There is a little patch in Delhi that has an average AQI (air quality index) under 15, comparable to the best in the world, even when the levels zoom off the charts in the rest of the city. In fact, Delhi sees nearly 80 people dying every day with health problems related to air pollution.
Peter Satwant Singh, 80, and his wife Neeno Kaur, 70, have set a great example by turning their house in Delhi's Sainik Farms into an oasis of peace, tranquility and clean air. As you step in, a cool breeze kisses your skin, the sound of flowing water soothes your soul, nature's vibrant colours catch your eyes and floral fragrance send your mind wandering.
It all began when the couple moved to Sainik Farms in 1989 after Neeno needed treatment at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences for chronic leukaemia. During the course of the treatment, the couple heard about an ayurvedic practitioner from Dehradun, who told them about sattvic diet-only fresh and organic food. It changed their lifestyle completely.

Stay with Kochi Biennale
The organisers of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale have just begun preparations for its sixth edition a year from now. I still remember its start, on the euphonious date of 12.12.12-December 12, 2012-when a group of idealist artists embarked with some trepidation on a bold attempt to transform India's art scene.
