Forget the past, leave behind the old

Discover the new, build a glorious future
So goes the anthem of this present world
But as a saying goes, Old is gold

Can we rediscover something bright in those that we have forgotten and left behind as old???

There is no other place for finding newness than in our common shelter – The nature..

Newskarnataka in association with JODI – Rebind with Nature, in its third episode of “Weekend Special with NK” will take you to Bondel and Venur to search for the fruits of nature like Wild Jackfruit, Kepula fruit and the Jarige fruit-almost the forgotten ones which will resuscitate our memories.
