What can I wish for in the middle of a pandemic? It is not going to be a “new” year if we continue with our foolish ways of managing the planet

We Are Not At Peace With Nature

In our highly uncertain world, there is only one certainty now—nature is on a rampage, telling us that enough is enough.

The past two years must have been the most surreal time of our lives. One fine day in early 2020, we woke up to realise that a mere virus brought our world to a halt. We did unbelievable things. We shuttered down everything; locked ourselves up; stopped socialising; made masks a part of our attire; and worked online. Our world collapsed. We lived through hell during the past two years, seeing death and despair like never before. The experience was universal—for rich and poor alike.

CHAOS IN-DEFINITION

The Aravallis are perhaps India's most litigated hill range. More than 4,000 court cases have failed to arrest their destruction. The latest dispute concerns a narrow legal definition of this geological antiquity, much of which has been obliterated by mining and urban sprawl. While the Supreme Court has stayed its own judgement accepting that definition, it must see the underlying reality and help reconcile development and national security with conservation.
