As you may be aware (from your reading of this entry or otherwise), Dr. Abdul Kalam was in B R Hills recently and interacted with *concerned* folks (folks who are concerned about the sustenance and developement of B R Hills as well as its residents). Yesterday, Kalyan sent me few pictures (that he got from the President’s Office I believe) and here they are, for your viewing pleasure:

Mr. President appreciating the Soliga girl picture. If you look carefully, you can notice Kyata (elelphant) playing around in water and monkeys (posing for a group picture) - which I was fortunate enough to see with bare eyes myself

Mr. President appreciating our tiger. Dr. Sudarshan (of Vivekananda Girijana Kalyana Kendra in B R Hills) can also be seen standing to the right (with orange striped badge and a pen in his pocket) of Dr. Kalam

Mr. President appreciating Kalyan’s latest possession

To the more important things now. Please take a few moments of your busy schedule to:

1. Read a bit more about Forest Credits idea proposed by Mr. President in Kalyan’s latest blog entry - and see if your company/firm can participate in it.
2. A while ago, I sent out an email to many of my friends about Wild Life Table Top Calendars. More information is here. If you have already initiated the required work in your company/firm, please follow it up and, if you haven’t yet done so, please remember - New Year is not too far away and that it takes a while to get them printed and very importantly, that more money earned means more money saved and more money saved meaning better programs to cause awareness in more people.
