Since Chhavi came into our lives Seshadri and I have been travelling separately more than together. Recently Seshadri tried to trek to Jamadi pass and he combined it with his earlier trek to Deo Tibba Base Camp, both in Manali region. He offered to do a guest post and here it is. Deo Tibba Base…
The Cold Drinks in the River
Who needs a refrigerator when you can cool it in the Ganges Water? I clicked this picture at the end of my rafting from Kaudiyala to Shivpuri in Uttarakhand.
Indian Silverbills or Munia in Hindi
I went for a bird round after maybe a month. Was not at home for many weekends and when I was at home, I was just too lazy. But not today. I dragged myself out and went looking for birds. And I found a lot of Indian Silverbills or Munias as they are known in…
A Tawny Eagle in Flight
Clicked this one at Rishikesh, I managed to get closer shots but then I clipped the wings of the bird. So this one has to go on my blog. Got to know the name Tawny Eagle as usual via Indiamike.com
Friday Flowers- Red Leaves
If you peer hard you can see a reptile at the top left corner. Didn’t notice it while clicking the picture or else I would have tried to put it in better focus. I clicked this picture at Della Camps.

So here I was again looking out from a window of a bus and clicking pictures. We were traveling from Kaudiala to Devprayag, the distance between the two is 30 kilometers. And…
Stones Near the Ganges at Kaudiala
I can spend hours next to a dried up river bed. In this case it was only a part of the river that revealed such stones. I am sure during the monsoons all this and much more would be under water. But I love to look at the rocks and pebbles and the stones, so…
Before the Camp Woke Up
Two of my bigger strip reports from Lonavala and Kaudiala are pending but then it is the end of the semester time when all I will do for a long time is grading. I have cribbed enough on this blog whenever I have to grade so I will just make a token protest and move…
Friday Flowers- A Big Bunch of Red Roses
Last week I visited Jantar Mantar to support Anna Hazare’s fast for brining the Jan Lokpal Bill. While I was crossing the Palika Bazaar side I noticed this huge bunch of roses on the pavement with two people chatting around it. The way it was packed I can safely guess that the roses were headed…
