Ingenious system to manage sewage in Kolkata
Posted on 11 Sep, 2013 08:48 PMThey take your pain and give you what you need. They will absorb the excess showers that our cities can’t handle and replenish water underground when our taps run dry. Often underestimated, these shallow water bodies are also home to countless life forms and serve as winter destinations for distant migratory birds.

Rare floral diversity in the Western Ghats forests
Posted on 03 May, 2013 02:29 PMA fluttering butterfly or a dashing cheetah immediately bring vivid images to mind. Does the image of a plant stir us as much? Are we as fascinated watching a flower bloom? Probably not. Maybe that’s why there is such a large focus on endangered animals and birds and not so much on plant species that are dying out.
