:D
To all the children
To the children who swim beneath
The waves of the sea, to those who live in
The soils of the Earth, to the children of the flowers
In the meadows and the trees of the forest,
To all those children who roam over the land
And the winged ones who fly with the winds,
To the human children too, that all the children
May go together into the future in the full
Diversity of their regional communities.

Petrichora hisses - Kalinga'na Mane, Agumbe!
Experience life in its richest form, in a Rainforest!
Camp in a valley surrounded by thick rainforest...
Wake up to the morning twitter of endemic birds...
Trails along the forest to explore the rich biodiversity..
Splitter splatter in streams..
Take part in the melodramatic sunrise and sunset...
If you're lucky, attend a KING COBRA rescue call....
Malnad food, jogi gundi, kundadri, malgudi days house and much much more!!!!!!
Don't miss this resplendent experience!!!!!!!!!!
Coz, "Once you enter the forest you never return the same"
Try the baap of forests - "Rainforests, Agumbe"

What Would It Be Like For Humans To Be Treated Like Animals? These sketches say it all. From an alligator walking the runway with a human bag, to a man-drawn carriage pulling horses - prepare to question your own choices.

My Child
My child isn't my easel to paint on
Nor my diamond to polish
My child isn't my trophy to share with the world
Nor my badge of honor
My child isn't an idea, an expectation, or a fantasy
Nor my reflection or legacy
My child isn't my puppet or a project
Nor my striving or desire
My child is here to fumble, stumble, try, and cry
Learn and mess up
Fail and try again
Listen to the beat of a drum faint to our adult ears
And dance to a song that revels in freedom
My task is to step aside
Stay in infinite possibility
Heal my own wounds
Fill my own bucket
And let my child fly
