I hate it when I have to rummage through my files to find a picture to post for Skywatch. This is from one of my treks in Uttarakhand in 2011. Thankfully I should be at Goa next week and I will make sure I capture quite a few sunset and at least one sunrise. Also…

Wish You All a Very Happy Holi
Wish all my readers and those who stumble on this post as well a very happy Holi.
Snapshots from Odisha
I particularly got attracted to this picture because of the reflections. But I have to let you in to a secret. In reality there were a lot of wires behind the temple, I just managed to keep them out of this shot. Doing bird photography with the wide angle lens! But sometimes it…
More from Jaisalmer Streets
Saw this yawning camel near the Gadisar Lake, it was available for hire but we of course walked. No, this picture was not clicked around Holi, I clicked it in January at Jaisalmer. So I was curious why these colors? I asked my guide about it. He inquired and told me that the person with…
From the Streets of Jaisalmer
This picture was taken while roaming around the Jaisalmer Fort which is also known as Sonar Kila after a Satyajit Ray movie. We did not have much time, otherwise I am sure there would have been many other such interesting signs to capture.
Colorful Pictures from Dilli Haat
I visited Dilli Haat with my sister on Saturday. As usual it was a riot of colors. I thought I should do a photo feature on it. So here I go. These small miniature roses (not real) make for such a pretty picture. For some I am sure they make pretty decoration pieces as…

Small Minivet at Bharatpur
I saw a Small Minivet for the first time at Bharatpur. The male of the species is so colorful! As I just had one day at the park I decided to start early whereas Chhavi and Seshadri joined me later. Till that time I was walking without a guide. I did not spot this bird…
Silhouette of a Peacock, Bharatpur
I stayed in the park from about 7.30 am to 6.30 pm with a short break for lunch. And I still feel my pictures are rushed. In a hurry today, will leave you with this picture only.
A Painted Stork at Bharatpur
I just got back from Bharatpur. Thought I would share this picture of an adult Painted Stork. I was told that after many years of no water in the sanctuary, 2012 has been a reasonable year. Our guide mentioned that there is an agreement for water with Chambal now and the park should revive in the…
