<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>There cannot be any reason valid enough to support my absence from here, So I'd just accept being slack and get along this post promising myself to be more active :) Over the last period during my sabbatical there have been many transformations related to the genres I most usually used to perceive. I also found out my other thinking side thankfully, making me less dependent on the focal lengths and the apertures. I used to be a fan of the primes (which I am still) but my travelling style don't really permit the ease of use of them. Wildlife has reduced extensively as a result and my focus had to shift on travel and genres related to it.I don't regret this as all, as dependency on the technical jargon finally vanished.Noise, FPS, sensor size and other marketing gimmicks fail to appeal to me and I cannot be happier than ever. Not to mention the more usage of cell phone for daily use, trust me it gives so much pleasure to records some ubiquitous moments in routine life.Sometimes in the walks of life you have to realize that in the end, its you that you have to make happy, and everything else stands secondary. And when it comes to the set of "brushes" to acquire to paint the canvas of your mind , always remember that everyone has a set where we all have to comply to the conditions and be happy with it. As you all know that I have never bombarded anyone with the sermons here, or given any advice or suggestions ,simply because I feel in things related to art there cannot be a teacher. It just has to be assimilated from the observations around your life, the mundane and the simplest things around you. As usual it is pretty tough for me to write this, but somewhere down the line I had to.. that's why these are some words , unsaid.... </i></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took a deliberate break from both photography and writing to bring back my thinking machines on track and align all of them to create a resonance of all three. :) As it has been stated since a long time there is a big difference in doing nothing and being still. Yes the karate kid concept got the better of me.So in being still I just observed the work of masters,read about photography a lot and i can say that though I was at first sad about having a forced break I later on cherished it.And now I can really say that it is sometimes essential when you actually want to take a shift in whichever field you pursue.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have always tried to make images in nature that are analogous to the human nature and emotions. I tried making analogy of the animal world and human interactions before and I wanted to improve it further this time ,but with natural elements as well.Following images are very simple and I hope that I do strike a resonance with your minds in stating and showing them below.</span></i><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The passion to grow, the passion to get your goal and the passion to rise can never stop you from getting what you want.As the little twig resurfaces through the water bed and grows a leaf, it just reminds of no matter how difficult the conditions are, if you want to grow, you will, no matter what... </span></i><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After fighting off a long writers block ((though I cannot call myself a writer by a long shot, I am still taking that liberty since I do not have any other valid reason from a six month absence here .Lolz)) I am writing about a little piece that has been poking in my mind since a long time.The FACE. We all face situations in life wherein we see things that always are multifaceted around us. In other words, A thing or may be sometimes a person will always be same, but our conditions, and our frame of reference as our beloved Einstein points out, changes ,our lookout towards that thing will change. A little example would be just a smart phone, you will probably love it when you get a mail about your selection in job or an application, but same device will receive your wrath when you get a mail about pending payment from bank, or imagine you expecting a call from your beau and and phone rings to a call from the call center :D. So cutting long story short, everything in your day to day world and also nature will have many faces to it depending on how you look at it. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I always had a knack to see the things around nature a little differently. I can see some faces or shapes of it in twigs and blades of grass, or a rock stuck between the rivulet.Or may be some other forms that originally look different.Some call it abstractions, I call it eccentric sights. There is a subtle difference here that the former has a real world set where it belongs to the category of things accepted by people, latter belongs only to the mind where it first originated.It may or may not be accepted in other minds. Anyways here are some pics that hopefully will clear out my thoughts I blurted above.....</span></i><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A striped gold fish in the pool. I saw a tiger napping at the waterfronts in the hot summers in India. It was in deep slumbers so really didn't wanna wake up. To me the reflection edges matched and created a shape of a fish, Voila!!

<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this is about it. For me, the things do change once I change my frame of reference, In other words as you change your way over looking at it. Some call it attitude. As you change your attitude towards certain things , they seem to look different. May be prettier or uglier, all depends on you.Many a times we hear people saying I did see a tiger with no smile on his/her face.Why? he was sitting in the bushes ,amidst clutter so no clear view and thousand reasons like this from kind of light to the number of people with whom you saw him. Here if you see tiger, saying yes it is in its real world, trust me it would make a gracious picture. What you only need is a change in the frame of reference.All depend on how we look.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>When we see an animal, we kind of make out an idea of the kind of presence and the aura it has in its surrounding.Every animal has been associated with an emotion and a power,something like in chess,where animals like knight, bishop and rook are animals. We easily know about that particular animal when we see it.Sadly, an animal doesn't have a control on what humans got to feel when we see it. It plays along in its own way. It has its own personality, a character, a demeanor which goes along itself, be it any kind of animal. Of course it all depends on the conditions where an animal is, factors like human interventions, its position in the food chains and its inner flamboyance. A leopard in Sri Lanka (yala) will have a totally different personality than that of one in India. Simple reason being that the former doesn't have tiger, a stronger animal in food chain. So Indian leopard will be found mostly on high trees. Similar can be said about African and Asian elephants. Size is a matter in personality there. Also different individuals in groups have altogether different ways of reacting. As seen in packs of hyenas and wild dogs.</i></span><br />

Be it a cud, an adolescent or an adult tiger, anything written about them falls short of compliments.Tiger is always metaphored as a warrior, a powerful person, leading a life of a king and many more.And why not, the flamboyance of tiger is reflected in every step it takes, every sound it makes. Its sheer presence knocks the calmness of the forests off and converts it into a place of terror for a while. Of course its a fact that forests cannot exist without tiger for the obvious reasons. No wonder the most elusive animal of the forests is the king , the amazing tiger.Here is a pic showing a adolescent and adult tiger with calm expressions</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Exodus or migration as better put ,has been a phenomenon since the days mankind first started to flourish. or should I say animal-kind.,yeah the latter sounds better. Avians and mammals in almost all parts of world have been observed undergoing migrations for the search of water and food , or to avoid harsh conditions in winter at the place where animal dwells.Elephants, wildebeests in africa , or amur falcons, flamingoes from siberia are noteworthy examples of migrations. Worthwhile to mention is the northern wheatear , whose migration had been recorded using geotagging devices, observed to migrate from its breeding grounds in alaska to its wintering in kenya , a distance of 29000km round trip!!!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Well, to be specific this little snippet is far from being a topic on migration. Though it does deal with a flock of birds that migrated to the beach I stay near to.These terns must have been there right during the neap tide to have a supper of algae, moss or small fishes.Guess google must be having loads of info about this.(see akshi beach).</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>As luck would have it , I was just there that day at the right place on that beach, at right time. As i saw this flock from a distance, there was just one thing left to do for me , to approach them closer.And since you dont have any cover on the beach you just end up disturbing them. I stood far from them , moving little steps closer till the birds could spot me.This was that moment when I realized how important the birding ethics are and how much i missed the hide.These are those situations when you are in double mind ,as to whether to approach them , or stay behind and enjoy the scene.The long focal length did give me an advantage and I could click them from an appreciable distance. Following series of flight is from the same scene, wherein 16 frames have been merged to make a gif file.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I went back to the beach several times later after this day , only to my chagrin. May be they have gone ahead for their journey, the beach whose brown sands were turned white , is now totally vacated with no trace of them. I wait for them , to return, to decorate the beaches again and for me to click them again , for that perfect shot , yet ethically......</i></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the most cliched form of photography may aptly be called as the sunset photography by the beach. Not saying sunrise because not many would not fancy getting up early,baring a few. Many have earlier blown their trumpets regarding about golden light and the shoots during golden hours and I really am no great photographer to get into all that.But like everyone does I too fancy shooting the oranges and the pinks and purple hues in sky where god actually paints the sky as if its his easel and late sunlight like his paintbrush. It is always an out of the world experience to see the transformations of the clouds and colors, its really no wonder to see people getting philosophical and getting into retrospect along with the changing hues. Certainly a surprise to see when people can really relate the different hues to different phases of life. </span></i><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been a long while
since I have written , and honestly it took a while for me to break a block in
my mind. Also discovering about what to elaborate about, specially when nothing
around was there to shoot was a question. Just somethings then happened , my
chariot again began to roll , my mood again pumped up, thanks to the seasons ,
and some people who encouraged me to break this block.....<o:p></o:p></span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">About the monsoon, most of
the pics we all observe show colours , mostly greens taking much of the
attention as mother earth covers itself in green blankets. I just wanted to
portray monsoons in monochromes, since somehow I get more appealed with
monotones than colours. A simple reason may just be that my brain may not be
that well in analysing colours ,as in monotones :D . Here is a series of some
pics , in monotones ,about the monsoon mood....<o:p></o:p></span></em></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At times, we all are in a confused state. A state that sometimes can hamper thinking abilities and creative sparks in an individual. I am quite sure that all of us go through the phase and get bugged. As for me , honestly, confused state is something that I always cherish. It is something that opens up a plethora of opportunities, and if executed ,something or the other actually clicks.Although with many caveats.</span></i><br />
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now when this confused state comes when you travel or when you have a camera in your hand ,many would say that it wont be a good sign for making pictures, which is quite true to an extent. But there is always a chance to be taken, with some caution of course to implement some opportunities in confusions.who knows ,may be we could have a different look towards the world e are in.....</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many may not approve of this ,as the common definitions are that you should be sure of what you are shooting , but looking at a thing in many confused ways may sometimes yield some eccentric viewpoints.Isn't it true that when you actually are lost in a dream,you find a better one...here is a series of some of my confused states of mind,from the jungles....</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The music of nature-, the perception of the height of the trees and the motions of the green make it look as if winds have changed directions and flowing up.No of interpretations made from such images are myriad and its better to leave them on the viewers...</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well this is about it , the confused state of mind. I know I may not have been successfully in representing the idea behind the subject but as it goes its the curiosity that drives us. And as the prominent artist Salvador Dalli puts it ,"what is important is to spread confusions ,not eliminate it "I feel its more proper to spread them far and wide, it only helps to clear them. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also in every walk of life confusions always encounter you ,aptly its been said that "If you are not confused ,you aren't paying attention"... so the bottomline simple goes " Stay confused, stay blessed " ... :)</span></i></div>

Change and development always continues there, which is probably the most important lesson the woods offer us.... in physical terms, we move though them, but deeply within its the other way round, they move through us ,through our hearts..

<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love to spend most of my evenings on a lake near my house. Since I can spend long hours on that lake, I sometimes get ample amount for experiments.Mostly the lake is inhabited by common birds like egrets , kingfishers and bee eaters etc. Time spent on those experiments allow me to get into the nuances of the art and science of photography. This little writeup after a long sabbatical is just about some of those pics on the lake during a silent evening....</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a reflection of the bamboo sticks in lake water that was kind of making an eccentric pattern.The water surface painted with the reflections and the sunlight made it look different. Working on the patterns of the reflection , here is another one pattern made by the reflection of tree covered by egrets. Reflections, they sure are kind of different , especially when they are cropped to include only the water surfaces. </span></em><br />

<i>We always encounter this debate whether photography is an art or science.Though we all end up saying its both art and science. Mostly photographs can be judged both from technology point of view as well as the art point of view. Using either of the one can result in either a technically perfect photo with no art, or an excellent art photo with technical faults. We all start with techniques first when we start photography, exactly opposite takes place for painters, they start with pure art. Which is why we mostly come around art in paintings and moment pictures in photographs. After a while, we all reach a saturation point and in a need to satisfy our hunger for thought food we begin our journey towards the unreal. Many have their own paths, own thinking and executions.Of course , in search of uncommon we go to lengths ,some find success ,some don't. And as a common notion in this world, mostly the conventional rules. Below are some pictures , some technically flawed pictures that I shot with pure deliberation. Of course there have been several experiments before on the same , and I may be blowing the same trumpet again, but still, here goes... some of my attempts to amalgamate art abd science of photography...</i><br />

<i>Yala national park ,one of the largest parks in Srilanka is located in southeast part of Srilanka.In spite of yala being noted as the one of the national parks having the highest densities of leopards in the world, I had little expectations of the sighting of leopards from yala , given the shy nature of the predator. I am glad that I was proven wrong. The times in yala were one of the most amazing times I had spent in jungles , in company of smallest predator from the cat family and one of the biggest mammals ,the asian elephants, and of course the mouth watering pineapples.</i></div>

<i>The next drives through the park were pure blessing as far as the leopard sighting was concerned.As we were heading towards the inner parts of the jungle early morning next day, we saw a male leopard lazying around on one of the rocks.A typical yala shot of the leopard on the rocks is what everyone got.As many jeeps began to gather around and created ruckus it just walked around through the foliage to the other part of the jungle. Drivers proactive thinking led us to the other spot faster than the leopard. As expected it came out through the foliage ,not before it sharpened its nails by scratching the tree trunk.It was kind of lucky shot as its eyes were clear in spite of being in foliage.</i></div>

<i>Yala offers some very different habitat shots of the leopard, in the open , having its big territories overlapping with other females. They rarely haul their kills into trees, which is likely due to the lack of competition and the relative abundance of prey. Since leopards are the apex predators they don't need to protect their prey, which is primarily the reason they can be seen in open unlike rest of the regions where leopards are seen.</i></div>

<em><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Elephants, are certainly one of those species who have fascinated the mankind since ages, both due to their size and intelligence. I was lucky enough in yala to observe a chunk of their behavior right from the morning to late evenings. I observed them stranded besides a tree trunk and also running around.I observed them solitary and in herds.Certainly a trip to remember and moments to cherish for a long long time......... </span></em><br />

<i>Everyday while traveling to my workplace from home, I used to see a sprawling waterfall from an appreciable height just outside the outskirts of my town (Alibag). Monsoons bought the life again in the falls and it began to flow in full swing. I had been planing to take a detour towards its base since a long time,but it took a power shutdown of 4 hrs to finally execute it. One should really thank the electricity boards, they have really taken a step to transform the young generations to change them from being couch potatoes.</i></div>

<i>Siddeshwar is basically a miniature western ghats landscape coupled with a Shiv temple and a fort.It has pristine green covers all over ,with hills beyond and a stream that converts into a huge falls in monsoons. So it can be summarized into what we see in paintings- hills,green scapes ,waterfalls,occasional hut to fill in the puzzle.The place is kind of crowded on shravan somvars (mondays of august) as there is a shiv temple. But mostly people flock here on weekends to the falls for all the kinds of reasons they have.To have a glimpse of the waterfalls from a distance is kind of tough here as the way to approach it is tricky.To reach at its very base ,even difficult.</i></div>

<i>Vegetation is so dense that the light is really low on the ground.The stream flowing nearby, the chirping and incessant calls of the birds around, the croaking of the frogs, create an ambiance that is mystic and certainly one of a kind that will always induce thoughts in your mind to go back in the open.

<i>I headed back to my home after,happy to enjoy the falls and the ambiance of the untouched,unscathed jungles.It is only at these kind of places that we realize that what amazing places we have near our homes and it just takes a stroll near some hills,some jungles. It also makes us realize how respected and feared even small creatures like scorpions,snakes,crabs etc are. Every step you take induces that thought in you.Above all we realize how our planet before some years was and how it is now. It just takes a stroll into some rarely visited wilderness.......</i></div>

<i><span style="font-size: small;">This obviously was put forth for life but is apt for all genres of photography. Light is unarguably the most important element in photography and holds all aces about photography with it.

A part of western ghats ,the place has a characteristic feel of the western ghats with fog,mist,wind and a plethora of combinations of cloud formations. <br />
This is a mystical place in a sense that you are gazing into the vast expanse of the valley with a perfect whiteout for a little while and clear view of what lies beneath in other instant.<br />

A certain reason why people flock here around on weekends is myriad of waterfalls and streams where people can chill out. With absolutely nothing that can stop the incessantly flowing water and rains this place really is mini heaven for nature lovers and is a real stress buster.<br />
A picture showing people chilling out and how nature keeps an eye on us in its unique ways.<br />

For some of us who love to photograph things ,there is a lot to experiment here with streams,stones and their wonderful combinations.A stream flowing ceaselessly amidst all the stones and rubbles always inspiring human nature to keep moving.......<br />

vast expanses of the plains of this beautiful place.The mist creates a wonderful mood in the picture below where a couple keeps walking against strong winds......<br />

Being close to metropolitan cities, tamhini ghats is not short of many unnatural structures like towers and electric poles. Creating silhouettes of these structures against the background of mists n clouds gives a wonderful ambience in the pictures. A transmisson tower in between two hills shows a contrast of natural powers and unnatural things.<br />

Monochrome images showing combinations of trees and the ambience of monsoon always has been something different to capture.Monotone is instrumental in giving an enigmatic feel to the images,which this place deserves for sure.Western ghat terrains have always been a delight to visit in monsoons and to photograph them in monotones is really a treat.<br />

Standing trees on cliffs always reminds of some strong men who always stood tall amidst difficult conditions. Nature in itself provides us with innumberable things to get inspiration from. I hope we all oblidge that some day or the other........<br />

<em><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are things that are analogous between our world and the world of wilderness. Conventional and abundant things are never sought after.Well this is the way the world goes ,and theres nothing one can do about it. The denizen of the wilderness I want to mention here is another such common one.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its such a satire that this hunted denizen is more of a talk of town and the pictures as well than a living one.What can be more ironic than the fact that I used the name of this blog as tiger food ,but this is the world, you got to have your associations with the stronger ones however good or bad to be in the limelight. Sad but the truth. Anyways introducing you to this common denizen, one of the first that you see inside the park gates is our beloved 'cheetal'.They are so common that they have being listed by IUCN as least Concern "because it occurs over a very wide range within which there are many large populations".</span></em><br />
<br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Entering the gates of a forest reserve in central India viz kanha or bandhavgarh you can find cheetals in herds. Most of them who are near the track just run helter skelter on finding a gypsy running through the tracks. Most are happy amidst the shrubs ,behind foliage chomping wild stuffs.</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jungles,they sure are not meant only for the elusive tigers and leopards. Common denizens like deers and avians can also provide you with moments to cherish for.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Here is one such sequence I shot in Bandhavgarh national park when I was looking for the tiger. I heard a cheetal alarm call and we parked our gypsy to guage some movement of the elusive subject.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just during some lazy moments we saw a crested serpent eagle swoop around and land on a perch.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Judging its behavior it was evident that it one would take one more leap since the perch had nothing the eagle would be attracted in.Guess it just landed there to get a peek of the area for a probable kill.</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A tiger cub is also wary of the sounds and is very probing about them. A pic shows its alertness as a vehicle honked an unnecessary horn.A typical problem in nagzira as the forest allows many private vehicles along with the gypsies for the safaris.Inspite of forest guards trying to convince people to leave after 5-10 mins of sighting,adamant people dont leave their prime place of sighting which results in desperate people taking some desperate measures.</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Denizens of nagzira also include some comman species like langurs ,spotted deers ,sambhars etc.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The atmosphere is month of may is dry and hot and even langurs can't hide their resentment towards the heat.</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nagzira surely is a wonderful place to be in summers with such nice sightings. As it is near to nagpur connectivity is not a major issue.</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> After the rains most of the denizens move to inner parts of the jungle so sighting is rare in winters and in monsoon the park is closed. Since the siblings and mother tiger are bonded together ,sighting was comparatively easy.After the two male cubs seperate and form their own terretory sighting them would not be so easy. </span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Still we'll be waiting for the new cubs and have a dejavu of these scenes ....along the gaur galli road or the water holes......its now that I realize why wildlife photography is also called natural history photography too.....memories to cherish for us as the animals perform their regular chores.........</span></em></div>
