Read Covering Letter – Rama’s squirrel calling ….. July 2025

On 5th August, we got a message from Uttarakhand. An old lady on a facebook presents it in the most eloquently “Respect the mountains. We are guests here. Himalayas are not to be conquered but are to be care for. Don’t treat our mountains as a week end escape, treat them like a temple, with care, humility and responsibility. In cloud burst, we lost life, homes, peace of mind but worst of all we lost the silence of the Hills” Click here to watch video.

Unfortunately, this is the story everywhere, including in the temple town of Rameswaram. We often neglect basic civic sense, and even after working for more than a decade, we feel the town is neither truly Green nor Clean. Still, we continue our efforts patiently—like Rama’s little squirrel—doing our part in hope and dedication.
