Prop roots

The pic below taken during my visit to the Mangrove forests located in Pichavaram lake, about 18 KMs from the famous temple city of Chidambaram, Tamilnadu.

These are the rarest marsh land situated near the seashore of Bay of Bengal.

What appear to be the trunks of trees, are actually the roots of the water dependant mangrove forest trees. The roots do both get  nourishment and provide support to the trees that actually thrive on the backwaters of the nearby sea.

This place , Pichavaram, is preserved as a Eco centre and declared as a Eco tourism spot.

Earlier, many movies were made here with boat chasing scenes as the climax of the story.

Why the film makers deserted this beautiful scenic place, is a question mark.

Mynah

Nature is beautiful .Be it a small plant or bird or a big mountain.

Each creation of nature is unique in its own way.

This bird, Mynah, has a yellow line behind the black eye and the same colour marks the beak also.
The white undercover and white feathers in the tail add beauty to this bird.

This pic from our neighbourhood.

Happy Xmas

Smoking affects health genes

A new study revealed that smoking alters several health genes leading to health problems such as increased risk for cancer and diabetes.

These effects on genes are likely not caused by the substances in the tobacco. But by the products that are formed when the tobacco is burnt.

So it's better to shun the evil itself: tobacco.

How r u

This photo reproduced from a newspaper, shows " How concerned are even the so called Five sensed animals.

Why not humans learn this !!!!!

Xmas guides

Christmas means the Birth of Jesus.
Actually, the star or ray of light that appeared before the birth of Christ  was always forgotten.

That light or star actually is the manifestation of Divinity itself.

Here the Tree of  colorful and glittering light enthrals our life: reminding that life is to be lived and enjoyed benefitting all the fellow beings on this earth.

Light always signifies the good destroying the evil of darkness.

The same principle is followed in the Diwali festival of Hinduism. 

Actually there is a common goal for all religions that preach variety of routes.

Full moon

This pic of Full Moon taken from our balcony.
The twigs of Silver oak tree can be seen as if supporting the Yellow Golden Moon from falling .

Full Moon appearing every month makes our life very special. The cooling but radiant light of the moon softens the circumstances whatever be that you are in.

Full Moon is another special gift of nature to enable the human beings relax.

Squirrel

Squirrel is the cutest animal I have ever seen .

It's the most active but harmless creature among the animals.
Even pigeon touted to be the Peace ambassador is found to be fighting with its own tribe and with others when it comes to feeding.

This photo was taken when the squirrel was relishing the  tasty food on the floor of our balcony.

Cuckoo

The bird in the photo is a Male cuckoo. 
A female bird is black in color.
Both of them remain together. Always.

The uniqueness of Cuckoos is that they don't build their own nest.
The female bird lays the eggs, generally in the nest of Crows.

Crows though smart, don't recognize the eggs of the cuckoo.
Crows incubate, hatch and nourish the chicks of her own and the stranger. 
Crows in that way are unbiased and treat all the chicks in the nest as of her.

Rockfort temple, Trichy

  This temple on top of the hill rock is known Uchippillaiyar Koil. Located in Trichy of Tamilnadu. India.The rock rises to a height of 273 feet to be climbed with the help of 417 steps.

Ooty

Ooty is the hill town of Tamilnadu, India. It's also called as the Queen of Hill stations. And also popularly called as Blue Mountains. 

This town is the crowning glory of an entire district known as Nilgiris which means the Blue mountains in local dialect. 

This town served as the summer retreat for British people during their rule over India.

The mountain has a variety and range of flora and fauna.

The most attractive is the scenery as above. Also the Botanical garden and Boat house.

The ancient tribals Todas have their origin here only.

This  place is near C hennaraypatna about 144 Kms from Bangalore, India.The uniqueness of this statue is that this is the world's highest monolithic statue without external support. The statue is 17.6 Meters (58.8 feet) high, situated on a hill at Shravanabelagola town. Statue installed in 983 A.D.

Shravanabelagola is a pilgrimage center for Jains, the followers of Jainism from ancient time

Discipline always looks beautiful

Cranes are known for not only Patience in preying.
But the discipline in movement also: walking, jogging and flying.

Thrill rocks but also kills.

Never drive like this or in any other way that puts you and your family and all those depend on you.

Thrilldriving like this will turn out to be the killer of someone on the road.

Anything of Nature is example of simplicity and openness. Being open or being what you are is called as "Nirvana" in Hinduism.

See how these flowers grin in the air. Without any fear or favour.
