Tasha's hunt in the kitchen window :) !!!


The queen of all she surveys...i've got one proud cat...she will hunt anything that moves in the house...and of course all that doesn't move too...she will sharpen her claws on the sofa...or my badminton racket cover...and then sleep on it like she conquered something and it was a major achievement...here is one pic of her hunting a beetle...pretty big one i'd say given her size...sometimes i wonder...for all that nature has given us i see plot after plot sold around the house...folks tearing down the trees to build a tower...and then wondering where the rain has gone...why the weather is "changing"...there used to be one house in this zone in the early 70's...today there are more than 40000 cell phone users in the area...and they complain about the heat...there is only one root cause...we are the virus that's going to end up killing us along with every other species on this lovely planet...something tells me its a bit late and she's waking up to realize this fungus on the surface eating away at her resources is in need of a kick...i have seen the sparrows disappear from tens earlier in the garden to just an occasional sparrow here and there...we used to have pigeons living in the old house by the fifties below the roof tiles...we used to get an occasional fox...snakes by the dozen...we could hear the waves on the beach...there was peace and a balance in the tides...back then mankind used to pay only for what it truly and exclusively deserved...these days we pay for everything...ours and all else's doing [our blue and gray charlie included :) ]...our pain and that of other animals/birds/fish etc. without an inkling of the fact that this matrix listens to EVERYTHING...each one tied to his or her own destiny in his little brick on the wall.

A good visit to Kaziranga National Park [Rhino Land] - II

Image
Kaziranga National Park has four gates for entry into the buffer zones...the drive lasts about two hours per gate...and if you are lucky you will get a guide (gypsy driver) who is full of knowledge and will explain all the names of the birds and animals during the drive. The East gate is a bird watchers paradise...actually all gates are equally interesting...this time of the year makes it a perfect destination to visit as the river levels are low and the animals are in their natural habitat with full abundance. The brave rangers of Kaziranga that look after the wildlife round the clock...it is sad that there are still poachers in this beautiful animal paradise...needless to say that the rangers keep them at bay. Some general wildlife pictures i tried to capture with my super old Canon EOS550D with a Tamron 18-400mm lens...i would have loved to upgrade to a Canon EOS R7 with a Canon 200-800mm lens...however that combination is a bit heavy on the hands and my fingers were literally cramp...

A good visit to Kaziranga National Park [Rhino land]

Image
I'm NOT  a professional photographer...however during my recent  visit to Kaziranga National Park as part of my annual holiday i captured the below images. These two panoramas are typical of the landscape of Kaziranga...it is spread over 430 Sq. Km....vast expanses  of fertile land covered with silt from the river Brahmaputra...the river floods every year...all the animals are affected annually. This is a typical Bamboo built structure...in this case it is a restaurant...had some local chicken here...! A visit to the Orchid Park...a very nice collection of orchids from the entire North-East India...they have kept them alive and cultivated them through a lot of sheer effort...hats off to the local Karbi folks for thinking of such an idea and developing it. There was a traditional dance program at the arena next to the orchid park...sneaked in some photos :) These are traditional dances from Assam and North-East India...typically done during harvest time etc. The Tea Factor...

A taste of Freedom :)

  It has been ages since i took the opportunity to swing the flag around...this year just happened to be the one...many people post independence feel patriotic about this day...some feel like they can take their freedom for granted...me on the other hand...i don't really go all out in the colors of the flag...but I'm quite a bit nationalistic...quite a bit conservative...and quite a bit of a kid singing those happy songs in my mind...leading the  mind readers to their own "graves" in my own sweet way...best part is they don't even mind :) maybe they don't understand...the matrix is never meant to have all the keys to the universe in one place...they are distributed all over the place...and well hidden...some in plain sight...life has been one roller coaster ride...from those streets where they sold our lives for a dollar...to these streets where the grid is too kind and provides protection and affection...we are wary and we are aware...for it is not everyday t...
