Its my fortune that I am able to carry out research work with help of my able students.
I was talking to my students after my "research result progress meeting". This meeting
hold every week. After this meeting I told my students okay students its time for my
evening walk.Every day I take a break from my work and go for a walk for an hour.
Students told me that they appreciate my evening walk. I told students that what I
started as a desperate attempt to lose my weight has now become a habit that is an
integral part of my life.
I told my students,it is amazing!. On my way I see
plants,trees, birds, butterflies, dogs, squirrels, the sky,
plants,trees, birds, butterflies, dogs, squirrels, the sky,
clouds, etc. ).
Best part of this walking is Friends no gadgets, no
tracking of distance/time/heart rate etc.
What one need is just a pair of good shoes, comfortable
clothes, a waist pouch to keep my phone so that I walk
hands-free.
Friends I literally walk through an orchestra and music
of nature, presented by the birds and insects!! .I often
pair this with the sight of the glorious sunset, and I make
my day .
Friends everyday, I look forward to that hour, wherein I
observe as much Nature as I can.
I note down the questions I get, and seek answers.
Questions like “What is the connection between butterfly
and monsoon?” “What is the pattern of a honeybug?”
“What happens to trees during cyclones?” I get back
home and research ,With all this I am able to learn all
about carbon sequestration.I also wrote one poem how
whale contribution in carbon reduction process.
The behavior of birds and insects, why “tree-plantation
drives” don’t even come close to replacing a tree being
cut down, how clouds form patterns everyday, etc.
Sometimes I pause, capture birds chirping, a snail moving
on a leaf, near hedge of tulsi plants, a butterflies flitting.
All this has made my life beautiful and meaningful, of
course I have lost 3 Kg weight. With passage of time I
have many female cute friends who believe in walking,
We often wave at each other while doing eco walk and
exchange our greetings. Everyday I thank all mighty for
giving me strength to do so.
