Rainbow beneath the feet



Had  been to Kaas (Satara District) with Nature India Tours a couple of weeks ago, which is literally a paradise for the flower freaks. The plateau's verdant slopes, the pristine surroundings, the breathtaking scapes , the  invigorating fresh air, the placid lake and ofcourse the velvette rainbow carpet of flowers all around you would definitely lure you to its laps again and again.




We were a mixed bag of about twenty led by Dr.Rajendra Shinde, Reader in Botany, St.Xaviers, Mumbai and in the course of those two memorable rejuvenating days we catalogued about a hundred odd species of wild flowers seen in the Sahaydri slopes.




The flower album can be viewed at My Picasa.

On Life




thorns prick my fingers
the flower’s smiling at me

I don’t feel the pain...

Smiling Duo


I would like to say this is my prize pic of 2008 (shot in Bangalore , one fine April morning) as I share with you the beautiful moment I experienced. The sheer beauty of the "smiling gleeful duo" mesmerized me to pen this haiku...

In cool morning breeze
Waltzing on emerald floor
A blithe Cosmos pair.
