@SilkyNsa Oh yes. Is usually a crucial part of looking back and looking ahead.

Kinda weird and stinks when you think about it. As per the argument made in the Houses on the #CitizenshipAmendmentBill, the Muslims are in no danger of persecution in the Muslim majority neighbours (which is why we don't need to include them) but in our own nation "Hindu Khatre mein Hain". #justsaying

@Themadraseye Oh, what a lovely coincidence this is. Yes, watching Roger on a grass court has been on my wish-list for years. And my daughter is probably a bigger fan. And yes, she cried after the finals, inconsolably. But the joy of watching him in Stuttgart (SF vs Kyrgios and F vs Raonic) and then following him to Halle and seeing him play 5 matches (so 7 matches in 9 days) - unbeatable experience. @wabbster @Bertyashley

@hackiechan As if there was any doubts about that earlier. The methodology has just moved along from being subtle to in-your-face. Is there a light at the end of this tunnel, I wonder?

@musafir @intelsohail - Correct, that's what I remember reading somewhere. If the state decides not to implement, then the centre has an option of using Central resources to implement - but that is massively inadequate for 1 state, let alone 3 or more. @Iwalkalone @TriptoRoy @Battrebeet @VivekT @TheDonkeySays @KayKap @Priyodit @KnottedBow @IshaKaushik @wabbster @NSure @shirishag75 @ashwin @milcom @Pranavgupta @HalkatHateli @shinjini

“Suffice it to say that black and white are also colors… for their simultaneous contrast is as striking as that of green and red, for instance.” – Vincent van GoghThis is a largely a black & white image, but in colour!! A Western Reef Egret just as it is about to catch its meal. This was shot in really bright light at around 4:30pm, just in case you are wondering.http://samyukth.com/2016/12/27/where-do-you-think-you-are-going/#photo #photography #wildlife #nikon #birds #birdphotography

History, rather how it unfolds, ends up bestowing the tag of 'iconic' to certain moments and images associated with that. Remember the one of the "Tank Man" by Jeff Widener in Tiananmen Square in 1989. Or the one from 1967 by Bernie Boston of protester sticking flowers in the rifle barrels of the Military Police.I hope that this one of the three brave protesters of Jamia Milia Islamia will be remembered in a similar fashion in the future. https://www.outlookindia.com/website/amp/india-news-wanted-our-voice-to-reach-miles-meet-jamia-millia-islamias-three-students-from-viral-photo/344126

“If you are out there shooting, things will happen for you. If you’re not out there, you’ll only hear about it.” - Jay MaiselAn ordinary image of an attractive bird, the Wallcreeper. A milestone image, in a manner of speaking, as it marks (roughly) the midway point of my collection of Indian birds photograph. This was my 650th Indian bird - out of a possible 1300-ish that can be seen and photographed. Has taken 6 years to get here#birds #birdphotography #wildlife #photography #photo #nikon

"Over a period of time the world changes; rivers flow, planes fly by, clouds pass and the earth’s position relative to the stars is different. This accumulation of time and events, impossible for the human eye to take in, can be recorded on film." - Michael KennaThis is a 1-hour #timelapse of the #MilkyWay shot in Hanle, Ladakh. The car was light-painted with a torch and is a good reference point for the earths rotation. #photography #timelapse #video #astrophotography #milkyway

What is the coldest you have experienced? This is what I am seeing right now. -10°C that feels like -14°C. And the next couple of days are expected to be colder!!#weather #ladakh #freezing

“Black and white can transform a scene into something magical.” – Rob SheppardIf you haven't been to #Ladakh in the winters, pencil it into your list - but go prepared for a -15°C experience. I shot this image this morning at the confluence of the Indus (flowing from right to left) and Zanskar (flowing away to the top) rivers. While I shot this in colour (forgot to dial in #monochrome settings) I realised that it works like a #blackandwhite image. #photo #photography #landscape #nature

"Our inability to think beyond our own species, or to be able to co-habit with other life forms in what is patently a massive collaborative quest for survival, is surely a malady that pervades the human soul." - Lawrence Anthony, The Elephant Whisperer : My life with the Herd in the African Wild.This is an image of the Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin shot near Jaisalmer in August.http://samyukth.com/2019/08/18/blowing-in-the-wind/#photography #photo #wildlife #birdphotography #nikon

Finally got a game at #TheOldCourse at St Andrews in Scotland and shot a 79 (+7) in the morning. Was so crazy that I decided to go back again post-lunch. And in rain, blustery conditions and sub-zero wind chill shot a 75 (+3). The feeling of conquering the elements at #TheHomeOfGolf - priceless #Golf #photo
