"Everyday is our environment Day". I'm truly blessed that one of the most inspiring mentors, Mrs Vani Murthy, more famously known as 'Worm Rani' agreed to be on my podcast on this 'World Environment Day'.
Vani Murthy ji has been living a 0 waste lifestyle for decades now. She literally lives and inspires millions of people to live a plastic free and earthly lifestyle. No wonder she has 289000 followers on Instagram.
My visit to her home helped me see practically, how she grows her own food, uses the remains to compost it and has a 100% no trash lifestyle.
Each time I speak to her, it gives me great hope that this is the route and the best 'Solution to plastic Pollution'. This year's theme for 'World Environment Day'.
Some of my questions were around what she thinks of the current situation with regards to Plastic pollution. Does she really think there is a solution/ replacement for the numerous number of plastic things we use every single day?
Children see, children do! If parents are using plastic unhindered, is there a chance for children to lead a path to plastic free living?
I loved every perspective she shared. Request you to please listen to the full episode too!

Mother's Day is something I'm very excited about, Every year!
Making card for my mom has been my yearly practice. I know for a fact; this is NOT enough.
Did you know? The Little-WISE club I've been working on for the past 1 year made an impact by collecting close to 2.5 metric tons of plastic? If not for the encouragement of Mothers, not just mine, I wouldn't have been able to do any of it!
I'm taking this perfect opportunity to introduce to the world, these 3 moms who are the trustees of 'Siyona's Little WISE Trust'. Thy have been working very hard to make a great positive impact on the health of thousands of children. Believe it or not, behind these thousands of children, there are thousands of mothers encouraging our efforts. The true Warriors behind the Little-WISE Eco-warriors.
Happy Mother's Day!
Lots of love to ALL the moms of this world! Thank you.

While sustainability and finance seem like two very diverse topics, a combination of the two, 'Sustainable Investing' is something I learnt in this very educative podcast episode,
Dr. Mara Harvey, has been guiding and educating parents and children towards financial literacy with a focus on sustainability. She has published rhymed book for children on money, equality and sustainability.
Dr. Mara has emphasized on the importance of consumer choices and how powerful our choices are, in deciding how consumer companies contribute towards sustainability.
Human population is on the rise and we are consuming too many resources from our planet, not allowing enough time to replenish.
'There is no shortage of capital on this planet to achieve Sustainable Development Goals'
Her fifth book in the series explains the 17 Sustainable Development Goals to children in rhymes. It has been endorsed and published by the United Nations under the title "START DOING GOOD".
Its interesting to learn how uniquely she has developed rhymes so that kids can playfully learn and be aware of UNSDGs, just like their ABCs.
Listen to the podcast and get inspired! Link is in the comments.

Childhood memories to the future of children in our country, Dr Ajay Kumar, 39th Defence secretary of India has nailed it! He explained such inspiring stories of what Indian youngsters are capable of doing.
I loved every bit of the conversation. He showed that greatness is sowed at home, through parents and siblings. It then spreads to the entire world. Hardwork and humility are 2 things I learnt from this conversation.
Happy Children's Day 2022.

Deepavali or Diwali is that one day of the year where the entire world celebrates uniquely, with fireworks, lots of lamps, sweets and new clothes too!
This story from our history is a reminder that women in the past were not just beautiful, but filled with the power to be at the forefront of a war too, when needed. Truly inspired by Satyabhama’s valour and Krishna’s nature of accepting the true qualities of Satyabhama.
I would like to dedicate this episode to the glory of this festival, spreading the message that Good always wins over evil.
Happy Deepavali!

Its not everyday that we get to speak to history makers.
With every child getting more and more addicted to screen-time, Bad eating habits, Lesser outdoor play, It's a huge concern for parents and doctors alike, on the health implications on children and their future.
Bhargav is that rare breed of parent/ entrepreneur who took 12 years to research and work with experts in medical, psychological, neuroscientists and many more, for a futuristic solution. One that benefits of millions of kids for generations to come. No wonder it's a matter of pride to be the world's first person to receive a patent for Digital Vaccines.
How about using technology and the natural technological capabilities of children to train them to better health?
How about a future when the doctors prescribe apps as medicines?
I feel greatful to have these and many more questions answered by the expert himself.
We even discuss the Sustainable advantage of these vaccines.

In their youth, most are thinking of what to do next, what career path or which high paying job should they aim at. Amidst all this, we tend to forget the potential within us to change the disastrous environmental situation we are heading towards.
On this International Youth Day, I wanted this young 16 year old and her team, who are juggling her academics along with launching a whole new magazine to spotlight the environmental situation we are in. The magazine is filled with amazing lot of information to get anyone inspired to do more for our environment.
Thank you for featuring me in your magazine… I fee honored!

I was surprised to know there is truth in why most parents complain about their teenager not listening to them. The research done by Stanford University School of Medicine in California, does a deep dive into this. Turns out, it is expected behavior... I began to wonder if I'll be this way after turning a teenager too? well, time will speak for itself..

This week there were too many interesting things to discuss. I’m excited to share them!
Now that India is offering support, I really hope Srilanka’s situation gets sorted very soon. Ofcourse I couldn’t miss out news on some environmental issues. For a change, I cover the simple secret technique Rajasthan uses to tackle lack of biodiversity… You must listen to this ‘kidi-Nagar’ phenomenon…
Institutions like ISRO are going out of their way to get children started on space and its science… I love technology and it fascinates me when something new comes out… Can’t stop myself from sharing it with you all….
