“There was a wise old owl who sat in a tree, the less he spoke the more he heard, the more he heard the less he spoke. Why can’t we be like that wise old bird in the tree?” - Paul Ricoeur During the Covid lockdown, the entire world came to a standstill. Fear and uncertainty enveloped the lives of people, confining them to their homes. The once bustling streets were now deserted, and social interactions became scarce. This global pandemic had slowed down the pace of life for humans everywhere. In the outskirts of Pune, where vast grasslands once stretched as far as the eye could see, urbanization had taken its toll. The landscape had transformed, as if under a spell of unfortunate magic. Amidst the boredom of staying home, I yearned to break free and explore the altered scenery with my camera. Since there were no restrictions on venturing into nature, I seized the opportunity to embark on a solitary expedition, without violating any Covid rules. One fine morning, while exploring...

Staying in Lab for the last one month and saving money worth 3000 ( Rent for PG in Bangalore). I have decided to use that money for worthfully somewhere. I came back to Pune after finishing my project in the 17th of December 2017. I and Prasad have decided to go for a long bike ride for 3 days. So, I started planning the bike route and spot where we can go camping and the route was Starting from Pune - Rajgad ( Sanjivani Machi Sunset and stay ) - Satara- Paithan - Amba ghat- Guhaghar- Anjanwel light lamb (night stay)- Beachside ride to the north till Diveagar - Stay at Prasad's House and Next day back to Pune via Tamhini. So the plan was to leave the home after lunch i.e. 1 PM. I was ready with a backpack and my tent. Prasad was supposed to come to my home at 1.30 pm with his Bullet 350 cc. As usual, he came at 3 pm. We started our journey towards Rajgad via Pune - Satara Highway. We reached the base of the fort at Velhe village around 5 pm. After having buttermilk at the ba...

  There are no rules for good photographs there are only good photographs - Ansel Adams The Visual Blog  On 12th, March 2022, as usual, an unplanned plan has happened to me and that was of overnight camping to dam side in the Western Ghats. In this particular blog, I will keep it more visual than wordy. So enjoy the scenery through my mobile camera and the peaceful nature.  "The world is your oyster you are the Pearl" "Life is only a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see" "Photography is not just taking pretty pictures it is about telling the story" "Life is much better when you live in the present moment" I will spread wings and I will learn how to fly, I will do what it takes till I touch the sky." "If you want to be photographer, first leave home- Steve McCurry" "Be your own version to smile" "Peace is indivisible, and surrounding world confusion found no reflection in me- John Knowles " "Life is ...

  RIVERSIDE CAMPING WITH BELLA #3 INDRAYANI RIVER, MAWAL, PUNE 30th October, 2021 At around 9.30 in the night, after having dinner, a thought pop up in my brain was about camping. I was thinking of it for the last couple of days but well was it today that I was not sure of. Suddenly that thought of camping enrooted so much into my brain that I removed my backpack from the cupboard and started recollecting things I would need for camping in my mind. Put camera on charged along with power bank and Mobile. This time I thought of making a complete video of camping. Bella was, as usual, ready and she was looking at me in a curious way ( by this time she must have figured it out that we are going somewhere for sure). I emptied my mobile data into the laptop and make sure that has enough space to shoot the entire vlog, I didn't want to interrupt my timelapse due to seeing the message " You Don't Have Enough Memory in Your Device" which usually happens quite often. I started ...

 On 8th February 2021, Saturday CAMPING WITH BELLA #2  - JADHAVWADI DAM, Pune      Hello, folks! Welcome again, first blog gave me a boost to write this second blog immediately without wasting time. Hope you all doing well in this crisis. I will take you to another wonderful camping I have done with Bella (those who don't know Who Bella is - She is a pet dog).  Bella was ready for another adventurous night. This time I have decided to go a bit further just behind my previous camping site (Bhandara Hill) i.e Jadhavwadi Dam which is 13 km from my home. This was sudden planned and I was confused about the place. Finally, on google earth, I decided to go there. Earlier I thought of going on to the hills near the dam. But I could not found a way up there and never been there earlier, so decided to pitch my tent near water. I started late this time around 10 PM from home. Bella was always ready to go out at any time of the day. I am waiting for her to say, No I d...
