Gorgeous and glowing with an inner calm. That was Dia Mirza as a guest on Ladies Study Group’s (LSG) ‘Beyond The Stardust’, a virtual session of April 24. The actor and producer who is an UNEP Goodwill Amabassador, United Nations SDGs Advocate, Wildlife Trust of India ambassador and an IFAW global ambassador among the many other hats she wears, spoke of her choices, career, empowerment and her commitment to nature. “I found my balance through meditation and the work that I do,” she smiled and left us with this lovely message: “The world needs more empathy and love and action. Please continue to question all that is unfair and do everything you can to help others and please don’t lose faith in humanity.” Excerpts from the Hyderabadi beauty’s chat with LSG president Diya Jaiswal.

Bid to make way for Kaipad and shrimp farming
Deforestation of mangroves is continuing unabated in Kannur district.
Kannur is blessed with large tracts of mangrove forests spread over government and private lands. However, large-scale felling of mangroves was recently noticed in private lands at Pattuvam, Ezhome, Cherukkunu, and Kandakali in Payyanur. The land is now being used for Kaipad and shrimp farming.

When fashion said no to shahtoosh By:
Apr , 2021
