Kids - You need to learn a lot from them. They don't have any ego, they dont care about the color,ethnic,status. They just love to live and live to love. Every one is equal for them.

Very happy and sad to share an incident which happened today. There was one small kid who was dumb. But never felt the same after seeing his enthusiasim. He never bothered about the surrounding. He was able to communicate very clearly with other kids with just sign language, he smiled,hugged and gave a very warm see of to other kids around. Hopefully his life would be as cheerful as he was today.

So a good learning, live a kids life if you really want to live your life. Don't bother about others, love every one.

Intentional mistake .... There are many times we keep making mistakes. Some times we knowingly do some mistakes. Until its for good and not harming others its good.

This photo is one example, where shaking the camera which is a basic mistake in phography. But this mistake gave me a very nice pattern of the light with its reflection down. ISO- 400, 24mm, f/22 ,30 sec

Stand out ... Until I standout in a crowd with some special character, i will never be noticed.
It always good to be noticed for a good reason. The white shell represents good and it stands out of all of them. Lets get to the habit of having more good qualities to standout in the crowd.

Though humans have become so lazy to start their day,its not the case with other creatures. They are always in time.

This honey bee was all set in the early morning to start its work. It truly meant "work is worship" by folding its hands , praying just before it started its work. Learning from nature is never ending.

Ooty, One of the destination which was black listed is back on list now. Thanks to my friend Joe Manoj D who had given me a clue about this place some time back. The best thing for the Green Panthers to see in Ooty is the Avalanche. And truly named, this lake was formed because of an Avalanche which happened in this place around 1800. So next time you visit Ooty, you are okay to skip the Rose Garden or Doddabetta but don't give a miss to the Avalanche. Also please avoid using plastics when you visit here.

You can see the variations of the color green with the light in this pic very clear. Brown mixed green, Dark green of the trees, lighter green of the grass ending with Silhoutte effect of the Mountain. And the water front of the Lake. Lets make this green available for our future generations by Saving Water.

Every Trip has a Purpose. I Believe this place was the only purpose which put back Ooty to my Whitelist of travel destination.

Reflections can create magic. This pic is a beautiful example. Its creating a complete Arrow out its own reflection. A sharp arrow head, followed by a smooth bumpy shaft, ending with a featherly Fletching. This was best i could do out of the 18-55 Kit lens. A must visit when you are in Ooty. To find the exact location, you need to travel [By walk would be the best means] towards Destiny Farms Resort from Emerald Village. Around 300mts after the Emerald dam, you would see this place.

- Options - Life has so many options for every thing. With the advanced technology everything is happening very fast. Any product would come to the market so fast. With this we have so many options to be choosen from. But with so many options its making our life very confusing. Its taking so much time for us to narrow down on a particualr product. A very simple example would be buying cars during 80's and 2014's. With very few options of Ambassador and Fiat, it was either to choose from. But now with so many cars being available its so much confusing to choose one from the big lot. But yet we narrow down on some thing after so much of research, spending so much of time. Instead of enjoying the ride, we are spending more time to choose. More options are leading towards confusions.

This picture was taken in the streets of Commercial street bangalore during the CanonPhotomarathon 2014 event. This picture predicts very well the Options and Confusions.

Snake - Which is always an excitement. This one was found in Agumbe forest during Oct 2014 RoadTrip. With one of the characteristics of this snake, diamond headed, we confused this for a Green Viper. But later realized this wasn't a viper but a "Vine Snake". Wow what a beauty it was. One mistake we did during this was to shoot such an awesome creature in a low ISO as we wanted more light, which spoiled our further images. This was found when we were riding, and were never prepared with a tripod. This pic was prety decent compared to the rest. We need to very careful when ever we shoot a new object which we are not familiar, review the image immediately and change the settings as required, else the further images will be very bad. Thanks Kara SatishKumar
