I can't stop admiring the way you introduce your child to green landscapes sir. I am being very honest here. Its not uncommon to see children raised in metro cities becoming addicted to mobile phones etc. What interests me about your vlogs is the fact that your child will grow on to become a fan of forests, rivers, mountains and the list goes on.. I really want to take this opportunity to congratulate you guys as parents. I think you are doing an incredible job!I don't think I need to say more. The epic stillness and absolute care free stories about children in fairy tales is reflected in your incredible child.

[@Life2Explore]

I am delighted to see such a thoughtful and realistic comment, its really necessary for kids to spend as much as time possible in Nature.

[@abhishek2002able]

I agree, I wish all parents in metros could provide their kids with such exposure to nature. As a parent that would be the best gift from us to them, it's upto their interest to take it forward.

One question sir, all your car shots from outside, I could see the camera nicely tracks the car in its trajectory. So this was shot by your son or again it was the DJI pocket?

[@abhishek2002able]

Also a minor correction, it's actually Arakavathi and not Akravathi. Arakavathi is one of the only 2 rivers of bangalore and actually the only surviving river now. The other one Vrushabhavathi river is now unfortunately lost and reduced into a sewage 😞
