Rock bush quail female attacked by harrier. I recall my memories in this shot so small poem. रुकजाना हमरी फितरत नही , जक्म के बिना जिंदा रहेना कुदरत मे नही | जक्म दिया हें ज़माने ने बहुत , आब हमारा प्यारा इस दुनिया मे नही | थक जाती हें अब ये सासे , इसतरह कि जिंदगी अब हमें कुबूल नही | लड़ते हें हम रोज अपने आप से , हार के जितना शायद हमारे तक़दीर मे नही |

The full moon of November 14 is not only the closest full moon of 2016 but also the closest full moon to date in the 21st century. The full moon won't come this close to Earth again until November 25, 2034 For the unaware, a supermoon happens because the Moon’s distance from Earth is constantly changing. You see, the Moon’s orbit is not a perfect circle but rather elliptical, which means it’s closer at some point, and then farther away a few weeks later.
