It has been a fabulous year for me personally. I really went places. You can read the round up here (scroll down to the third account but chances that you will read it all!) I would remember it as an year when I managed to haul myself up to the Everest Base Camp. Then I…

The Sky in a Puddle!
Recently I was at Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. And I had a lot of fun clicking the mountains in a rain water puddle at the bus stand. I know the roads should not have this big holes but this is a daily sight for me, minus the reflection of the Dhauladhar Mountains. For more skies…
That Aimless Walk at Palampur
The day I arrived at Palampur my hosts at the Holiday Home Hotel (it is a home based hotel) asked me, “so what would you do today”? And I told them “nothing” as I was way too tired. True to the form after breakfast I went to sleep, the effect of Avomine was still taking…

Genda Phool
I love flowers but I am so average at macro photography! Still have to try!
A Rose Ringed Parakeet
I was moving in the company of 4 kids in a village near Lakshman Sagar. They were quite curious about my bird photography. Even though a noisy gang of four is not good for bird photography I in no way wanted to discourage the kids. So we all learned to be a bit quiet while this rose…
Attracted to Light!
I saw this butterfly attracted to these lanterns even during the day light! The place was lakshman Sagar in Pali, Rajasthan. And I thought butterflies like only flowers! Also it paused for long enough for me to click a picture!
