If you feel lost, build something.

A business. Your body. A skill set. Anything that gives you a reason to learn and focus.

Don't worry about choosing the right thing. Don't think about how difficult it will be.

Just start moving forward and you'll find a path that feels right

Since the Amurs have created a mini-sensation with their incredible journey, I did a short Q&A with Dr Suresh from @wii_india who leads this remarkable tracking project. Here are a few fascinating insights

Q. Why do Amur Falcons migrate?
A. Migration is a natural survival strategy. Many species, including the Amur Falcon, move seasonally to escape harsh weather, seek richer feeding grounds, or find suitable breeding habitats. Over evolutionary time, individuals that migrated had higher survival and reproductive success which is why migration persists in certain species even today.

Q. Why is tracking their migration important?
A. Tracking with lightweight electronic tags helps scientists understand the exact routes and flight paths these birds follow, the environmental factors influencing their journey, and the critical stopover sites they depend on. It also helps identify threats along the way from habitat loss to hunting and provides vital insights into how Climate Change is shifting migration patterns worldwide.

Q. How do Amur Falcons survive such long flights without food or water?
A. Before they begin their transcontinental journey, Amur Falcons stop over at select sites in Northeast India, especially Nagaland and Manipur. Their arrival coincides with the mass emergence of termites a rich, high-protein food source. Here, they undergo hyperphagia or intense pre-migratory fattening, building reserves that sustain them through their nonstop oceanic flights where no food or water is available.

Q. Do they take breaks while crossing the sea?
A. No. Amur Falcons are terrestrial birds and cannot land on water. Once they leave the Indian coast, they undertake an uninterrupted flight across the Arabian Sea, a remarkable non-stop journey covering nearly 3000 km.

[Supriya Sahu IAS @supriyasahuias]

Here is an update - All three satellite-tagged Amur Falcons Apapang (male), Alang (young female) and Ahu (female) are now undertaking their daring Arabian Sea crossing. Apapang has already flown nonstop for 76 hours, covering 3100 km at an average of 1000 km per day, aided by strong easterly tailwinds. From here, the journey becomes even more extraordinary as they head towards Somalia on their epic 3000 km oceanic flight @sureshwii @wii_india #Amurfalcons

I once visited a small village in South India.
As night fell, the air cooled, the forest hummed, and the sound of crickets filled the dark.

By 8:30 p.m., lamps went out, voices softened, and the whole village slipped into deep sleep.

I asked an elderly man, “How do you all sleep so peacefully?”
He smiled and said,
“The forest has its rhythm… and we learnt to rest in tune with it.”

It sounded poetic, but it was pure science.

Those crickets and rustling leaves were creating what researchers call pink noise… nature’s perfect sound frequency.
Gentle, rhythmic, balanced.

Studies in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (2017) show that pink noise synchronizes brain waves, guiding the body into slow-wave sleep… our deepest, most restorative phase.

It even calms the autonomic nervous system, lowering cortisol and heart rate.

We replaced it with sirens, screens, and silence that isn’t really silence.

And while we may not live in forests anymore, we can still borrow that rhythm.

Dim the lights. Step away from screens.
Play the sounds of rain, wind, or crickets, let your body remember what peace feels like.

They got their foundations right, light, sound, rhythm, rest.
We can too.

Because it’s not about living in the forest,
it’s about remembering its rhythm.

Look at India's sacred geography. Neatly protected from all directions.

Himalayas in the north and north east.
Seas in the west & east.
Ocean in south.
Mountains in the north west.

If only we sealed 40 FEET of Khyber pass 2000 years ago, invasions could have been stopped!
