So far in 2022

If you want to know your progress then compete with yourself, not others. Everyone’s situation, aims, exposure and struggles are different.  This is my third year documenting  my journey as a nature enthusiast.  One of the highlights of this year is being a finalist for People of Nature Awards in the storytelling section.  I am grateful that my work was considered worthy enough by the esteemed judges to reach the final stage of People of Nature awards.   The metamorphosis from photographer-volunteer- explorer- writer have reached another phase that’s of a communicator by 2022.  2020 and 2021 were quite challenging years in the journey of this nature enthusiast but these years also taught me to adapt to the change.  Here I am sharing some of my learning opportunities and achievements this year.    Writing poems for Science Next Door continued, the year started with the poem on Struggling to support its diversity: Squirrel’s Destinyinspired by the work of the squirrels.of.india. They are trying to share the knowledge of biodiversity in squirrel species and the importance of preserving and recording their presence in various areas in India.  Slowly from 40 poems, step by step I was increasing my collection of poems in Science Next […]

A Pet’s Covid Dilemma

by admin· June 30, 2020· in Animal Rescue· 0 comments
A PET’S COVID DILEMMA…. I am a pet next door, Who looked for people to pat me more, Out from home I got a lot of attention,  Always made most of that situation,  Goofiness was my trait, And everyone fall for that bait, How wonderful were those days, There were smiles on everyone’s face,  Suddenly everything changed, What led Humans to stay as if caged? Every day when my human take me out for the task, Why he always have to wear a mask? From what I could hear, They have a disease to fear, When we walked people won’t come near, My walk became more easier, As for few days the roads were clear, It was only me and my human on my rear, At home all my family were there, Glad to have their love and care, But still I could sense the tension in the air, When my neighbours didn’t place their hands on my hair, I could feel how much they love to pat, But stayed away and refused to act, No more cuddles and sweet talk, They just said Hi and took a walk, I looked up and saw some in their balcony, When our […]

A Mother’s Sacrifice….

by admin· May 14, 2020· in Animal Rescue· 1 comments
(Representative Image) It was not a regular day for her, she has to go near human settlements. Food is scarce; the old ways of searching for food haven’t been forgotten by manmade obstacles have covered their paths—ones that they have used and known for centuries. Roads and vehicles of various sizes send shivers down her spine.  The most dangerous are the railway tracks that they have to cross in their search for water. A metal giant rolls itself through those noisy paths and smashes everything that comes its way. Only a few days ago one of the male elephants got hit by it—the train. She and her herd had stood helpless, watching his body being dragged for a few meters before the locomotive finally came to a halt.  She told herself she will never allow her child to go near those tracks. But now, she will have to go near the village to get food for herself and the young one. It is not easy to get there. The fence surrounding the fields has been electrified. A mere touch could prove fatal for her. It is also difficult for her to hide in the field. Villagers know her herd will […]

Saved…

by admin· August 28, 2017· in Animal Rescue· 4 comments
Found it surround by a group of chirpy kids, as I guess it fell down from the building after getting hit by a cricket ball. Lying down convulsing with froth coming out of the mouth, I was not sure whether I will survive. Luckily no signs of blood, which means might be it was in a shock. Then I turned it around and rubbed slowly over its head and neck, slowly it started showing signs of conscious movement. I took it to home and kept it in a cage, it was not moving, lying on its tummy below the water bowl. In the evening suddenly it started raining and the whole cage got wet. Kept a lot of newspaper in the cage so that it absorbs the water from its body. By next day morning, it was showing signs of recovery, completely dried out and started moving around the cage and making attempts to get free. So finally, I left it near a tree and it slowly climbed up and vanishes among the thick foliage.

    As the weather starts getting colder always remember when working with wildlife they come first and the last thing you want to do is to impose yourself to quickly or scare the subject you’re wishing to photograph.

  • Wild Encounters October 19, 2025
    Working with wildlife you often get little time to compose your subject as you wish. You have to work with what nature gives you and this makes you a better photographer I firmly believe. Taking your images as seen, showing natural behaviour is something you should always strive for. Respect, subject knowledge and a sense […]

  • Wolves, Bears, Wolverines September 30, 2025
    Finland is one of Europe’s last places of true wilderness. During the summer months the sun rarely sets giving you almost twenty-four hours of light. Devoid of humans, interrupted only by the occasional roar of Bears or the haunting howl of Wolves. The stillness of this place is just beautiful along with its remoteness, giving […]
