For us, Zubeen Garg was not just a singer—he was the heartbeat of an entire generation. After the golden touch of Jitul Sonowal, it was Zubeen who brought to us the real essence of modern Assamese music blended with western rhythms. His voice, his compositions, and his melodies became the soundtrack of our youth. I still remember my student days vividly. Traveling in night buses from Guwahati to Dhemaji, we would halt at midnight in Nagaon, Amoni. The roadside restaurants and tea stalls would always be alive with Zubeen’s evergreen hits— Barasha Jetia Name Bukute , Maya Mathu Maya , Gane Ki Ane , and countless others.

Rhinos are symbols of resilience, yet they remain among the most vulnerable species on our planet. Recent conservation successes across the world—from population recovery of the Greater One-Horned Rhino in India and Nepal, to strengthened protection for White Rhinos in Africa, and intensified global collaboration for the critically endangered Javan and Sumatran Rhinos—show what is possible when science, communities, and political will come together.

Together, we can keep the five species of rhinos thriving in the wild. 🌍 #WorldRhinoDay #Conservation #Biodiversity #Rhino

Once roaming vast landscapes across Asia, they now face shrinking habitats, fragmented corridors, and rising human-elephant conflict. Villages and farmlands have replaced forests, forcing elephants into closer contact with people. In this uneasy overlap, lives are lost—human and elephant—and trust erodes on both sides. These challenges are changing behaviours. Elephants, once shy and secretive, are now bolder, often entering croplands for food. Humans, once revering elephants as cultural icons, may see them as threats. This mutual shift reflects a battle we seem to be losing—not against elephants, but against the balance of coexistence itself. Our role is clear: protect and restore habitats, secure safe passage through corridors, and adopt conflict mitigation measures that respect both lives and livelihoods. World Elephant Day is not just a da...
