A Fortunate deviation

January 12, 2018

Thanks to overwhelming modernization, the weather system around the earth is ever dwindling. Consequently, winter is fast fading away in Bangalore despite the fact that we not even hit mid of January. Hitherto, we felt inconspicuous winter. From past 2 days, altocumulus clouds are rendering Bangalore weather slightly hot. Consequently, the ceiling fans are whirling with full speed even at nights. With this hypothesis, citizens are forecasting a harsh summer this year too.




Before the topic astray, let me correct the flow and come back to point. Today the soul while leaving office intuitively veered bike along detour to home. The nearest path is traffic prone and dug up roads aggravate bike journey. On the way, visuals of crepuscular rays through  broken clouds shimmering the Rachenahalli lake drew my attention. Immediately I parked bike nearby the gate and grabbed few shots in my mobile. Many of them turned out very well and I was exhilarated with the outcome. The fortunate deviation of route resulted in beautiful pictures and the mood remained high till I hit the bed. It is not that I take great picture but the display of nature made it wonderful than expected. The snapseed spruced up pictures further :-). Also the latest camera update for moto g4 plus has enhanced the picture quality and details.



The Rachenahalli lake view is not something new to me. But today was yet another special day glancing the nature's beauty on lake embankment. People have spotted snakes nearby the premises, so be wary of your ground while hunting for that unique perception :-)



Hope pictures entertain you as well!


All pictures are captured with moto g4 plus in HDR mode and edited in snapseed. Thank you for viewing :-)

Palmwatch

I had reprieve from work during the last week of year 2017. This was the period I was yearning for from long working hours. Eventually, I landed in my village once more for a long break. This time I did not plan any travel primarily because my tiny little stars were home. Other reason being not interested. My intention was solely to spend idle time at hometown and enjoy with family. Despite the initial tantrums, I was happily enjoying my stay with twin boys.
 
Surprisingly, its chilly out there at coast. This uncanny weather was bit icy (not so much as to wear winter cloth) to bear with mild cold winds. Fortunately, it lasted only for 3 days. The presence of paddy fields and forest cover makes our village a bit chillier than the town environment.

Back to title! It is difficult to find time when kids are around to photograph landscapes. Somehow, I managed to withstand afternoon sleep and walked around the house with camera while kids were in deep slumber. What enticed at first glance was the tall coconut trees pointing towards blue sky. The winter season has shifted Sun's trajectory towards south and northern part was devoid of any whitish light. It was crystal clear day and this setup provided perfect frame to snap the stunning tonal contrast of green and blue.The green palms with blue sky as backdrop drew my attention and culminated in palm watch shots! Hope you enjoy the pictures as well :-)





The scenery which I undermined from many years was finally charmed by the azure sky resulting in some wonderful shots!

I am sorry guys

Dec 16, 2017


This real tale is not for animal lovers.

Today I heard these pigeons fluttering their wings nearby balcony. I thought they were in playful mood. After a while though, I observed their actions when the fluttering sound turned frequent. The investigation revealed the possibility of building a haven for their parental life inside the opening provisioned for exhaust hood of kitchen. The couple were transporting lumps of lops to build their dream home insdie the circular passage. Presumably they were preparing to lay eggs and foresee their kids. At the outset, it may seem fascinating but practically I realized the troubles that would erupt by their presence. The rampant defecation renders the place quite filthy. With me being alone at home and battered by overwhelming workload, it would be daunting task to clean up their mess. I was not in position to welcome the guests. So I realized the need to close this instantly. The mind loses agility sometimes during such situations. Somehow my mind illuminated in 15 mins and I cleaned the opening, wrapped it with a thick polythene and fastened the polythene with a rubber band. The couples were observing curiously and annoyingly the action of a draconian human. I am unable to visualize the beauty of your presence here. Sorry I guys, I do not have a choice. This is not my house either :-(.





A good thing is I sealed the opening during the inception of their niche. Had it been during a well established time, I would have been emotionally arrested to take such stringent action. Conversely, animals & birds of the city are nowadays smarter. Only time will reveal if these couples can outsmart my simple hack. As of now, this setup is panning out and seemingly, pigeons have comprehended my intention behind it. The couple perched over the hanging cable and later faded away probably with a tweet of curse. Pigeons are the symbol of peace ironically they created a war within my psyche. Alternatively, I immediately stopped beating my traumatic conscience as well :-).

In the end, post may read gibberish & immature, anyways it's just a blog

After almost a week, the hack seems to be functioning perfectly. I thought pigeons would poke the polythene and thwart my setup. Anyways the peace-loving bird is generous enough to understand and restore peace in my life
