Around the Zoom meetings and exclusive World Environment Day videos, these are two videos that struck me as extremely relevant for today's world.
The first one is a Hawaiian trained environmentalist(born in India)evoking Mahatma Gandhi to urge people to reamin linkedin and connected to start a people's movement towards climate action. Individual actions gain momentum when they become organized. Here
is the link
https://youtu.be/BPIE_I4Qhyo
The second one is a talk by a young musician who has pledged to use his musical talents towatds environment and nature only. In December, 2019 he was talking to a small crowd in New Delhi, when he "predicted" with conviction that nature will take revenge
and treat us the same way we are treating her. "Vasudeva Kutumbakam" is talked about everyehere, but many understand it as unity of the human species only. Do we need to expand our views? Listen to his talk-20 minute long talk. It is worth listening till
the end.

#MothersDay #Whiteeye #Birding
Happy Mothers Day!!.....Er....Parents Day!!!!says IndianWildlifeClub
Outside our home, near the main gate, we spot a nest. On the Ashoka tree. The Indian White Eye (Zosterops palpebrosus) is sitting with its wings spread on the nest. Surely there are chicks inside. Birding ethics prevents me from going near the nest.
Temperature outside is 42 degrees centigrade.
The bird is sitting with its wings spread to protect the chicks from heat. Parents share duties of cleaning the nest, feeding the chicks and protecting the chicks from heat.
The Indian White Eye is a tiny bird, 8cm in size. Sexes look similar.
Happy Mothers Day!! er Parents Day!!!!!
