Lockdown no problem. @hetal5878 has ensured we have our sugar dosage intact 😂 Yes showing off 😛😛 #kesarmalaipeda #homemade

This fellow keeps all other birds on their toes, the pigeons are particularly vulnerable to it and they will eat anything from small birds, rodents, even snakes, lizards, frogs and squirrels too. He sits quietly in the shade, like a monk almost, moving just its neck, scanning whats worth some snack! This is a Shikra, also called Indian Sparrowhawk or the Little Banded Goshawk is a small but powerful raptor. Their vision is eight times more acute than the vision of humans. Shikra have strong legs with sharp talons and a sharp, hooked beak, which they use to kill prey and tear it into pieces to eat. It is an excellent hunter. Usually it lays 2 to 7 bluish white eggs, the female incubates the eggs while the male brings it food. The young bird spends one entire year in the parents habitat. Thankfully this species is listed as least concern as numbers are abundant and widespread. #shikra #birdwatching #birds_gardenical #raptors #bird #raptor #goshawk

This pair of Yellow Footed Green Pigeon have caught my fancy, they are always posing. Mostly doing things together, seldom do I spot them alone except when one is in the nest in the Ashoka tree and another is collecting sticks. Cant see its nest so no idea if its been made or not. They have kept it very well concealed. . Thanks to the lockdown I have been spending an elaborate amount of time having the morning breakfast and evening tea in the garden while ogling at these beauties. . #21daysofgratitude #grateful #greenenviroment #garden #birdwatching #birds_gardenical #yellowfootedgreenpigeon

Cooking Maggi at 13000 feet for a lunch break on the trail of the Snow Leopard! With this lockdown in case you want to read about a crazy trip to Ladakh in winter trailing a Ghost Cat.

I am consumed by the chill of the solitary - Alanis Morisette What bird watching has taught me is how to keep yourself enthused by just sitting in an open field and gazing about, observing, gathering, noting and marvelling! #birdwatching #outdoors #naturalworld

The spring has brought flowers in the garden and that has ensured that the Purple Sunbird family is here and nesting in the Lemon tree. Its quite amazing to observe how they are gone during times when there are no flowers and appear out of no where when the flowers grow. 😀 They usually build nests suspended from thorny plants, usually in gardens, the female incubates the eggs, eggs are in clutches of 2-3, the eggs hatch in 15-17 days. The males assist in the feeding process. #purplesunbird #birdwatching #sunbird #bird #spring #flower #nectar #birds #birding

Banaras! February 20, 2020
Many people think they cannot have knowledge or understanding of God without reading books. But hearing is better than reading, and seeing is better than hearing. Hearing about Benares is different from reading about it; but seeing Benares is different from either hearing or reading. – The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna Banaras, Kashi or Varanasi, … Continue read […]
छोटी सी बात August 10, 2019
हलकी बारिश की बूंदे मदहोश सा मौसम घने काले बादल जैसे किसी गहरी सोच में सब कुछ जैसे रुक सा गया है पर मेरा चंचल मन फुदक फुदक कर मुझसे यह पूछ रहा है यह बेपनाह ख़ुशी बिना किसी वजह क्या है ये ऐसा पहले तो न था हर छोटी ख़ुशी इतना तो नहीं हसाती … Continue reading छोटी सी बात […]
Soaked in love August 3, 2019
~ cool blowing air, through your wavy hair, dangling curls, kissing your cheeks, blushing red, they’ve turned, smiles reach the eyes, the touch of your hand, calms me down, kiddie love, keeps growing, stronger, madder, sillier, thought I’d never ever, feel this again, never ever, been so soaked in love ~
Sattal August 3, 2019
Apparently Sattal is a paradise for bird lovers, at a nice distance away from crowded Nainital, Sattal is thickly wooded, and forested, thankfully the woods here are protected and this in return has meant loads of birds and an odd leopard and a bear being spotted. We stayed at the Incredible Birding camp, the place … Continue reading Sattal
the rain affair! July 29, 2019
In a country where the sun shines almost 11 months a year, please excuse me if I don’t appreciate it as much. I loathe it, on the other hand, I love the clouds! Damp, gray, dull weather for me any day over the sunny days. Unfortunately we barely have that sort of weather at best … Continue reading the rain affair!
