Birding. Funny that i didnt know that was even a word till 6 months ago. Bird watching- funnier that the word holds no relevance for the feathered species.
Birders will tell you that Navi Mumbai, Sewri , Uran and the Karnala bird sanctuary are havens for our ilk. Thing is for an aspiring / novice enthusiast there is no informed way to find out. For Navi Mumbai I had to ask my colleague who lives there to nose around, which he bless his soul willingly did.
With the world environment day round the corner, Ankeet and me decided to have a photo shoot a few days ago to explore the natural beauty that surrounds Powai. I remember hearing stories about the place being a jungle many years ago and how most autowallahs refused to even come here. 20 years of continual construction ( and some might say too much of it) has changed all that. However, like they say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and some stunning shots we did manage to capture. So here goes a few captures from the land that was once a jungle.
While these photos have been taken by me, credit for most of these is to be given to Ankeet, without whose mentoring these wouldn’t have been possible.
