 Save Birds Save Life

Who doesn’t love kite-flying ? Flying kites is the most delightful experience in itself. The joy of letting the winds fly our crafts . Spreading awareness matters and is the first step in making Sankranti safe for birds and animals.

Well, it’s the month of Sankranti which marks the end of winter and beginning of warmer and longer days. Fun to fly and beautiful to watch, kite flying has always been a major part of the Sankranti celebrations. Little did we know that these colourful & light framed kites could harm the lives of our feathered friends, the birds ?

Every January kites in hundreds of colours fill the skies in India, particularly Rajasthan and Gujarat and Maharashtra. Everyone gather on terraces to watch fighter kites battling for supremacy. The sharper the string is the better chance of cutting the competitor's kite and winning. Flying high in the sky at the end of a long string made using a strong combination of threads, coated with powdered glass (Manja), kites cause a major threat to the birds in the sky. This is the season when birds from different countries migrate to India and make their nesting grounds. They fly quite high and can come into direct contact with the kites. Failing to notice the fine thread while flying, thousands of birds get tangled causing mutilation of wings, fractures, and even nerve injuries or get killed. To the hapless birds in the sky, the thread comes from nowhere and slices through their bodies. Also after the kite flying is done, coils of this sharp threads are found hanging on trees and lamp posts, which is hazard for birds .

Enjoy the Sankranti festival but we should remember to save birds. My sincere appeal to all my readers that please avoid kite flying, if not possible please take necessary precautions where the birds safety is taken care and there is no harm to their lives. Keep first aid box ready, keep handy the emergency help line numbers like the Fire bridage and NGO to rescue the injured birds.

  The Last Of A Species Author : DHRUV VISHAL Hello everyone! We all know that dinosaurs suffered extinction in just a day. There are many endangered species in this world, but none of them come close to the verge of extinction that the northern white rhino is on. There are only two of these species left on the whole planet. They are guarded 24/7 each day in Kenya! But the question is, can scientists save them? Let's see! In the 1950's, there were 2000 northern white rhinos, but now only two females remain. Their names are Najin and Fatu. The gravestones in this conservancy are memorials for the rhinos that were poached since 2004. Najin and Fatu are under the threat of being poached for their horns which has a market in the Middle East. A kilo of northern white rhino horns can go up to 6,500$ USD! Now these two female rhinos can do nothing but accept what fate poachers have put them into. But scientists believe that they may have found a solution! They say"Right now is a ...

Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA

  Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA Do you wish you could return to moments from your past? Yes, I wish I could return memories from your past as those were the days. Many people say that growing up is the best part of life. But I disagree. Growing up means a smaller margin for errors, a necessity for seriousness and I just dislike all of those. The only positive about growing up Is total freedom. No one to stop from chasing your dreams except you yourself. But then you need to mature and grow responsible, along with still obeying everyone; that is an expectation that others have of you. Meanwhile when you are a child; a chick whose egg has just cracked, your mistakes are turned into a laughingstock and your naughtiness are converted into a chance to snuggle into your mother’s safe hands. I tell you those were the days. I sometimes feel as if I would give everything I have, even if it means my life to go back in time. Sometimes I feel if only everyone...
