Close encounter of an Asian Openbill.

-
September 2017,
Chawand Village,
Udaipur,
Rajasthan.

Name: Asian Open Bill
Location: Maharana Pratap lake, Sarada Block, Udaipur.
Shot on: One Plus X (a 13-megapixel mobile phone)

I didn’t expect her to fall into my frame. It was a random click counting on my luck but the outcome proved me lucky. It was not baited, set up or called in. 


I didn’t hope much to click interesting takeoff or flight shot when the Bill left the tree.
In fact, it was peacefully settled at the top of the small tree, and a sudden bike engine noise provoked her to move away from the place.





I felt it was not a common sight for a visitor. On my way back, I realised that I should really pay attention to discover the beauty next to me.

I strongly remember a Bangladeshi firm trying an experiment of making a zero electricity air cooler without electricity itself. After a small research, I came up with the know-how of the solution.  So this is the how part of th

Agriculture is and always been mine interest and lately becoming my passion too. Born and brought up in Pondicherry, I had volunteered in nearby villages on farming regularly, notably organic farms. During farm work at Sristi Village in Pondicherry Recently, I've taken a baby step in pursuing one of my interest, Sustainable Farming. I, now work in a tribal belt of Rajasthan under Gandhi Fellowship. We mainly focus on improving the quality of public education by working in Government schools, primarily building capacities of teachers and headmasters. Working far from the homeland, despite language and culture being alien here, I stepped forward to try hands my on agriculture here in Rajasthan, not on field work, but by providing knowledge support.   A comprehensive discussion with a farmer contributed vastly to the development of this idea and design. I met a farmer who has a high interest in reading. Reading habit among farmer is un
