It was an unreal morning in Tadoba. Seeing this tiger cubs with her Mom and then they playing around the lake side with the wild dog kill their mom brought them. Each and every act from the cubs resembled their training for future hunting activities. They would hide the kill inside the grass and when one cub would try to steal it, the other…

In the quiet darkness of a night safari at Bhigwan, this ground-dwelling bird , the Indian night jar ,became less a subject and more a moment of revelation. To photograph it, I had to lie flat on the earth — lowering myself into its world, into its level, into its silence.

From there, the night changed. Every blade of grass became foreground…

These Wagtails were actively moving around in the fresh grass patch near the shore. I lay down for an eye-level view, visualising vibrant yellow standing out with the large, lush green patch forming a creamy layer in front and behind. The head turn and lighting…

Saw this Lioness in our evening Safari on the first day in Masai Mara. The lionesses were on a hunt and I saw this individual flanking and taking a different position. The eyes still locked on the target.

Moment of a Crested Serpent Eagle in a moody pose. Though it was above eye level, the background and lighting were very good for capturing these moody moments.

Group of ducks were swimming and I waited for them to come in front of tall grassy part while I went on opposite side of lake.

So my last trip to Sultanpur National Park I found this Black-rumped Flameback also called as lesser golden-backed woodpecker. I just locked my eyes, waited and followed it around to get the best shot in the busy forest. I just fell in love with it, the colors it has and the shiny coat, it’s so gorgeous.

On the afternoon of the 30th of January, we moved through the different beats of Panna with quiet hope, seeking the great striped monarchs of the forest. Yet, as the hours wore on, the jungle withheld its tigers, and not a whisper of their presence came to us.

By late afternoon we reached the boating point by the river, and there, in the…

We were on our first safari in Tadoba Buffer. As usual the gypsy driver and guide were busy searching for tigers. They were always saying that even though we have Leopards in this area, they are very elusive. Thats when we saw this beautiful cat. It was in November and the forest was green. In between the shade, there was a small beam of…
