NOIDA: A piece of land lying unused between two hospital buildings at the Super Speciality Paediatric Hospital and Post Graduate Teaching Institute (SSPHPGTI), Noida, has been transformed into a special garden as a green retreat for child patients and their caregivers, officials said.

Butterfly migration this year takes flight over Garden City earlier than expected

Butterfly migration this year takes flight over Garden City earlier than expected

Published by Parlour News

For the last few days, Bengalureans have been awestruck by the swarm of butterflies they have noticed in their neighbourhoods, especially around lakes. Although the migration of butterflies from Western Ghats to Eastern Ghats is a regular phenomenon before the southwest monsoon, this year, due to temperature changes, the movement and sighting of insects have increased in the region, according to experts. Nature observers said that while butterflies usually migrate through the outskirts of the city, after a long time, they are migrating through the city this year. “Migration starts from the Western Ghats and ends at the Eastern Ghats as the butterflies look to escape the fury of heavy rains. After many years, this time, the butterflies are passing through Bengaluru, and that is why so many people got to see them,” explained Rohit Girotra, who conducts Bengaluru Butterfly Walks (BBW) in the city. Experts have also observed that migration is happening earlier than usual this year due to the predicted early onset of the southwest monsoon. “Migration is entirely dependent on the monsoon …

In post Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma era, ‘garden mey ghoomne waale log’ will have to take Test team forward

Couple of years ago Rohit Sharma snapped on the field during a Test match at the lack of intensity from his younger team-mates, “Yadi koi garden mey ghooma, toh sab ki …” It became an amusing viral meme, reenacted by him as a joke in talk shows and IPL franchise’s social-media content at various points. But in the moment, when it was said, it wasn’t a joke – he really was pissed off at the intensity. Now, with the Test retirements of both Rohit and Virat Kohli, Indian Test cricket is in the hands of those ‘garden mey ghoomne waale log’. Rohit’s retirement was nudged by selectors, but they weren’t ready for Kohli’s move, and suddenly Indian Test cricket is left with a highly inexperienced team and a novice captain in all likelihood. This isn’t just uncertainty left by the exit of two men whose auras were so big that they were the team’s identity. That happens with many sporting teams. The uncertainty is about the readiness of the younger lot in the oldest format. …
