A post shared by Maanvi Gagroo (@maanvigagroo)
'This Father's Day, I am dedicating 100 trees to my father for raising us with the strength to weather any and all storms, while simultaneously instilling in us the desire to give back to our country, the environment, and communities. I am happy that these trees will enrich the biodiversity of Uttarakhand, which—according to news reports—has lost about 50,000 hectares of its forests to various developmental activities over the past 20 years.'
The trees dedicated by Maanvi will support Trees for Ecotourism, a large-scale afforestation initiative by the social enterprise Grow-Trees.com, located in Barkot, Uttarakhand—a region heavily affected by climate change, water scarcity, and deforestation. These challenges, along with unseasonal warm temperatures, have caused a decline in tourism, directly impacting the livelihoods of local communities.
The Trees for Ecotourism project works closely with local residents to implement sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and the economy.
The tree species planted in this initiative include Oak (Quercus leucotrichophora), Himalayan Cedar (Cedrus deodara), Indian Soapberry (Sapindus mukorossi), Kharsu Oak (Quercus semecarpifolia), Dwarf Bamboo (Chimonobambusa falcata), Bhimal (Grewia optiva), and Indian Bay Leaf (Cinnamomum tamala).
Maanvi adds:'I would love to see more people doing their bit to preserve the nation's green cover and plant trees, which are crucial for the integrity of our ecosystem.'
With 82,540 trees still available for adoption, anyone can make a green gesture with just a click on Grow-Trees.com just like Maanvi and memorialise a special day or honour a precious bond.

Australia Man Quits Carpentry To Record Fart Videos. Now Makes Rs 20 Lakh A Year
Last Updated: Nath Wyld estimates that fart videos alone account for around 20 per cent of his total annual earnings which surpass Rs 1.1 crore. An Australian man who once worked as a carpenter and weekend stripper is now making a living by creating fart videos. Nath Wyld used to work a regular carpentry job during the week and spent his weekends as a topless waiter and stripper at a club called Magic Men. Over time, his popularity grew, especially on Instagram and by 2017, he was being encouraged by fans to start an OnlyFans account. 'At the start it was very tame, just photos of me semi-naked and short videos of me posing – just a little bit raunchier than what you could post on Instagram," he said as quoted by The Metro. Things changed when he started offering more explicit content. He says he earned around £3,280 (approximately Rs 3.8 lakh) in his first month. As demand continued, he eventually left carpentry for content creation full-time. 'Not having to work eight hours a day and commute was a huge bonus – now I have the freedom to work from home," Wyld said. His most unexpected breakthrough came a couple of years into his OnlyFans journey when fans began requesting fart videos. Initially, he turned them down. 'I wasn't very keen to do it so I left it and said no," he said. But after more and more requests came in, he decided to give it a try. That first video was filmed in his bedroom and offered as a pay-per-view. The reaction surprised him. 'I was blown away (no pun intended) by the demand," he said. Since then, fart videos have become a regular part of his income. He even made £2,050 (Rs 2.3 lakh) from one single fart video. Wyld now makes about £1,540 (around Rs 90,000) each month just from this niche content. He estimates that fart videos alone account for around 20 per cent of his total annual earnings which surpass £101,000 (Rs 1.17 Crore). For custom videos, clients typically request specific outfits, camera angles or whether they should speak or stay silent. 'Some want me to talk to them, saying things like, 'Wish you were here to smell this' or 'This one's for you.' Others want complete silence, he explained. To prepare, he deliberately eats foods like chicken and green vegetables to become bloated. Then, dressed in tight shorts or a jockstrap, he squats over the camera and performs. top videos View All To prepare, he deliberately eats foods like chicken and green vegetables to become bloated. Then, dressed in tight shorts or a jockstrap, he squats over the camera and performs. While he has faced some judgment, Wyld says he is content with his career path.
