MR. JAIRAM RAMESH PLEASE SAVE THE HILLS (30th Jan 2011)

GREEN HILLS BEING RAVAGED IN VIDARBHA & NEW MUMBAI


Hills near Buti Bori, Vidarbha will soon be history...


Did Ministry of Environment gave the orders?


Work to wipe out the hills is in full swing...


Please save these hills fast Mr. Minister...before it's too late...


Even in New Mumbai... hills are being ravaged...


Is the State Government responsible for the callous act?


The rich vegetation will be gone in few months...


The trees are crying in pain...


They will not be there in near future...


What will be the future without hills?


Oblivious of the danger their future holds...

VILLAGE HOMES IN VIDARBHA (28th Jan 2011)

FARMERS' HOMES


A long shot...


Cattle in a playful mood...


Bullock cart - the necessity of every farmer...


The land of the farmers...


A long shot...


Shot from a moving bus...


Cattle resting in shade...


The beautiful arid landscape...


The cattle shed in a farmer's home...

24 YEARS IN THE RUNNING: IRRIGATION CANAL STILL INCOMPLETE (24th Jan 2011)

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DELAY?


Surveyed in 1962, work sanctioned in 1987...


Many PMs & CMs have come & gone...


... in its 24th year, the canal is still incomplete...


1962 to 2011... who is responsible for the delay?


A snail would have created a bigger crater in 24 years...


The work is moving at a snail's pace...


River water are being diverted to heavy industries & thermal projects...


Will this canal ever come in service for poor farmers in Vidarbha???

A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT IN WARDHA (22nd Jan 2011)

BEAUTY, SERENITY & AMAZING!!!


A dot in the horizon...


Bigger & Brighter...


As night engulfs the city...


The beautiful moon as seen from my balcony...


Perfection lies in being imperfect...


Beauty in full splendour...


City under moonlight...


Saying goodbye to city...

CATTLE, LOVE & ME (13th Jan 2011)

LOVE BINDS US ALL...


A calf yearning for mother's milk...


The joy reminds me of my childhood...


Love needs no words...


All it needs is a loving pat...


They were taller than me...


In the midst of the stable...


It is meal time guys...


Time to say goodbye...
