This bird has two names, Brown Rock Pipit and Long Billed Pipit. At a quick glance looks like a more scary sparrow. It has been after a long time that I have managed to spot something new in the neighborhood. OK, not that long time actually, I think it has just been a month since…

It Rains Purple Sunbird in my Neighbothood
I have said this before, it rains Purple Sunbird in my area. I liked it a lot that this one decided to pose next to Bougainvillea flowers. After a long time managed to catch some unknown birds too. Have posted it on the Indiamike thread, will post them on the blog too once they get identified.
Skywatch Friday- A Beautiful Sunset
The sunset was particularly beautiful the last Saturday at Gurgaon. And I was at a place where I knew there would be a reflection. I have realized one thing. It is because of the Skywatch weekly posts I have become such a keen observer of the sky. So head over to the Skywatch page for…
A Really Hectic Trip to Chandigarh
I have been cribbing a lot that I am not going out anywhere in February at all and my wishes (thanks Akhila for adding the weight of your wishes as well) were granted, well sort off. We had to pick up Chhavi’s adoption papers from Chandigarh and we did not wish to get it by…

Yet Another Bird Picture!
Liked the open beak and the hairstyle of the Brahimny Starling that I could capture but honestly I am longing for a trip and not more birds. OK if a trip is not happening then birds will have to do but I really want to get out. The trouble is I have exhausted all my leaves and…
Evening Colors
It is such a pity that I am no longer a morning person and when the sky changes colors in the evening I end up commuting back from work 5 days a week. Yesterday I was staying late at work due to the students college festival and decided to take my camera out for a…
Friday Flowers- Peacock Flowers
I first cropped this picture but then I decided that I will let it go as it is. All the peacock flower and butterflies and bees were clicked in October 2010 during the Commonwealth Games break!
