Hello friends,
Welcome to Meri Mati. While this may appear to be just a website, it is, in truth, the expression of my entire life’s journey. This platform is a reflection of my soul, a glimpse into the deep work we are doing for the planet. I felt it was time to share this story with the world—because what we are doing isn’t just for us, or for today—it’s for the generations to come.
The name Meri Mati may sound simple, but it carries the depth of a lifelong mission: healing our Earth. For years, we’ve been quietly working to protect the environment from the increasing harm caused by artificial and man-made disruptions. These forces are slowly killing nature—and in doing so, they’re endangering all life. Our mission has been clear: to restore and protect the Earth by planting trees, gathering native seeds, greening barren lands, and even cleaning rivers. And we do all this because nature deserves it—not because we expect anything in return.
Let me introduce myself, in the simplest way I know how. I am a human being who was born in India—therefore, I call it my country. But truthfully, I feel I belong to no boundary, no nation, no caste or community. I am simply a child of Earth. This isn’t about language, politics, or identity—it’s about humanity and our responsibility to this living planet that sustains us all.
Time is running out.
That sense of urgency led me to start this blog on June 11, 2024, close to midnight. Why now? Because I believe we no longer have the luxury of delay. We must act in leaps and bounds if we want to protect nature—not just for ourselves but for the lives that will come after us. If we fail now, we’ll leave behind nothing but a burning, barren future—a scorched orange ball, uninhabitable and unforgiving.
We’ve already lost countless birds, animals, and insects to extinction. And if we continue like this, we won’t be far behind. We have to take action now. No one else will do it for us.
This is not a funded initiative. We are not an NGO. No media channel has featured our work. We don’t receive donations, and truthfully, we haven’t asked for any. Because real change begins with simplicity. If we truly want to serve nature, we don’t need millions—we need compassion, commitment, and consistency.
Plants don’t demand much. I spend time in forests and have learned that they thrive with the gentlest care. Nature handles most of it. We just need to support her—scatter seeds, protect saplings, clean up after ourselves, and respect the land. It’s really that simple. Yet, people make it complicated—adding bureaucracy, glamorizing acts of care, and forgetting that small, humble steps are often the most powerful.
For instance, we collect native seeds from the forest during summer, just before monsoon. We toss them onto barren lands, and nature does the rest. From this simple act, entire trees are born. No fanfare, no funding—just quiet, consistent action.
Cleaning rivers is another part of our journey. Sadly, people still treat rivers as dumping grounds. We’ve found broken glass, plastic bottles, ritual offerings—all casually discarded. We pick them up, often by hand. Unbroken bottles are sent to recycling units, and we use the earnings to help those in need—rickshaw pullers, laborers, anyone struggling. It’s not much, but it’s honest, heartfelt work.
We’ve cleaned rivers and banks countless times. We’ve tried to stop illegal tree cutting. And despite doing all this, we’ve never received attention from the media or NGOs. But that’s okay. Nature sees us. That’s enough.
We’ve also stopped speaking too much about our work publicly—because many people just nod and praise from afar. When it comes to actual participation, most disappear. Activism on phones doesn’t translate into action on the ground. So we’ve chosen to walk the path in silence, with sincerity.
The turning point for me came during the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s when everything shifted. It was a moment of awakening—a deep realization that life is fragile, and air, water, and food are more precious than anything else. From that crisis, the idea of Meri Mati was born.
Meri Mati is the continuation of that awakening. It’s not just a name—it’s a living movement. A promise. A story of soil, seed, sweat, and soul.
This is only the beginning.
If you’re reading this, perhaps your journey is about to begin too.
