I have lost my old phone few months back and bought a new one recently. Its Redmi 6 Pro. It has 2 lenses at the back and creates good quality Bokeh, though I have my doubt that it uses software as well. Posting few photos of our recent trip to Corbett National Park.

Took family to a off-beat hill station of Uttarakhand, Hathipaon (translated in English as Elephant foot). Not sure why this name is given to that place, but the hill station is beautiful and very peaceful. Few pics which I have captured of this trip.

Went to cover a cycling event organised by Saksham Pedal Delhi (http://www.sakshampedaldelhi.com/) with Delhi Cyclists group … captured few photos of morning mood

Though they disrupt traffic a bit, but I have found them photogenic.
Noticed few herds of cattle came all the way from Rajasthan for grazing abundantly available grass in Delhi NCR region.
I was out to eat Daal Fry and Butter Roti in a Dhaba, thought that we both were more or less searching for same opportunity… better food 🙂

Garhwa fort is located in town Shankargarh, approximately 50 KM south to Allahabad. It was built in year 1750, but it has few remains of structures of Gupta dynasty (240-605 CE).

I am in my hometown to attend a ceremony organised post death of a relative. He was old and on bed for sometime, died peacefully.
Dr. Sharad drove me to Sangam… there are a lot of stories happening at that place even after Maagh Mela is over. Tried capturing those stories –
A Cucumber seller
A barber shop under a tree
Papaya vendor and makeshift shops in backdrop
Off season struggle and stress, little or no tourists. Difficult months till January 2019

Managing, organizing and planning, this is what I do the entire year whatever I do, but for our yearly ritual I do not do this at all. Unplanned travel creates a lot of breathing space and gives me time to enjoy the trip rather than worrying about hotel booking or fooding.
We stayed in a good hotel at Shahdol on first night of this trip and after dinning Dr Sharad came up with idea of Visiting holy city of Amarkantak (Amakantak is know for origin of river Narmada) before reaching Kanha our final destination. As nothing was planned and there was no intention to create any plan, we all agreed . Dr Sharad got body massage done and brother BK got my car washed, we took all luxuries before hitting the road at 11:00 AM next morning. Trust me I was not worried about reaching Kanha before evening.

After Amarkantak, BK took the driving seat and I was given responsibility of checking accommodation in Kanha tiger reserve.
