Approx 1.5 g of CO2 per minute of scrolling plus tonnes of CO2 of Air-conditioning saved ( and more on other appliances), every time we are out in nature in summers. Plus helps getting back to doing what humans are meant to do- connect with others and be happy.

Thanks for creating this @theuncomplicatedleela_
The only reason we agreed to let her study Architecture is to make her talk about architectural elements on our walks😁😁
I mean there is no other justification for 5 years of sleeplessness followed by lifetime of poverty !

Semal. The colour of Delhi Spring.
When I first started following @tarikh_i_hind on Instagram , I imagined an old person, with silver white hair and maybe a stoop. Has to be if so much wisdom and such a strong yet subtle (I should learn from him) messaging about the syncretic fibre of our country emerges from this person.
Well, he turned out to be the person you see in the video below😁.
Just so so so hopeful of the future in the hands of such young people. God bless you Varun Sharma.

A very tiny group on our Jahanpanah Forest Walk today, so we could do exactly as we wished ☺.
The city is reeling under smog - from Tyre and tailpipe emissions that peak at this time (frenzied shopping and gifting), construction and yes, stubble burning (just one of the factors).
So we were happy to breathe in relatively good air, watch hordes of Indian white eyes, magpie Robins, treepies and butterflies. And millipedes who scurried all over, creating fascinating designs on ground. While understanding the historic significance of Jahanpanah and Chirag Dilli.

Baya Weavers weaving nests. Isothermal building materials, and as legend says, lit up at night by fireflies fitted by the ingenious birds. (Certainly not in the city)
In sharp contrast to the glass-chrome homes whose garden Palms they are building on.

I wish you could smell it - the rain falling inside a forest.
On our Sanjay Van Walk today.

Thank you Vallari Sheel for pointing out Hingot and Arni, among other things.

Pioneer butterflies have been walking with us every morning . Insects love wild spaces- not manicured lawns (an important contributor to mass Biodiversity loss)!
As we move to Gurgaon, I hope we will still get to take some walks on the 'wild side '!

Parks are such democratic spaces. We see people doing yoga, marriage discussions, picnics, Bhangra practice, nukkad natak practice, tree hugging, conversations with dogs.
And if it's Dilli, we also see history.
