Enjoyed facilitating this outing for the Socare children.Thankful to Socare and Sunand for connecting me to them for this opportunity. Story of Socare Ind… While commuting to work every day, he (late Mr. Mani) used to pass by the Bangalore Central Jail where he observed children crying outside the gates. With the breadwinner of the…
Seems to be wondering… 😉 umm… what does this say…? echo location isn’t much help in reading… is this thing bat-safe? ok let me try it anyway… Came across this tiny baby bat almost motionless but slowly moving around. Had it fallen out of the tree? Was it abandoned? A naturalist friend Sheema shared… [21/11/2021]…
While standing on the rustic roadside, I noticed something walking down the mud road… a mongoose. As I looked up, there were two more behind it… a family of them walking together in a group. I just couldn’t believe it. They were looking at me occasionally but still walking down past me as I stood…
Took a night stroll yesterday after a gap… its a nice thing to do every night. The frog-orchestra for which no sophisticated Bose speaker or Dolby Surround System was any match… faded off after a while once they realized we were there. But after a while, they started again… Came across these reflections… what is…

This a tiny lake with maybe no name. Anyway in Bangalore, we just have to wish a lake by any other name, remains a lake! Around April while walking around southern part of Banashankari over a small dry lake bed, there were some sheep grazing around. The grazing sheep were at first very shy, running…
Don’t bother if its nice or not… just in making an attempt – we learn so many details that we’d ignored otherwise. “A drawing is simply a line going for a walk” (Paul Klee) Don’t bother if its nice or not… just in making an attempt – we learn so many details that we’d ignored…
Have seen many amazing animal videos since childhood, but this was quite incredible. The comments are based on the video below, and are only relevant if you watch it. Usually langurs give out an alarm call, but the langur mother here is very calm and composed, and rather than blindly react, is very observant of…
Prani – a pet sanctuary off Kanakapura Road, is a nice place that children enjoy visiting that develops their heart rather than just merely their intellectual knowledge. It creates a wonderful memory for them. Such interaction helps them overcome any intimidation, and gives good confidence with our fellow earthlings. Its a well-maintained place, and we…
