Dear Friends,
Namaskaram
Carl Honoré (born 29 December 1967) is a Canadian journalist and author, best known for his international bestseller In Praise of Slow (2004), which examines society’s relationship with time and the impact of speed, and highlights the global Slow Movement. He began his journalism career in 1991 and has written for leading publications in Europe and North America. This issue presents a selection of his quotes.
Our cover story highlights not only the intelligence of the crow but also its ability to reciprocate kindness.

In the Wisdom section, renowned environmentalist Dr. Rashmi Mayur of Mumbai writes on how human activities are disturbing the environment; British-born animal behaviourist Ashley Ward reflects on the social life of animals and the lessons humans can learn from them; and late writer and environmental activist Sailendra Nath Ghosh urges us to save our forests.
