A couple sharing a happy moment near the Madiwala lake on a cloudy monsoon afternoon.

I did not go out with my camera this weekend but was practicing it at home. As it has been raining in Bangalore for the past couple of days, the earth around looked a lot green and fresh. This time I decided to go behind ants in their tiny environment.

Here is a dramatic close up an ant and its space. I liked way in which the color and the texture of the leaf got highlighted in the early rays of the morning sun.

Its a common sight at sunset to see the birds come together to spend their time resting on the branches of trees. This shot was composed on one of my evening strolls at the Lal Bagh.

The very low sun as the background for the birds and the bright orange sky before the nightfall makes the scene worth a capture.

I dream a lot. And have a lot of wishes too. The things i really want to do. Some of them have remained with me for as long as i can remember. Being a good photographer is one among them, traveling around the world may be another item which may be as old as my wish list. There are easier ones too. I really want to read through a classic every month and try a new recipe every Sunday evening.

But I find it very hard to break my comfortable zone and to do things that will help me strike off items from the wish list. Since life wont wait forever, I better summon the courage to realize my dreams.

Having a wish is one thing, giving it wings is another. And between the wish and the thing, life lies waiting.

Its power, speed and a bit of cruelty that comes to my mind when I think of a tiger . But on my Tiger Safari through the Bannarghatta National Park near Bangalore this month, I was happily surprised to see this Bengal White Tiger in an amusing relaxing posture under the cool shadows of the trees, which I found very cute.
