“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.
Listen to my talk.

Kuregad - A Tale of Water
Hidden in the deep recesses of the Kawal Tiger Reserve are a number of Gond villages having a close relationship with nature and its management. Closely linked with each individual of the Gond clan is a lineage of Pardhans, bards and chroniclers, who play a vital role in the worship of the clan deity and many other ritual activities.
Today is about one such village which depended on their solitary well for water but when the water started to make them sick, they left to settle at a different location.
Life in the forest isn’t always a bed of roses.
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.
