a healthy living environment around your home?
Battery low
The debate on global warming seems to be over with some of the most credible publications and journals publishing conclusive reports about it being real! One significant reason for global warming is a sharp decline in our planet’s forest cover due to human pressure and even greed, owing to which the ability of our planet to absorb carbon dioxide has been weakening. It seems as if our planet is running low on climate sustaining battery: trees!
Transit lounge
Come April and this Bougainvillea covered tree near our house in Jaipur becomes a host to some very special visitors. Rosy Starlings (Sturnus roseus), birds that winter in India and go back to Eastern Europe in summers to breed, pass through north and north west India on their way back. A few birds stop by at this tree every year, entertain us with their constant ‘chatter’ and charm us with their beauty. So for a few days in a year, this tree takes on the role of a Transit Lounge! Photographs of Rosy Starlings can be seen at the Oriental Bird Club Image Database
