Monsoon Freshness dipping down !!!

Monsoon season brings back all the freshness in whole environment, with green plants all around and wonderful fragrance of colorful flowers. With this it also bring good opportunities for photographers to play with rain-drop, clouds and colorful plants all around. Although Monsoons are not good for many regions in our country, but at the same place important for most of the states in India, who are dependent on Agriculture.

Values in Next Generation Indians !!!

She is Anisha Berry and great nature lover. Although I am not sure if plantation is her main passion or not, but she had a nice garden at her home and love to take care of her plants. She believes in applying her education in life and do things practically. She has learned a lot about Go Green n related stuff, but she wanted to apply that... I had a quick chat with her and she is really a sweet girl who thinks lot about our nature and environment. It feels really great after meeting such kids who have real passion for nature and also applying all good morals in life... Kudos to Anisha and hope other children will learn from her !!!

Monsoons are almost gone now...

It was a lovely day in office... Usually come out of office to have a walk after lunch and this photigraph was clicked on back side of the office with my HTC Desire HD Mobile Camera... It was dark all around with cool breeze... No one was in a mood to go back to workstations and spend time with their computers or laptops... Suddenly rain started and we had no option... For last few days sky is brilliantly blue, which is hard to see in Noida or Delhi.... during summers it's very dull due to all the dust and pollution... and in winters fog makes the things worse !!!

A very old Church hidden by long deodars on the way to Mcleodganj, Upper Dharmshala, Himachal Pradesh !!!

Most beautiful natural colors I have ever captured in India !!! It's rare to see colorful and neat places in India.. Many times I saw wonderful photographs from various countries with lots of colors and cleanness, but never encountered such places in India. It was a very quick visit to Dhamshala/Mcleodganj and we stopped our car near a church on the way. When we started moving towards the church, I saw this wonderful view !!! It was right time of the year to see these colors of deodar cones !!

Palampur : One of my dream place to live !!!

Here is one of the photographs clicked just after getting out of Bus Stand at Palampur ! It's such a lovely town and believe me, it's not possible to explain the qualities of this town in words. One has to visit the place to feel the difference between this town and others in Hills and even if we compare it with modern facilities of big cities or Metros. Although it would be bad if we compare this beautiful town with big cities like Delhi ! To check more photographs of Palampur Click Here...

Most parrots lay their eggs in a hole high up in a tree. Others may make their nests in burrows on the ground. The smaller parrots may lay their eggs in termite nests. The eggs will hatch in three weeks...
