‘Rooting For Nature’ is my monthly column in Deccan Herald chronicling our foibles, follies and brush with mysterious wild denizens and an odd human, even as we restore Navilu Kaadu, a land once poisoned with lethal chemical pesticides and weedicides, into a biodiverse wild farm and a zero-chemical food forest for humans and wild beings.
The column publishes second or third Sunday each month in the ‘Arts and Pursuits’ page.
