Minal sets chess board.⁣
⁣
Looks around at the motley group of folks engrossed in mundane discussions of natural buildings.⁣
⁣
His fingers itch.⁣
⁣
He even plays the pawn of the king two places forward as his first move.⁣
⁣
Looks around.⁣
⁣
Folks still engrossed in the same mundane topic of cob walls vs straw bale walls vs bamboo walls.⁣
⁣
Vara notices the chess board laid out invitingly and request for a game with him.⁣
⁣
Minal's eyes light up. Well, we think it does coz when he smiles we don't see his eyes anymore.⁣
⁣
About 12 moves and 3 minutes later we hear a shriek 'CHECK MATE! YAAYYY!'⁣
⁣
The eyes light up .... and vanish again.⁣
⁣
Poor Vara, she didn't know what hit her! She couldn't protect her Russian chess reputation against the onslaught of this boy who prefers endless games of chess...over Pubzzzzzs.⁣

How does one reach out to a group of over 200 boisterous teenagers and talk to them about climate change (read: crisis)?

How does one temper their young minds with environmental awareness when they are fueled by the rising youth energy in India that is unshackling itself at an accelerating rate?

How does one make them conscious about global warming (read: heating) without coming across as a dampener on their global ambitions?

With career goals linked to AI and WWW already getting imprinted on their minds, how does one reach out to their hearts to talk about the enchanting world of Natural Intelligence and the Wood Wide Web?

How does one motivate them to work with Mother Nature and introduce these budding entrepreneurs to an equally rewarding and invigorating world of an Eco-preneur?

Sharing some of the predicaments that rushed through the mind when Tieedi was invited to participate in the Indic Teen Fest 2019. :)

Honored and humbled to be part of this first-of-its-kind, and wonderfully organized learning congregation for teenagers in India. Thank you Soumya and the super professional team at @i_gen_plus! You guys put up a stupendous show.

St. Mark's Prep School, Kurseong

"They've got the whole world in their hands..." :) Thrilled to have the St Marks students at the farm and watch their tiny hands plant trees and give back to nature on The World Environment day. It's the start of a beautiful relationship...which will grow as they grow.

What better way to celebrate World Environment Day than by planting saplings and having a great day at the farm, learning and experiencing from nature. Remember its not about that one plant you planted but what you learn and carry on for the rest of your lives. Lets make this world a better place. 🌍🌲🌳🌴🌿 - Part2 ... See more
