Taimur Ali Khan becomes the owner of a FOREST on his first birthday and no we’re not kidding – view pics

A forest as a birthday gift for Taimur Ali Khan? Like, say what??

You thought kids only get toys, gadgets as their birthday gift? Well, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s prince charming Taimur Ali Khan just got a forest spread over 1000 sq ft as hist first birthday present. Yes, Kareena’s dietitian Rujuta Diwekar decided to plant over 100 trees on the occasion of Taimur’s first birthday and declared that the land now belongs to Taimur. Taking up to Instagram, she wrote, “A little forest for Taimur. A little boy can never have enough of birds, bees and butterflies and so we have put together a small forest as a birthday gift for the little big boy, Taimur, in Sonave. It’s a special forest, one that thrives on intercropping and i hope that as he grows he too will thrive in and celebrate a diverse society. A society where people live together through and due to their distinctions.” 

For those of you don’t know, Rujuta is the one who is majorly responsible for Kareena’s transformation post pregnancy. So it’s but natural that she’s very close to Bebo and her little bundle of joy. Rujuta believes that growing a forest is nothing but a sign of prosperity as she added, “The forest has about 100 trees on a 1000 sq ft plot. The trees are as young as Taimur, even younger actually, and each one of them is a local, native, climate resilient specie. It will be a forest of the super foods of the future. There are 3 jamuns, 1 jackfruit, 1 amla, 40 Bananas, 14 Moringas, 1 Kokum, 1 Papaya, 5 Seetaphal, 2 Ramphals, 2 Nimbu trees. Besides these it grows 3 different types of native pulses and many Mirchi, Ginger, Turmeric and kari patta plants. Not to mention the green leafy veggies and the genda phools that grow in between. Here’s to living sustainably!”. Here, check out her full post below:

The forest is inspired by Padma Shri Subhash Palekar’s zero budget natural farming where one tree grows symbiotically off another and thus is thrifty on one’s pocket. The forest will become a home for pollinating agents like the butterflies, bees, birds and earthworms. It will help nurture the soil, fix back the nitrogen and minerals in the soil that it grows on, preserve the water table and look elegant and beautiful while doing it all. Here’s to living sustainably! Happy Birthday. #taimuralikhan

Interestingly, Taimur’s birthday cake too was forest-themed. We wonder how will Saif and Kareena react to this thoughtful gift for Taimur. Can’t wait to see pictures of Taimur exploring this forest with his mum and dad!
