Reflecting on Humanity Through the Eyes of Chimpanzees

Every celebration, every individual can give us a message if our pespective is to understand it. 

July 14th each year is celebrated as World Chimpanzee Day, something that we were not even aware of. 



This day recognizes the importance of chimpanzees and the need to protect them and their habitats. 

At age of 26, without formal scientific training, Dr. Jane Goodall began observing wild chimpanzees in Gombe National Park. Her groundbreaking work revealed that chimpanzees use tools, have emotions, and possess distinct personalities, challenging previous scientific beliefs.

Chimpanzees posses many qualities which are appreciable and good to know:

Importance of Social Bonds
Chimpanzees live in tight-knit communities and spend a lot of time grooming each other, playing and resolving conflicts (without the need of voice).

Strong relationships, empathy and cooperation are key to survival and happiness. Violance is not the only way to resolve conflicts.

Live in Harmony with Nature
Chimpanzees rely on their environment for food, shelter and safety. They use natural tools like sticks to get termites or leaves to drink water.

Respect and preserve nature, it's our home and our helper.

Communication Beyond Words
They communicate using gestures, facial expressions, body postures, and vocal sounds.

Connection doesn’t always need language, understanding and empathy go deeper than words.

Intelligence and Problem Solving
Chimpanzees use tools, learn from experience and adapt to challenges.

Intelligence is not just about knowledge ,it’s about curiosity and learning from life.

We Share a Common Ancestor
Chimpanzees share about 98–99% of our DNA, reminding us of our deep biological connection.

We are not separate from animals, we are part of the same living family. Save them, care for them.

:::
Even in silence, chimpanzees teach us how to be more human: 
To care, 
To connect, 
To adapt,
To respect every individual and 
To respect the life around us.

KIDS : Our reflection, Our Responsibility

Friends, can we spare sometime and go back to our childhood....  The fun days we had, stress-free environment we lived, friend circle we had, level of communication we had with our family, games we used to play with our parents and lot many things.....  We did not have so many exposures but yes, the freedom (stress-free) to play and study. We did not have many activities around but still exposure with no competition around.  We did not have too many tuitions but still had professionals and skilled people around.  Feel so nice to think of all this.  BUT  Are we as parents really providing the same environment to our kids? They are always loaded with too much of competition, too many challenges, too many exams and evaluations, too many tuitions. It's an environment full of stress. Its good sometimes to have competition but everything in excess is harmful. Friends it's taking away their childhood. CHILDHOOD COMES ONLY ONCE LET's NOT SPOIL IT... LET THEM ENJOY...

International Mother Language day (21 feb) : માતૃભાષા આપણું ગૌરવ

Friends, tomorrow is International Mother language day , on this occasion i would like to ask that, when our child speaks English fluently we feel proud but at the same time when he/she cannot even utter a word in our mother tongue why are we not feeling shameful?  It's good and necessary to know fluent English but at the same time it's equally important to know fluent reading and writing of our mother tongue.  Mother tongue is our pride. માતૃભાષા આપણું ગૌરવ છે. 21મી ફેબ્રુઆરી આંતરરાષ્ટ્રીય માતૃભાષા દિવસ તરીકે ઉજવવામાં આવે છે.
