There is so much to love, respect and treasure about our #IndianHandlooms!!!
Have you ever witnessed our master craftsmen/women at work? It is easily one of the most spellbinding processes. The precision and fluidity with which those hands and feet move so perfectly synchronised with the rhythm of the loom creating poetry in motion…
These craft forms are ours to celebrate everyday ❤️
On National Handloom Day, 7th of August, let’s come together to celebrate the culturally rich and incredible textiles of India. Let’s appreciate the hands behind the looms that work meticulously to weave the finest of the fabrics.

Happy Birthday Nag Sir 🐯❤️🤗
Here’s wishing the King a blessed year ahead. There is good reason why he is called King. He leads with example with his kind heart, his keen observation, his instant desire to problem solve, his curiosity and childlike enthusiasm for work and life. A fellow nature lover and incredible co-actor.
It was a dream come true working with him and i hope we can make many more memories at work.

I will never forget the first time i met these beautiful rescued elephant calves. They were so playful and naughty! Kept opening my shoe laces with their trunks 😬 the time spent with them had me smiling and bursting with love and joy 🤩
Let’s celebrate these incredible sentient beings today and every day😍 On this #WorldElephantDay pledge your support to protect and secure the #RightOfPassage to save our #Elephants.
Elephants are the gardeners of forests and have walked our Earth for Millenia but now because of human interference that has lead to fragmented forests, loss of forest cover, poaching, roads and highways our Elephants are in peril.
Remember every being we share this planet with must be protected to secure the balance of our fragile ecological system that in turn provides us humans with all that we need to survive. Clean Air, water, food, peace and health. 🌏🌳🌱💧🌈🐘
DYK – Elephants have deep family bonds. The herd is led by the matriarch (the female head of a family.) Calves are raised by the entire herd. When males are about 12 years old, they leave the herd to live on their own while the females stay with family herd. Females will often stay with their mothers their whole lives so elephants often become great-grandmothers.
Elephants are highly sensitive and caring animals, much like humans. If a baby elephant cries, the herd will touch and caress the baby with their trunks to soothe it. They are highly intelligent animals with complex emotions, feelings, compassion and self-awareness (elephants are one of very few species to recognize themselves in a mirror!).
Support organisations like @wildlifetrustofindia to help protect our National Heritage Animal the Elephant.

Happy Independence Day India 🇮🇳 Let’s keep working together to ensure health, peace, equality and justice for all. Let’s continue to strive to achieve the ideals of our freedom and democracy🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 #JaiHind #VandeMataram #IndependenceDay #India75
This #GlobalTigerDay salute to all the protectors of our #Wild. They dedicate their lives to our #BigCats and forests 🐯🙏🏻🌏 Without them we would not have 70% of the world’s wild #Tigers in India.
Remember our Tigers and Tiger habitats are necessary for our health and well-being 💚
Nearly 300 Indian Rivers originate from Tiger Reserves. India has highlighted economic, social, cultural and spiritual benefits offered by tiger reserves to common man. This includes clean drinking water, employment opportunities, mitigation of climate change amongst others.
Over the years i have taken great joy in planting 8000 indigenous trees on the buffers of Tiger habitat and supported organisations that work to protect our wildlife. Hope we can all find ways to be a part of #GenerationRestoration and act #ForNature 🦚💧🌱
Pledge to protect Tiger habitats and support the guardians/Vanrakshaks of #WildIndia 🌳

A fond memory from school ❤️My school fostered a love for nature, a spirit of enquiry & creative learning. All children deserve to go to school but 10 million girls are at risk of never returning to school. #AllyUpForHer
@taapsee @larabhupathi @bhumipednekar @narniaa @aditibhoopalpradipak Do share your school memory and raise awareness on the importance of girls going to school 👧🏾

Our Dearest PG @guhapradeep as we so lovingly called him… A formidable force has left us… i think back to the courage he consistently gave me over the 21 years i’ve known him. A man who truly empowered us.
I will never forget that car ride as he dropped me off to the airport as i left the country to represent India at the Miss Asia Pacific. “What if i lose?” I had asked him and he said “It will be their loss. You are a winner.” Those words were everything. They gave the 18 year old me so much strength. And over the years he stood by me. Through good times and bad. Always offering his wisdom. We will always work hard to make you proud PG 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 May you find peace and create magic wherever you are… Your legacy is the tremendous love and respect you helped so many individuals earn and the incredible faith you had in individual potential. Thank you for making each of us believe in ourselves.
Papia Ma and Sanket we send you our prayers, love and strength. We are with you always 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 @guhasanket

Happy #WorldRangersDay!!!
Our Forest Rangers or Vanrakshaks perform a great service to our nation and planet by working to protect our forests and wildlife. Their work is not easy and very often involves risk to life. They face the threat of poachers, mafias, wild animals, forest fires and difficult terrain. But this does not stop the women and men that form the force we call our #GreenSoldiers to dedicate their life in service of nature.
#Covid19 has martyred over 500 of our #ConservationHeroes and this conversation is to appeal to each of you to help us help our VanRakshaks 💚🙏🏻
Watch this conversation to know why and how we can help our Green Soldiers. And donate to the Conservation Heroes Covid Casualty Fund here : http://milaap.org/wti

I am pleased to share with you the #globalpremiere of the #award #winning Indian film ‘Flying Elephants’.
Although considered sacred, elephants are being decimated across Asia. They are being poached, electrocuted, and their home is lost to the expansion of human settlements, agricultural fields, roads and railways.
The film, inspired by the mythological Gajashastra and narrated in the Betta kuruba Tribal language, sheds light on these sensitive, emotional, and socially intelligent creatures that rightfully deserve their place in the natural world.
Join me in celebrating this magnificent creature and share the film 🌏
A film by @prakashmatada, produced by @krithi.karanth supported by @cwsindia, @pramodjois and Team Flying Elephants
