Hello lil stranger šŸ™

ā€œItā€™s curious, and thereā€™s trust.ā€

My first proper up-close time with an octopus in the last couple of years ā€” and my first one through the lens. Spent a good hour with this little one, just watching, shooting and being completely fascinated.

A Checkered Keelback I came across during a rescue with Forest Friend

When we think of conservation, we often think of the animals we already love - The charismatic ones. The familiar ones.

Snakes rarely make that list.

In our cities, they move quietly through the spaces we have built around themā€”feared, misunderstood, and too often killed simply for being seen.

Maybe conservation is also about learning to look beyond fear and making room for the creatures we share our world with.

And sometimes, it can be as simple as knowing who to call when one unexpectedly crosses your path.
Just like we have emergency contacts saved for everything else, having the number of a local authorised snake rescuer on your phone can make all the differenceā€”for you and for the snake.

You never know when you might need it.

A fleeting glimpse into the hidden life of the forest.

In a landscape where most wildlife chooses to remain unseen, camera traps offer a rare glimpse into lives that unfold long after we leave the forest.

This image is particularly special to me, as it was my first leopard captured on a camera trap in 2024.

A few years ago, I got to tag along on this snake rescue with near where I work.

What stayed with me most was actually a conversation we had during the rescue. He mentioned how, a lot of the time, the rescue isnā€™t just about the snake ā€” itā€™s also about rescuing people from fear.

And honestly, that really stayed with me.

Watching these situations unfold, you realise snake rescuers do much more than just remove snakes from places. They step into moments where humans and wildlife suddenly find themselves too close to each other, trying to make sure fear doesnā€™t decide the outcome.

In many parts of India, snakes are still worshipped.
Thereā€™s a belief that praying to them can protect you from snake bites.

It comes from a time when people lived close to the landā€”farming, working outdoors, sharing space with wildlife.Snakes were a real presence, shaping both fear and respect.Over time, they came to be associated with water and the health of the land.

That belief became ritualā€”
offerings at anthills, small shrines, festivals that continue even today.

But these arenā€™t really snake homesā€¦
and whatā€™s left here doesnā€™t always help the life inside.

Iā€™m not sure what usually lives here,
but whatā€™s left behind clearly changes the space.

And this is what caught my eyeā€”
a common ground gecko, right in the middle of it all.

Going back to 2020 for this one ā€” The only time I saw an Indian chameleon, during COVIDā€”
just spending time in my mumā€™s backyard garden.

There were two mango trees, with a clothesline in between, and I saw it using that rope like a bridge to move across.

I always thought chameleons were slowā€¦ but it wasnā€™t.
It moved pretty fastā€”just very controlled.

By the time I tried to get it right, it had already disappeared into the tree.

I havenā€™t seen one again after thatā€¦ even when Iā€™ve been out in the wild.
I call it my invisible neighbour :)

What stayed with me was the texture, the curvesā€¦ everything about it ā¤ļø
