Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character, though few can decypher even fragments of their meaning.

Russell Viper This snake can grow to a maximum length of 166 cm (5.5 ft.) and averages about 120 cm (4 ft.) on mainland Asian populations, although island populations do not attain this size. The head is flattened, triangular and distinct from the neck. The snout is blunt, rounded and raised. The nostrils are large, The supranasal has a strong crescent shape and separates the nasal from the nasorostral anteriorly. The rostral is as broad as it is high. The color pattern consists of a deep yellow, tan or brown ground color, with three series of dark brown spots that run the length of its body. Each of these spots has a black ring around it, the outer border of which is intensified with a rim of white or yellow. The dorsal spots, which usually number 23–30, may grow together, while the side spots may break apart. The head has a pair of distinct dark patches, one on each temple, together with a pinkish, salmon or brownish V or X pattern that forms an apex towards the snout. Behi

Indian king cobra The skin of this snake is olive-green, tan, or black, and it has faint, pale yellow cross bands down the length of the body. The belly is cream or pale yellow, and the scales are smooth. Juveniles are shiny black with narrow yellow bands (can be mistaken for a banded krait, but readily identified with its expanded hood). The head of a mature snake can be quite massive and bulky in appearance, though like all snakes, they can expand their jaws to swallow large prey items; it has two short, fixed fangs in the front of the mouth which channel venom into the prey like hypodermic needles. The male is larger and thicker than the female. The average lifespan of a wild king cobra is about 20 years.

The Indian Spotted Eagle is about 60 cm in length and has a wingspan of 150 cm. It is broad-headed, with the widest mouth of all spotted eagles. This species has a lighter coloration overall compared to its relatives, with a darker iris that makes the eyes appear darker than the plumage (rather than the other way around as in the northern spotted eagles). Adults can be told apart from the Greater Spotted Eagle by its lighter color, darker eyes, and habitat preferences .After about three or four months the young birds are glossy brown with the tips of the head and neck feathers being creamy and giving a spotted appearance. The upper tail coverts are light brown with white giving a barred appearance. The median coverts have large creamy spots. After about eighteen months the bird mounts and becomes a darker shade and has less spots. Some older juveniles, unlike the lesser and Greater species, are not strongly spotted at all, making the common name somewhat misleading, and also lack the

A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.

A radical generally meant a man who thought he could somehow pull up the root without affecting the flower. A conservative generally meant a man who wanted to conserve everything except his own reason for conserving anything.

Vine Snake The green vine snake is diurnal and mildly venomous. The reptile normally feeds on frogs and lizards using its binocular vision to hunt. They are slow moving, relying on camouflaging as a vine in foliage. The snake expands its body when disturbed to show a black and white scale marking. Also, they may open their mouth in threat display and point their head in the direction of the perceived threat. There is a widespread myth in parts of southern India, that the species uses its pointed head to blind its human victims. The species is viviparous, giving birth to young that grow within the body of the mother, enclosed within the egg membrane.

Common sand-piper The adult is 18–20 cm long with a 32–35 cm wingspan. It has greyish-brown upper parts, white lower part, short dark-yellowish legs and feet, and a bill with a pale base and dark tip. In winter plumage, they are duller and have more conspicuous barring on the wings, though this is still only visible at close range. Juveniles are more heavily barred above and have buff edges to the wing feathers. Really Beautiful bird

This snap makes me so emotional. I don’t know why? So some lines from my heart came out…. तुफानो से डर के भागता रहा मै पर जब भी रुका खुदको बदलो से घिरा पाया | है रोशनी कोसो दूर मुजसे देखाजबभी खुदको ख्वाबो मै दफ़न पाया |  चाहा जिसे भी दिल से उसे अपने आप से बहुत दूर पाया | जिंदगी मे पाने कि चाहत मे जिंदगी को कम पाया| खोने कि आदत ने हमे ज़माने से जुदा पाया |

Rain makes nature happy & cheerful. All thinks are back to life, so do I. & can’t stop my hand to pen-down some thing. बारिश कि बुँदे मद्धम हवा और तु आई | खामोश निगाहो ने तुम्हारे ना जाने कितने सपने सजाये टिन कि छत पर बूंदों ने भी तुम्हारे संग सारे सुर लगये | दिल कि धडकनों ने भी अपने जज्बातओ के कई रंगों दिखलाये | ठंडी हवा ने होले से तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ उड़ाई | मेरी सासों कि तड़प से तू मुस्करायी प्यार के इस एहसास मे सारा समां तर था | कि तभी बदलो ने अपनी तलवार चलाई मैंने अपनी पलके ज़पकाई और चारो तरफ अपनी नजर दोडाई | | पर वहा थी सिर्फ मेरी तनहाई ! सिर्फ तनहाई !!!!

From “Marbles” we can see world in different angles. We can change marbles, if we want to change angle. In real life we cant. We have to leave life as it is. But at least we can try to change our life to get perfect angle & color as we want. At the time of shooting, I am trying to realize what I am going to change?

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 |

Life & happiness
