This post is about the Indian Armed Forces. But it’s not about the great task of guarding the motherland or the hardships and bloodshed of battlefields. It’s not even about the romanticized image of an armed professional or about the ceaseless tussles with our miscreant neighbors. With all due respect to and understanding for the [...]
This photograph taken by me on the way from Khoksar to Tandi has been printed as the cover of “Natural Instinct” - the coffee table book that is published annually by the BICE (Bikers for Integration and Conservation of Environment) group. Needless to say… I am extremely happy about it!

Pangong Tso after Sundown
The first glimpse of Pangong Tso was as entrancing as a sudden realization of having fallen in love, deeply and blissfully.
“Oh my God! I am here!”
It felt like a precious dream that I wished would never end. However, this sweet dream was for real and what’s more it was just the beginning [...]
Changla Pass at 17800ft

It’s easy to get carried away by the waves. I can float as much as I desire. But the waves might not take me to where I want to go. Even worse, I might find myself brought ashore an island inhabited by cannibals or get trapped into a whirlpool. The colorful underwater world can be [...]
It was during the vacations of class XIth when I made friends with Bunny. I was staying over with my cousins and that’s where he used to reside. We struck an instant chemistry and became very good friends. My cousin used to tease me that he seems to have a crush on me. Their remarks [...]
More the life accelerates, more I enjoy pausing it. Not that I don’t like the fast paced life, on the contrary I quite enjoy the thrill of being on the speedway. But, I refuse to be pushed around in the mad rush. I prefer hopping in and out of it at my own will. [...]
Claim 1 - A person can never express his/her idea absolutely.
