Sky’s interpretation by different communities is amazing. Indian tribals of Gond, Koraku, Banjara and Kolam have deep understanding of patterns of constellations.
Indigenous knowledge is a long-term ecological thinking and experiential wealth and humanity‘a collective .

Currently reading: At the Feet of Living Things by Aparajita Datta 📚
Reading ‘At the Feet of Living Things’.The first chapter itself hit very hard about the realities of conservations. But what a fascinating discovery about Full Moon and Squaretail fish aggregation. Celebration of celestial events.

Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink!
This handpump is dried inside a paddy-field full of its own biomass. Somewhere in UP, India.

My daughter’s watching days are all about Octonauts. The rest of the time she makes picture books on newly discovered creatures. A well-made, well-researched, and thoughtful series for children. For parents looking for good-quality content, Octonauts is a great option.

Wonders in the Stardust!
By telling tales about the elements, we can remind ourselves that we live in a wonderfully interconnected world. It is our duty to treat it, and each other, with care. Not only are we stardust, but we reshape stardust every time we create something new, so let’s create wonders 💫

While we are learning to use AI, AI is learning to use Us, the humans. In a year from now, we may not be able to distinguish, real from fake! #AIforGood
While uncertainty prevails about human-AI interactions and their impact, communities need awareness and regulations.

An astronomer's discovery of solar storms through rings in the trees; trees, which traveled to the Moon...Trees have life stories hidden in them. We can read and listen to them only when we are ready. 'Tree Stories by Stefano Mancuso' makes one go deeper in search of stories of and about trees.

Time is running out.. Adaptation measures should be a priority for the global south. A large number of us are too poor to deal with these extreme heat-induced challenges. #climatechange #ClimateActionNow

Here is my first post, a picture I took about three years ago in Uttarakhand.
