Do you know that ducks sleep on one leg with their head tucked into their feathers? 🦆

Read that this helps them maintain their head warm during the night. No idea why the single leg though 🤔

Jungle Jalebi season is here - it's a wild fruit packed with nutrition. A favorite among birds 🐦, we scavenge for the few they leave for us 😊

Ruchita volunteered with us for the past few days 👩‍🌾 The highlight of her time here was her 3-year old daughter, Dhanak 👧 who was jumping around the farm and doing a lot of self-learning 😉

Very good read by @JonHaidt. The article has global lessons even though the title reads "American Life". It's high time we preserve the fabric of our society by being more #conscious in our use of social media.

These red beauties bring back childhood memories - my nani's house garden in Ajmer was full of pomegranate trees 🙃

It's an Almond tree but not the one where you get your almonds from 🤨

Indian Almond tree is a beautiful tree🌲commonly grown for ornamental purpose.

Nothing beats summers like fruits 🍌 and they taste so much sweeter when you've worked hard to grow them 💪 😉

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Almost every day I'm asked "but what can I do?"
The answer is the same as it has always been. Combine with other people. Mobilise. Build the movement until it becomes big enough to reach a social tipping point.
The key to resistance is persistence.

This is not Palash / Tesu 🌳

Its red flowers look similar and earned its Hindi name - गधा पलाश 🤣. They are irresistible to many birds and the tree is also a great place for nesting.
