Dear members,
This is our tribute to Dr. Balkar Arya and his outstanding contributions in building Efloraofindia, on Independence Day. His amount of contributions can be assessed from the aspect that although his last major activity was in Jan.'2015, he still remain at no. 8th in All time Posters List. He joined us along with other stalwarts like Dinesh ji, G. Singh ji, Vijayasankar ji, Nidhan ji, Pankaj ji, Tanay ji etc. in around 2010 and took our activities to the peak. He was the first who presented eFI before the taxonomists in IAAT conference first in Banglore and later in Delhi, with his great vision, along with Nidhan ji. Power point presentation of it, can be seen by downloading at Files.
Since than we have followed his great spirit as below:
Hardly a week goes when we look at some genus or the other, in efi site.
We look into all posts in that genus, compare them with the keys available in our threads, in efloras or else where online and with images and specimens available online and in GBIF and also make their comparative images, if already not available. We also seek guidance from our earlier threads as well as well refer to the suitable experts. In the process, a lot of threads with incorrect or no identification, are resurfaced with correct identification.

In the process, a lot of threads with incorrect or no identification, are resurfaced with correct identification.
Genus generally taken up these days, is one in which our members face problem in getting proper id or clarity. Having images on most of our threads, help a lot in the matter, along with the key features suggested earlier by our experts.
So every week is a Genus Week in efi for quite sometime (It started in a small way about four and a half years back when we looked at each family along with all its genera).
Happy Independence Day to Balkar ji and to all of you.

Kudos to Balkar ji for his special contributions.
As Garg ji puts, during 2010 and following years, the "activity" or tempo of posting-responding was at a very high level.
Gurcharan ji and other respected leaders led the concept of family month / fortnight / week for quite a long while until almost all of families were through. Quite an exciting patch of time it was!
Happy Independence Day ... Happy posting !Regards.

Happy Independence Day to all the Indians across the globe..!!
You are right Garg Ji, about the initiatives taken up by Balkar Ji in the earliest days of eFI. His tempo and energy provided the initial pace necessary to break the inertia. I did join efloraofindia only after Balkar Ji suggested me to do so..and it really changed my life...
Thanks Garg Ji and all friends for nice words...!!!

We had quite a few trips together in Himalayas especially Morni in April, 2011; Chakrata in September 211,
; Nainital Kasauni and Almora in April 2012; Chopta, Tungnath June, 2013, Churdhar, May 2015 in which Nidhan Ji was constant companion, joined at some trips by Smita ji, Anil ji, Virdi ji (our Zoology friend frm Delhi), Promila ji and others. It has always been a pleasure to see enthusiasm, knowledge and drive to explore more in Balkar ji. Only few days back we were discussing about future places of visit. He has been a true asset for the group, along with Nidhan ji.

My all Dear Seniors, friends
I have no words to thank you for the feelings you expressed for me. Realy before 2015 it was Golden Period in my life. I spent quality time with eFI, and botonizing with so many friends. After that some moments came in my life and they changed whole scenario, the biggest shock of my life was given by an idiot publisher, then many situations at my workplace and few other personal problems throw myself in darkness. but in these 4 years I learnt a lot about life, friends, relationship and so called "Duniyadaari".
In these days I spent lot of time in conseravtion and propagation of many plants. Result is that 2 days back we with many friends inaugurated our own Botanical Conservatory addressed as
Shree Dhanwantari Botanical Conservatory, Bhandari Road, Village and Post Lohari, Distt Panipat, Haryana 132105.
It is situated in the premises of our ancestral Agricultural Land. I am going to keep all botanical literature available with me there. This is the Place, Where we are working for conservation of local flora. Many medicinal plants from all over India are also being planted there.
In these 4 years most of the people discouraged me in one or the other way. But their efforts made me more strong to do my work vigorously. I am not away from eFI, I tried to add as many people as I can in eFI. From 18 August 2019 I have also started botonizing activities again.
In these years, I also found an another category of People..... known by many names like Yayaver/ Traveller/ Ghummakkad/ Yatri/ Batohi/ Pathik. I really enjoyed their company and they are now not only travelers but true environmentalist. As on every occasion we gather, we plant trees, we all spread message of saving trees. I learnt a lot from them, how to live in stressful conditions.
Now I think Dark Period is over and I will be among you to contribute a little.
Not even a single day was there in these years without remembering eFI.
Again Thanks a ton for remembering me. Your blessings were with me, are with me and will remain with me
Yours
Balkar Singh

Balkar
I just thought that you got busy with more graduate teaching and students.
And thats why you were sort of periodically no show.
Had no inkling.
but am glad you are out of the dark period.
we all go thru dark nites, if we live long enough. And if we venture out of our safe-zones
and want to do something for the earth or world or humanity,
and it hits us, One or MORE times,
that's what makes us realize our true mettle and soul's purpose .
These periods do not spare men or women, this country or that country,
this religion or that religion...rich or poor, academicians or laborers,
there is no discrimination there. only difference is what we do with it.
I am glad you have had people who helped you along the way.
I applaud you for keeping your head above water, an finding your path.
and co-travelers in the the Yayavers, in Bengali we pronounce then Jajabor...
there are many stories about the Jajabors in older literature here.
And....
Bhupen Hajarika has a song that keeps ringing in ears for days once you listen to it
i listen in Bengali (original) He wrote it in Bengali.
Bengali version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGanUSHrFoQ
i suspect he did the hindi translation.
====
And I would love to come one of these days to Delhi and travel up to your Botanical Garden.
Take care.
And Yes please do show up here.
Missed you.
Usha di
