Mukhi: A symbol of success and courage
Mukhi, the first Indian-born cheetah cub, is now two-and-a-half-year old. She was born on 29th March 2023 but faced tragedy early in life when, at just two months of age, she lost her three siblings on 23rd May 2023 due to extreme heat conditions. On the same day, Mukhi herself was found weak and exhausted, and had to be picked up for a health check.
An attempt was later made to reunite her with her mother, Jwala, but the mother did not accept her. From that point on, Mukhi was raised with utmost care by the Kuno National Park management team, who took every precaution to avoid human imprinting.
Her journey was far from easy. Mukhi faced multiple health crises and other challenges, yet each time she emerged stronger. Her survival has not only been an inspiration but has also given confidence to managers, veterinarians, and field staff that Kuno can effectively handle health emergencies and adverse situations.
Mukhi stands today as a true fighter—a living symbol of courage and hope.

কাল কাল কাল কাল, কাল বৈশাখী আসুক
আমার আজ বৈশাখী আসুক,
আকাশ জুড়ে।
হো.. কাল কাল কাল কাল,
কাল বৈশাখী আসুক,
আমার আজ বৈশাখী আসুক
আকাশ জুড়ে।প্রেমিকের বিবরণ
ক্যাসেটের ফিতে জড়িয়ে,
বিয়েবাড়ি সাজে মন
শুধু পেন্সিল ঘুরিয়ে,
সেইসময় দুপুর, আধঘুমে সবাই
তখন তোমার পাড়ায় ..কাল কাল কাল কাল, কাল বৈশাখী আসুক
আমার আজ বৈশাখী আসুক,
আকাশ জুড়ে।
হো .. কাল কাল কাল কাল,
কাল বৈশাখী আসুক,

>India has lost one of its most passionate environmentalists, Padma Shri awardee Daripalli Ramaiah, 87, lovingly known as “Vanajeevi” (Forest Man), who passed away this morning ( April 12, 2025).
>Hailing from Reddy Palli village, just five kilometers from Khammam town, Ramaiah was a small farmer whose life-long green mission began in his farm and spread throughout his village. The roads leading to Reddy Palli are now flanked by giant trees, a testament to his labor of love. Over the years, he planted more than one crore trees, making an unparalleled contribution to biodiversity.
>Ramaiah had a unique approach to regreening the planet. He would collect seeds throughout the summer and plant them during the monsoon season. His commitment to the environment was evident even at public events. In 2004, after a rally addressed by Sonia Gandhi in Wyra, he was seen collecting empty water sachets discarded by attendees. He repurposed the plastic covers to grow saplings, a practice highlighted by The Hindu.
>His efforts caught the attention of Mr. A. Giridhar, the then Khammam District Collector (later Union Secretary for Defence), In recognistion of his services, he was honoured by the Collector at the Republic Day Celebrations and the Independence day fete.
>Mr Giridhar extened him monetary assistance and provided him a vehilce. The two wheeler he was provided became an iconic symbol of his mission. Often accompanied by his wife, Ramaiah used the vehicle to carry saplings and the message “Vruksho Rakshati Rakshitaha” (Protect trees, and they will protect you) across towns and villages.
>The District Rural Development Agency (DRDA), under then Project Director M. Raghunandan Rao (currently Telangana’s Principal Secretary of Agriculture), recognized Ramaiah’s service with a monthly honorarium. Ramaiah’s story gained widespread attention after being featured in India Today and later in local vernacular dailies.
>His wife, a frail yet steadfast supporter, was his constant companion, shading him like a tree throughout his journey. His home in Reddy Palli is adorned with graffiti stressing the importance of biodiversity, reflecting his deep dedication to environmental causes.
>Despite the recognition that came with the prestigious Padma Shri award, Ramaiah remained down-to-earth and relentless in his pursuit of a greener planet. He traveled across Telangana, planting trees and spreading awareness.
>In a touching gesture of gratitude, he often rewarded journalists who covered his story with fruit-bearing tree saplings, encouraging them to continue highlighting the importance of conservation. Ramaiah’s legacy will live on in the countless trees he planted and the inspiration he offered to generations. His life stands as a reminder of the power of individual commitment to making the world a better place.
**Vruksho Rakshati Rakshitaha** is beautiful line desu. Will plant a tree in the memory of this GOAT. Om Shanti 💐

In the vidrel we see a tribesman runner pursue his prey through the most harsh conditions in a gruelling eight hour chase.
This is how humans used to hunt before invention of weapons. Although this method of hunting obviously has declined among tribesman due advancement in their techniques of hunting through several centuries, some still practice it.
The hunt lasted for 8 hours before the prey got exhausted and gave up. An absolute kino by David Attenborough
