Blessed are those whose friends can make them laugh in any situation. Har ek friend jaruri hota hai. 🙂
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...
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...
Nana (my grandfather) would have been 100 years old today...i still remember all the good times...he was as hardworking in his years, when i knew him, as ever...one with grit and determination...always pampering us grandkids no end...was a bit strict...though i usually was a very well behaved kid and never got a proper scolding from him i think its the best times that i always remember...the world has many interpretations of his life...some remember him as a strict boss...some as a good neighbor...some as a good friend...and some as a great relative...been an interesting life...mainly because i knew he always had my back...from buying me my first cricket bat to my first bicycle...my first carron board lesson...my first card trick taught...i cant count the blessings...always spending his evening with a drink of his usual whiskey and some snack to go with it...taking me along in his car for visiting far off corners of the city to inspect various industrial units and their security ...
