Solar Eclipse Today

Image
Solar eclipse in KL, Malaysia was overly self concious but it isn't fake. It takes a while for the concept to morph into a gimmick! I waited patiently capturing the sun, peeping through the tall trees. Advice was not to stare back at the sun during the eclipse! anyways no sane person can stare back at the Sun- a fact. So here is the time line of solar eclipse captured through my mobile camera lense, as they could stare and click.

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; -Words of Rudyard Kipling.

The road to wilderness is breathtaking, the highway stretching from Jabalpur  to Turia gate is 186.4kms, which can be covered in a little less than 3.30 hrs. The National Park is under Madhya Pradesh jurisdiction but it shares its boundries with Nagpur, Maharashtra as well. Tourists coming to Mumbai can find an escape route to this woods, as bookings are well taken care by Tiger N Woods located at village Avargani Pench Tiger reserve.   If you are a bird watcher or a wild animal photo shooter, games are galore. Be it the water front or the rustled hill
