Another Valentines Day. Emoji of hearts, arrows, cupid and the like have flooded the media. But Ghumakkad has always said that Nature is your best valentine. Care for Nature, she will take care of you!
Our cover picture conveys the same message. It shows a Bhutia pup in Meghalaya being cuddled by a dog-lover! Unconditional love by the animal! That is real valentine.
We have carried numerous stories conveying this theme. Re-sharing some of the stories if you haven't browsed it earlier.
The first story titled 'Friends and Facebook' portrays the 'friends' which we acquire on social media. Such friends, are they real? Rabindranath Tagore's quote below conveys it all.
Nature creates friends among the species of birds and animals. Like the Cormorant and the Turtle in the picture below. Please read turtle for tortoise in the picture.The story titled 'Mutualism by Nature' showcases many animals and birds mutually dependent upon each other.
Another story titled 'Valentine Beyond Humans' emphasised the theme of the present story. See the picture below.

ReplyDeleteNice one Ravi, thanks.
DeleteIndeed Valentine's Day must symbolise universal love. The feeling of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" - the whole of creation being one connected family rather than mere material love between two humans which is bound to fade someday or the other!
ReplyDeleteSo well said Jai. Many thanks.
DeleteLove all living creatures and Nature's bounty as they are all God's creation.
ReplyDeleteThanks for echoing our thoughts.
DeleteTrue.
ReplyDeleteThis Valentine's Day, I'm officially dating my dog. They offer unconditional love, unlimited cuddles, and never complain about my cooking!
