“It all begins with the idea to find silence and serenity in myself when I spend time in nature and feel its authenticity. For me, it is not only about getting the perfect picture of an animal or a bird, but more about capturing the uniquely intense mood or feeling that I only experience in wild nature.”

I also speak at events like the TEDx Hyderabad event & my talks usually revolve around photography, my journey as a photographer and anecdotes from the field which have taught me valuable life lessons.

    Blood Moon Eclipse - 7 September 2025

    On the night of September 7, 2025, observers across Asia, Australia, Africa, and Europe were treated to a rare and captivating celestial event: a total lunar eclipse, commonly known as a "Blood Moon". For approximately 82 minutes, the Moon took on a striking crimson hue as it passed through Earth's darkest shadow, captivating billions with its deep, dramatic red glow. This was the second and last total lunar eclipse of 2025. The long duration and widespread visibility of this particular eclipse made it a truly global event.

    This is what I could see from my home in Hyderabad - a Bortle 8-9 sky. The photo shows the Blood Moon with some stars visible in the low light and the planet Saturn in the top left just off the middle.

Fireflies (जुगनुओं/ మిణుగురు పురుగులు) of Kawal

The night was quiet with the hum of cicadas, there was a slight drizzle, and the darkness was a sea of flitting lights. It was magical to witness fireflies overrun the trees and bushes in silence, yet communicating through flickers, sometimes random and sometimes in unison. As I stood in the rain, they performed a slow, beautiful dance, effortlessly living up to their romantic descriptive of a 'light posse' or 'sparkle'. The surreal sense of being in the glowing embrace of a sparkle of fireflies was documented near the Kawal Tiger Reserve. This is the first time I have seen fireflies in these numbers not including the solitary visitors every now and then. Perhaps this dramatic decline in the firefly numbers and sightings is a consequence of habitat loss and degradation, accompanied by pollution - specifically light pollution, climate change and other global phenomena. Today, especially in cities, these stunners have all disappeared. Read more on the blog.

The Tipai Leopard

The elusive leopard, a ghost of the forests, is often hailed as its most elegant dweller. The area around the Tipai Mata temple in Tipeshwar is a compact patch of dense forest cover with a number of old and mature trees and is prime habitat for leopards. It was about 7am on the morning of 8th June when we got word of this leopard lazing in a tree just below the mandir
