Nature’s Nest is an intimate portrayal of the adventures and expeditions I have embraced—some carefully planned with purpose, others gifted by the serendipity of fate.
Through these stories, I wish to encourage you to explore, understand and do our part to conserve the boundless landscapes and treasures of nature and preserve the rich cultural heritage that connects us across countries and continents.
Let’s make a difference together !

Nature’s Nest, as you see today, carries a little story behind it’s creation – one that I feel compelled to share before we journey further.
Not very long ago , I completed a short tour of the African wild, carrying only modest equipment – hardly comparable to most wildlife enthusiasts typically bring.
The tour itself was a dream come true …a dream that I had cherished as a kid watching films and photographs of the savannahs and deserts of Africa – mesmerized by how life endures in such harsh unforgiving lands ..through hues of dry oranges, pastel greens and enchanting pinks— through seasons that come and go… and how rains return to soothe the earth and nurture habitats once again. 
That was a dream without wings. What came up was a pinching reality after over half a century !

My camera gear was inept and lacked reach in the savannahs. Often felt inadequate amidst the grandeur of the iconic landscapes and passion of the seasoned photographers.  But despite those hesitations, the journey unfolded beautifully. I will share more of that in the blogs to follow.
A few days after my return, the images were down on my machine, processed as good as I could. On a whim, I shared a few with close family and friends. The warm responses with suggestions  to compile my experiences into stories made me pause. The idea struck a chord but purpose still  felt elusive.
Days passed in a blur.  Seasons changed .  Mists and fogs swept across the land, clearing  horizons of my mind. And then one day, the purpose stood before me staring straight before my eyes asking, “What change have you brought into this world?”  
I stood silent ! All I could see mostly, was a world steeped in hatred, violence and loss…a world where humanity, still thrives on destruction, dragging life into ruins !
I felt a need…a need to be a part of a change that is all possible.
There must be love….
There must be patience….
There must be compassion and empathy in all that we do…On all that we live ….
and on all that our destiny has graciously gifted us.  
We are blessed ! And the message was loud and clear… there are still some stories to be told !

Let Nature’s Nest be that change !!
