Grew up in Mumbai, boarding school in Ooty, Tamil nadu. Mom Swiss but 16 years India. Lived and had children in the Republic of Ireland. Taught the 'hard to reach', teenagers and folk on the edge of 'society'. Returned home when children settled. Fell in love with Cherai beach- a natural paradise as yet not destroyed to the point of no return. Moved to Cherai to try and inspire sustainable living initiatives, fell into fostering stray pups, sterilising, vaccinating and homing them. Live from hand to mouth daily do not believe the accumulation of 'stuff' brings happiness. @cheraitails and @bhumiofcherai. Feel obligated through having discovered and enjoyed living in paradise to prevent its demise through human ignorance. Want to FIND SOLUTIONS and fuel their popularity through providing information AND offering options or change.
