The Splash of Childhood. In the water saucer of Mandook in Zone 3 at Ranthambhore, Riddhi’s cubs revel in a session of play, turning the forest pool into a world of laughter and joy. These are the splashes of innocence, yet the jungle already whispers of the trials ahead, territories to claim, battles to fight, and a solitary life to endure. This fleeting joy is a tender prelude to the unforgiving path of adulthood, where the carefree rhythm of being a tiger cub gives way to the silent strength of adulthood.

Sunset Scape with Elephants It was a sunset time in the Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India. We have already spotted a waterbody with a partially inclined tree as a sunset location. Each member of the team was busy manipulating their camera settings according to their choice of composition. A memory of elephants were taking bath in the waterbody. I wanted a frame something unusual so that I could remember the experience for my lifetime. My prayer was heard by someone else and I took several compositional shots with varying white balance. Fortunately I saw a straight allignment of the elephants with the setting sun reflection in the water. The surreal impact of the moment was more precious for me than the photo because it casted a permanent memory in my life and taught me a lesson.
