आज जब News Potli अपनी दूसरी एनिवर्सरी मना रहा है, मैं अपनी एक टीम के साथ ऑफिस से 900 किलोमीटर दूर हिमाचल प्रदेश में एक सेब के बाग में हूँ, आज हमारा हिमाचल में 7वाँ दिन है! न्यूज़ पोटली का 2 साल का समय ऐसे सफ़र ही में बीता है।
पिछले 2 वर्षों में हमने 1 लाख किमी का सफ़र किया है।

Why do we want to tackle climate change? Because we don't want people to suffer & die. If you get this premise right, there are hundreds & thousands of causes to rally behind. Yet some climate people are confused while others ask why young activists are mixing up different issues
