The Interview
What has been the turning-point in your life that motivated you towards being an environmentalist?
Ms. Mirza – I had been to a very special school in Hyderabad where I was privileged to be a part of an environment-friendly community. My teachers were exceptional human beings who engaged us and helped us in many nature-friendly activities. We had nature trails and our leisure hours spent with the villagers have left behind an indelible impression in me.
Where do you see yourself in the long run?
Ms. Mirza – It feels good to be a part of this eco-friendly drive where I am currently associated with the Anandana Foundation which works towards sustainable energy solutions. I am privileged to be associated with some phenomenal personalities like
Bittu Sahgal, an Environmentalist and writer and founding editor of Sanctuary Asia, Asia's premier wildlife and ecology magazine. With every passing year, we need to move towards a beer world and I am optimisc about a genuine change that will impact our land positively. The Sanctuary Cubs I am associated with arranges kids' programmes and raises an awareness that 'nature has the ability to regenerate'. The Tiger, for me, is a metaphor for life and I believe that the future would usher in a beer world to live in.
How do you relate yourself to the significance of the YRSC?
Ms. Mirza – As I have mentioned, the early years for every child shape their value systems and I was exposed to a similar circumstance where we had everything that went into shaping me as the person I have become – a strong aspirant to conserve nature in all possible ways.
