As I close my eyes, and dive into my oneness, I expand myself, and soar high in the sky, like a chirpy little bird.

While writing, my feelings, thoughts, emotions and ideas, represent my wings that support in reaching out to my life and surroundings, like a bird.

As rightly quoted by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, ‘A pen is mightier than a sword’. With this, I voice my words to raise awareness on topics which are crucial in today’s world, such as practice of peace, equality, living sustainably, caring for climate, and preserving our cultural heritage. True in universal value, I connect myself with the nature and this is how I ideate while writing a book.

Cultural heritage refers to the cultural sites, monuments, folklore, traditional activities, practices, languages and customs that are vital to preserve for the future generation. The diversity of the Indian culture is evident to the whole world as India has one of the largest collections of songs, music, dance, theatre, folk traditions, performing arts, rites and rituals, languages, dialects, paintings and writing, that are known, as the, ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage’. Although our tangible heritage reflects outstanding historical importance, it is our intangible assets that encompasses our living and breathing cultural heritage, which is the beating heart of all our legacies.

Every morning, I look forward for the sun to appear, the cool breeze to blow, and the sweet chirpy call of the birds, that makes my mind linger on thoughts of India’s marvelous cultural heritage and its beauty. The thought on the essence of our cultural heritage has a constant presence in my life. Never could I be able to stop wondering about the importance of our culture, heritage and surroundings. I pondered over these sites quite often, my mind wondering about the actual role of UNESCO in preservation of heritage sites throughout world. After an extensive research, I found out that one of the main roles of UNESCO is to encourage countries to protect and preserve their natural, historical and cultural heritage. UNESCO also works to safeguard our planet’s future for the coming generations. Heritage conservation is important for identifying, recording and protecting heritage and cultural resources. It not only provides a sense of identity, but also provides continuity in a fast changing world for the future generations.
