Ice breakers:
a.) Once I went to my native village during summer vacation. We used to play till late evening in fields with friends for being summer time. So, one day I was returning home after playing when I saw a big snake just in front of me crossing the muddy road. I was so shocked with sudden arrival of that creature that I lost sense for some time. I was completely numb for some moments and did not know what to do. So, I stood still there and completely terrified. When the snake crossed the road finally I ran very fast to reach home. In home I told everyone about my experience but all of them took it very casually. My grandparents told me it was very normal scene there as snakes roamed there in fields and forests. After that incident I look around attentively whenever I go out in my village.

ii) Wonderful experience of visiting Nagarhole forest to remember lifetime:
7 Jan, 2023 Karnataka: we visited Nagarhole forest with our school team including students and teachers in last December. Nagarhole forest is also known as Rajiv Gandhi national park is one of the significant tiger reserve forest situated in Karnataka. The most important reason of visiting this national part was to notice behaviour of tigers in their natural habitat. We went for jungle safari in groups when we saw nearly all kinds of animals which are protected there. Besides that we followed all creatures like tigers, leopards, bison, langurs etc. through watching tower which was magnificent view. It was such a breath taking view when a tiger was running behind its prey. The authority of the national park also helped us to visit the entire place. Teachers guided us to understand different measurements taken there by explaining each detail. We noted down some important details about the tiger reserve which will remain as memory. We took photographs of beautiful views and our groups as well. In overall it was an amazing experience which we will cherish forever.
iii) It is hereby notified to all citizens that Shaaz Jung has taken an innovative initiative for spreading awareness about wildlife conservation. For your information Shaaz Jung is a popular wildlife photographer, big cat tracker, cinematographer who recently has taken interests in protecting wildlife with its natural habitat. Earlier he created BCRTI (buffer conflict resolution trust of India) to educating villagers about the importance of conserving wildlife. Later he decided to use the tourist currency in vocational training for villagers who will get professional learning for working in wild life. In this way, villagers has got a new opportunity of becoming financially independent as they get chances to work in other places as well. So, we are going to organize a rally for promoting this news in society. The rally will be on 15 Jan at our college premises where all interested citizens can take part. Our aim is to spread the news all over so that people become more aware about wildlife conservation.
iv) Nature teaches- to have patience, listening is more important than sight.
Most importantly- amazing experiences to learn and share, never to stop discovering, ways of communication.
