the magnificient aravalis

i have seen heaven here on earth. it is told like the desert, the mountains talk. they show sadness, anger, joy and pure pride. over the last few months i have travelled to villages which are situated at the base of the aravalis.

when you desire by heart so you shall get. the rain was welcome and it broughtof the color green on the slopes of the aravalis. i did my bit, i carried seeds of papri and seemal plants and tried to replicate a seed dispersal animal. time will tell whether my endeavour would bear fruit or not.

here's for you to cherish

Farruknagar Heritage site

an old saying goes like"those who forget history are condemn to repeat it" it can have multiple interpretations but i feel those who forget from where they come from are not worth remembering in the future.

our past and hertiage is something which we should be proud about and should go all out to see it is conserved in whatever way possible. i came across something in farrukhnagar, a tehsil of gurgaon, which for all to see.
