  11. Most of my Himalayan Bird Count birding was in a Cold Temperate Forest with Oaks, Horse Chestnut, Indian Laurel, Rhododendrons, .

    The central focus was around Mesar Kund , a forest pond.

    The correct local name is Mesar Kund, long story about the that I will share soon. But this name is being changed to suit dominant cultural trends.

  15. 9th May 26 was Endemic Bird day & also Himalayan Bird Count Day

    Normally our group would have gone crazy - with birding events in 3 or 4 locations. This year subdued - people on assignment & in different locations. So took the opportunity to slow walk through a village forest

  20. WOW! An astronaut on the #InternationalSpaceStation captured a photo of the last rays of sun hitting a tall mountain in the #Himalayas

    (I've adjusted the contrast to show more detail in the parts that aren't directly lit by the sun. Original here: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/)

  22. Last night when I reached home I was greeted with this awesome meal.

    Jarak Bithuwa Saag with roti.

    Leaves of Jarak | Indian Pokeweed ( Phytolacca acinosa)& Bithuwa | Lamb's Quarter (Chenopodium album) are washed and finely chopped. In a wok unrefined or expelled mustard oil is heated, into which whole red chillies are "thrown in", & then the green leaves & salt are added & slow cooked till the rawness disappears.

  27. Restarted my journey after a few days break, with friends (@amenonsen & H)

    In between the outside weather was thunder, lightening some what frightening (not) with heavy rain, falling trees & more than a day of no electricity. Internal weather was also a bit down - now ok

    Today partly overcast, sun also out & overall cool weather.

    Ahem "avenue" trees line the not so avenue mountain roads.

    Sharing a landscape view & some cool trees..

  28. The first silence I experienced wasn't quiet.

    When I stopped speaking, what rose up was everything I'd been drowning out.

    Have you ever sat with real silence, not just quiet but the kind that reveals what you've been avoiding?

  32. Travel Update : Escaping from the hot plains into the mountains
    Haldwani | Bhimtal | Bhowali | ....... Mukteshwar

    The exit was messy, traffic jams & a hot afternoon. The heat index (like fuel prices) seems to keep going up.

    Midst of a long weekend so lots of non state vehicles, many with poor hill road etiquette.

    It became cool around Bhimtal. Will need a series of posts to describe what it feels to be in the mountains
