I feel settled, happy and free of man-made compulsions when I am in touch with the reality that I am an expression of Nature.
I am one of the zillions of children of Mother Earth, an entity created with carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and much more, all recycled over billions of years. Also with hundreds of species of bacteria and innumerable mysteries that keep life going in me, as in our beautiful, mind-boggling planet.

We are living in times when any work to care for Bhoomi and trashing any part of her seems to be a drop in the ocean. Does it matter?
Evolutionary time moves slow but sure...gradually there are more and more humans who are finding joy in being true to Bhoomi, questioning or rejecting the man-made structures and systems that are messing her up. And finding joy in living with Earth Consciousness - and being Bhoomi.

We also read in the papers about 70% of engineers being unemployable.Insufficient and ineffective teacher training and the humongous stress that children go through. The education system is not at all in good shape today.

TIME TO DISCOVER YOUR TRUE CALLING

Times have changed, and today, professional education and landing a great career are big. So most youngsters do not dare to think of a gap year.
