At Bhimashankar (undated)


After a false alarm, that one of our friends could see a leopard's spotted skin through his binoculars, that turned out to be a languor on much closer inspection, standing on all fours over a cliff, probably doing a leopard imitation for its chums, we made steady progress through the morning.

Overcast, without the prospect of rain, Wander was the most nimble of the four, making it steadily through this breathtaking route.Below, to the right, a whole forest teemed with jungle sounds, its limited blessed radius not yet intruded by humans...

Bhimashankar: Glug glug glug

Glug glug glug?
Well, those are the words you see in comic strips when a character intakes liquids.
Returning from the trek, we drank like desert travellers do in stories, on arriving upon an oasis.

Bhimashankar clicks: the 'swing' thing

Being featured on my blog, sometimes, is like being caught dancing by your parents at a dance bar, as a bar dancer, that is.
Especially if you happen to know me, and I happen to photograph you...
So I have withheld the names except for the first letter.

For example, instead of saying, " I am a bar dancer," you say," I am a B."
Let the listener do rest of the guess work...



I swings...


V too...


P poses
