    I’m a confessed barfly. I genuinely enjoy drinking with friends, and colleagues and sometimes as a wingman sitting with a stranger. Spotting these Geese at Dhom Lake leisurely gulping a gallon of water along with aquatic plants reminded me of my binge drinking with friends at our favourite tavern. I wrote this poem on the…

    Back after a binge eating spree on Sunday, I’m usually not in the mood for some serious behind-the-range encounter. And who says, Soup is comforting only in winter? I always have Popeye’s favourite go-to energy booster – Spinach stocked in my pantry. Spinach soup is a comforting food for all seasons. High in Iron and…

    This shot was captured at Seawoods wetland on a hazy winter morning. The Black-winged Stilt was a lone chap scavenging for molluscs and other crustaceans besides the cacophony of the Pink Flamingo.
