Popular birding destinations in India - Nishan Karki
India is home to more than 1300 species of birds. India has many popular birding destinations. A few of them are:-
Keoladeo Ghana National Park, or Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, is India's most famous bird-watching site. The small wetland of 29 sq. km is the feeding and nesting ground for over 400 bird species. And it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In the foothills of the West-Central Himalayas lies the Kumaon, made famous in the writing of the legendary Tiger Books of Jim Corbett. The stunning forests in this region provide great bird-watching opportunities with landscapes, rural and wild.
Ask any birder in India what their dream destination for bird-watching is, and the answer will be 'Eaglenest'. Approximately 500 species are on paper, and it has been declared an Important Bird Area.

All 'Lives' have equal 'Value' - Aria Gupta
This blog is about a book I’ve read and loved known as “The War that Saved My Life” by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. There are no spoilers ahead; I’ll just briefly introduce the protagonists' life. Her name is Ada, and she has a twisted foot.
"I was waving from the window when Ma'am smacked me in the face. “I gave you some time to look out the window out of kindness, and you decided to wave!” she bellowed. “I was just waving to Stephen White!” I cried back in defence. “You ain't waving to nobody with that crippled foot!” she exclaimed. “Jamie's out there,” I said quietly. “He ain’t a cripple like you!” responded Ma'am. Soon, she left for work. It was a perfect time. I was crawling, and I tried to stand up. “Aaah!” I cried in pain as tears rolled down my eyes. I could also see a little blood in the place, where I kept my bad foot as I fell back down to the ground, crawling again. I tried a second time, doing it more slowly and cautiously. First, my good foot, then my bad one. Still, the pain wasn’t any less. I shrank back down to the ground, deciding I’ll stop this walking thing for today. I cleaned the blood on the floor so that Ma'am couldn’t notice and stayed there for a while. Suddenly, Jamie burst through the door. “Why are you so late?” I scolded. Jamie was left speechless. When he was younger, we had always played together. As he grew older, he wanted to play with the kids on the street. I told him to be where I could see him. At first, he did, but then he made friends with a gang of boys and always went running out of sight. I was lonely in the one-room apartment. I dreaded being lonely. I could go out. I’m not that helpless. It’s just that the last time I went outdoors, ma'am beat me until my shoulders bled. I’m not even allowed to go to school. So, I just had to stay in this apartment, all alone, waiting for someone to come."

Ada, here, is being mistreated because she is specially-abled, which is incredibly wrong. All lives are equal, and you can't label a person as 'not so important' or a 'disgrace to the family' just because of their occupation, weaknesses, etc. This is because even though they might need more attention and help than us, they are still humans who deserve to be treated right.
