Bonding with nature - ecoLogin Part 2

-









In this post, I will be blogging on "day 2" and "day 3" of the ecoLogin trip. In day 2, we visited the "elephant camp".

The elephant camp, which is run by a family, has 3 elephants which were rescued after being subjected to cruelty by their previous owners. We had the oppurtunity to touch the elephants and feed them chunks of papaya. After this, we took part in a treasure hunt inside a forest in the camp. Each of us were given a sheet of paper with questions asked in riddles. We had to find the answers and locate them in the forest. This enhanced my sense of direction and my observation skill. As a cue, when the treasure hunt was over, it started to rain heavily! Thankfully the trees sheltered us from the rain as we ran back into the house in which the family lived. While waiting for the rain to subdue, we drew images of animals and birds using stencils.

When we could finally go outside, we saw that the whole forest was flooded!! Slowly, holding a huge sheet above our heads, we trudged through the forest. The water was knee high and once I tripped in the mud. After half an hour, we finally reached the bus. It was an unforgettable experience and to this date, I recount it many times.😊

Later that day, we visited a milk packaging factory. Over there, I learnt the different process and steps for filtering and packing milk. On tasting the milk, I found that it was the tastiest milk I had ever drunk. It was an experience full of learning.

On Day 3, we visited the famous Vedanthangal Bird sanctuary. We could see many different birds including birds that have migrated to the area. I was awed and stood gaping as I could see birds soaring in the sky. We could see snakes in the water as well. Our guide held a snake in his hand and showed it to us. It was creepy as well as interesting.

After this, we visited a farm run by major Arjun(retd). There were so many different types of crops in the farm. We played cricket there as well. This was followed by an amazing lunch made out of vegetables grown in the farm.

After this amazing visit, we boarded the bus and went back to Chennai.

Overall, I loved the ecoLogin trip and if you get a chance, I strongly recommend that you should go for it.😃

Dear all, it is with immense ple a sure I am writing this as it is my 50th blog !! I have been able to cross the Golden Jubilee after exactly seven months and ten days and it has been an incredible journey. I was first introduced to blogging and the world of blogs on 4th May 2018, by my dear father . Making me write blogs was on his radar for a long time as he thought it would help me improve my English writing skills, my observation skills and most of all, helping me organize and structure tasks. When I  started blogging, I would make many errors and my father would diligently and lovingly correct them. But now, I am happy to say that though I make errors while writing, I manage to fix most of them by myself. If you have ever wondered at any point what happens behind the scenes to make my blog, then here you are: 1. Deciding on a topic: Unlike other bloggers, I write about varied topics and deciding a subject is very crucial. I mostly follow a structured order of topics

Our world is being rampaged by the coronavirus(Covid-19) and new personal and social norms have been created in order to prevent the spread of the virus. As we are unsure whether if the virus will be eradicated or the fact that it may continue to remain on earth, we have to equip ourselves for the future in order to be able to live with it. In this blog which is the first of a duology, I will be looking at 3 normal features that we were accustomed to before the spread of the virus and how these features will be reshaped and remodeled in the future. I will also be giving my predictions on what we can expect from these changes in the future. 3 features of the ' Old Normal ' and how they will be modified for the ' New Normal '. 1. Wearing A Mask In Public Prior to the Covid-19 spread, it was not at all necessary to wear a mask in the public. Moreover, people who were sick were only encouraged to wear it. However, it is now made mandatory for everyone to wear a

Why Marketing Is So Crucial For Firms

Why Do Firms Need Marketing? Marketing is for firms what breath is for humans. Generally speaking, the 3 main reasons why entrepreneurs say the reason their company faced heavy losses is because it was either undercapitalized, employed the wrong people or the market conditions were bad. However, I would like to add a fourth point here which is poor marketing. Not only does effective and good marketing help a company sell its product thereby generating revenue, it also helps build indirect customer and business relationships and helps the company gain widespread fame and an increased customer base.  Types of Marketing : 1. Print Advertisements 2. Word of Mouth 3. Radio and Television Advertisements 4. Social Media Advertisements 5. Cause Marketing - Marketing that involves messages about social causes and activist messages 6. Relationship Marketing - Marketing campaigns that stress customer satisfaction more than sales transactions. The Advent of Digital Media Marketing Prior to the bir
