Uttarakhand glacier burst…

Flash floods, cloud burst, heavy rainfall, landslides have caused a huge devastation in my ancestral Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, India. Many people have lost their lives due to natural calamities.

Disaster struck Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district on February 7, 2021 in the form of an avalanche & deluge, after a  portion of the Nanda Devi Glacier broke off. Sudden floods in the Dhauli Ganga, Rishi Ganga & Alaknanda rivers (intricately linked tributaries of Ganga), triggered widespread panic & large-scale devastation in high mountain areas. 100’s of labourers are trapped in tunnels as waters rush in. Many feared dead.

Magical Kenya…

Email: 15th wedding anniversary. Love travel, animals. (S. Africa)

Happy Anniversary!

Nostalgic, reminiscing my visit to Kenya in Africa. Full of absolutely awesome & tranquil experiences!

For sheer awe-inspiring travel, few countries can match Kenya. It’s national reserves & conservancies are well-protected havens for some of the most endangered wildlife on the planet, from lions & cheetahs in the Maasai Mara to elephants & black rhino in Samburu. It’s tribal culture has it’s roots in the Great Rift Valley, the cradle of human civilisation. Those looking for azure waters & white sands will find it near Mombasa, where Kenya meets the Indian Ocean.

Magical Kenya

Signature experiences from hand feeding Giraffe’s to adopting orphaned elephants to taking breathtaking balloon safaris at dawn. The big 5, a beautiful diversity of landscapes, animals & birds, fascinating cultures.

Sunrise, sunset…

The same vista. Never the same sun. Much like life, the stage changes even when our vantage point doesn’t. So it is with the rising & setting sun, no two are ever the same. Every picture tells another colour, shape & shadow story whatever unfolds each day. Reveals the diversity & beauty of life. Birds, insects, reptiles, trees, sandy shores all thrive under the majesty of the sun.

Happy Birthday!

The world’s best landscape photography & photo-journalism stunningly depicts the passage of a single day, from dawn’s first light to the closing moments of sunset. Experience shimmering mornings & opaque nights through the eyes of National Geographic’s finest photographers. Daybreak whispers mauve over a long ocean horizon. The morning sun twinkles in a drop of dew. The broad heat of mid-day radiates over a beach strewn with sweat baked sun-bathers. A slender crescent moon caresses a gnarled tree standing alone on the heath.  One-of-a-kind photographs, a breathtaking collection gives a surreal glimpse of our world’s wonders from most imposing cityscapes to most pristine landscapes.

From the heart…

I dream of a woman clothed in white,
Her eyes hold a vision of the road of life.
She whispers love through the winds,
Like two doves we dance and sing.

A smile is such a lovely thing, especially upon your face,
hiding all the sorrows or simply taking their place.
A smile, a word, a song, a look – seem small little things,
but when love sparks a passion, what blessings they bring!
