Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary Jamnagar

Image
Dear Readers, Greetings from Book Rackoon. Before I write story in brief about my visit of Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary-Jamnagar, I would like to ask one question. Do we really have time to read stories on internet? while there are millions of sites to read? Anyway It was kind of excuse to write story in brief. I went to Jamnagar last week to visit extended family and made my day trip to Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary which is located 15 km from Jamnagar, where sweet water ponds and salty sea water from Gulf of Kutch allows different spices of bird to breed. It is well linked with good roads but surrounded by manmade hassardous (Ship breaking yard-Sachana) However Khijadiya, Jamnagar has preserved many birds and animals to prove that even if we have smaller space to protect Wildlife, we can still save a lot.  I came across many "Nilgay" (Bluebulls-kind of dear) some wild pigs, mongoose, storks, egrets, cranes, herrons, eagle, and many others...

In a world of rapid urbanization, we often assume there are no tribes left isolated without external contact on Earth.  But the Sentinelese people who inhabit the tiny island of North Sentinel that is part of the Andaman group of islands in the Bay of Bengal are living proof to the contrary. They rejected all types of communication with outsiders repeatedly and they protect their land violently when anybody wants to establish contact. This violent response is part of a pattern of violence that has marked most attempts at contact by outsiders with this tribe over the centuries. Believed to number anywhere from 50 to 400, the Sentinelese have lived in isolation on the island for 60,000 years, resisting attempts by authorities and anthropologists to study their culture and integrate them into the modern world. And when someone wanders to their island, like it happened for two fishermen on January 26, 2006, they relentlessly murder them. So protective are the Se...

A day well spent at World largest mangrove forest

India is blessed with huge diversity of flora and fauna. Our nation is known for miraculous variety of geographical features that stretches from dense forests, frozen glaciers, fertile valleys, deserts and palm sprinkled silvery beaches. That is why India is fascinating and has provoked many writers to pen their perceptions towards the glorious and rich heritage of the nation. Apart from these India’s wildlife has been the subject of many other tales like Jakarta and Panchtantra. The wildlife of India has had a sober impact on the surroundings and culture. To preserve and protect these natural heritages, Government of India has established some dedicated parks where they can live and flourish without affecting us. Sundarban National Park is one of among them. Let us have a virtual tour to world’s biggest mangrove forest with us. Sunderban National Park is a home to the powerful Royal Bengal Tigers, located in Sunderban Delta in the state of West Bengal. The amazing ...

Book Review of small is big by Rafaa Dalvi

I read this book with in three hours . It was awesome read. The verge summary is quite easy to understand and it's vulnerable in todays literature. The midus touch of westernisation in armic methodology of life style is tried to express its own value. The cover comprised with free chess characters are very rare to decode. I request everyone to go through this book once . May there are some errors which should be noticed very easily are corrected. The depth of research shows in it's thickness. Kudos to author and readers .
