On all my trips to the wild - dried rivers, waterbodies was a shock. Last years low rainfall had made water scare and life difficult for animals and birds. The department is trying hard to make artificial water holes and supply water through tankers.
Water shortage is also being felt in civilization. Lets all do our best to conserve and save water. A very minor but very effective way could be to take only that much water in your glass that you want to drink. Also when you offer water to your guests , offer half a glass and if required offer again but let not the water go waste. Save Water - it is more precious than any thing else.

Blue Winged leaf bird
The Blue-winged Leafbird (Chloropsis cochinchinensis) is a species of leafbird found in forest.
The male is green-bodied with a yellow-tinged head, black face and throat. It has a blue moustachial line. The female differs in that it has a greener head and blue throat, and young birds are like the female but without the blue throat patch.
As in other leafbirds, the call of the Blue-winged Leafbird consists of a rich mixture of imitations of the calls of various other species of birds.

Kitty in the hole
Shot at Tadoba, it looked upset at all the tourists. The casual picnickers are a problem in Indias widlife reserve parks. Also we cant do without food for even couple of hrs inside the park. Ridiculous

Positive Attitude
My grandfather always used to motivate and teach me to be positive in life. He always used to say under all circumstances speak positive. He used to give a religious reason for this that in Hindu religion there is a mahurat (moment during the day) called " Brahma mahurat( Gods moment)" it comes every day but no one knows when. Any wish made or any thing said at that moment happens. So if u keep on cribbing and that moment comes all those u were cribbing about happens. He would always advice to speak positive. If someone asks you "How are u? ", he would always suggest to say" Wonderful" - whatever be the circumstances. By always speaking positive you always discharge a positive energy to others which makes them happy.
The reason of sharing this is a bit selfish. I will be off to Tadoba sanctuary tomorrow to catch some good shots of a male tiger,hopefully. I already have visualized the output and think abt it positively. I just wish all my friends at facebook, flickr and twitter also wish the same for me and one of us will hit the Brahma mahurat and I get what i visualize :-)
Thanks and Have a nice week ahead :-))))

Simplicity
In photography, the technique of simplicity is used to achieve the effect of singling out an item or items from their surrounding.
Simplicity is one of the underlying photographic techniques; a cluttered picture distracts the eye and takes away from the subject. A simple picture can be achieved by getting closer to the subject, which is also one of the main rules of photography.
Simplicity is one of the main components of most good photographs. The simpler the picture, the easier it is for the viewer to comprehend the subject and appreciate it. Cluttered images and backgrounds are less visually pleasing and more likely to cause the subject and lesser objects to confuse each other visually.
