I had written an article for CLAY (Club Mahindra Travel Blog) for their trip of a lifetime contest. Was also invited to their Sikkim Blogger’s Trip but could not make it as it was just after the Commonwealth Games Break. Could not ask for another week of leave as the college was closed anyway for the…
More Green Bee Eating Birds
Green Bee Eating Birds are really common in my area. So I often do not photograph them. But then this time Brat 1 kept insisting that you try and catch one in flight. I told him it usually takes a few hours to get a shot like that. But he was not to be deterred….

Jal Mahal, Jaipur, Another Night Shot
While I am grading copies, hope you all are having a good time and perfecting your travel plans. I for a change have no travel plans for quite some time now. Maybe something in January but nothing earlier.
