‘THE COLD STARE’ - I always heard about it, read about it. Now I know it - up close

Dr. Ghosh. Chill. I was just joking. You make me feel bad by saying sorry. I'm as such missing an opportunity to be around a photography genius on a trip.
I guess the earliest I can plan a trip that side would be in Nov. Hope they don't ban the use of own vehicles by then.

ETorque. Howz your Pune plan coming up?

Dr. Ghosh,
Its time you are rechristened... Dr.Gosh!
Those are some beautiful shots of the cubs rollicking about, awesome!
Liked all but love 4th, 6th and 8th.
My coming there is so so jinxed, every time I am making a hard effort there is something coming up on some site or other to glue me back here and wake me up from my dreams.
I still have not given up, thanks for your patience.
Regards,

Dr.Ghosh,
Not easy catching action in water, I tried and see where I ended up, that too at our zoo.

It rained throughout the evening drive today..... a light drizzle throughout.
Thanks to my vehicle getting stuck before reaching the gate, I was at the right spot at the right time to see this lady emerging out on the road........

............after this she walked around and behind me for about 20 minutes.
This is just a teaser pic of this episode.

Fazal saab....... where art thou ??

It will be a very rare Sunday to be at home today.

Dr. A Ghosh

P.S: Among other things, a group of friends are visiting Tadoba from Hyderabad next weekend. They will start from Hyderabad on friday night by bus to reach nagpur on saturday morning and from there we will drive to Tadoba. They will start back for hyd on sunday by train to reach back on monday morning.

Why don't some of you join in too ?

I had seen this thread initially and subscribed to it but somehow couldn't come back. I did that today at leisure and boy what photography and crisp narration ET.

Dr. Ghosh, you are a genius with the Camera. And Fazalsaab so are you. Will take me a lifetime to reach such skill level.

P.S: Added my 5 stars
