During my recent trip to Uttarakhand , I was faced with a problem I had never encountered before. We were passing through Delhi, but we had hardly any time in the city. On earlier visits when I have had to change trains/flights at Delhi, I have always arrived in the morning and left again at night, visiting relatives in between. This time, I was arriving in the city at night, and leaving again early in the morning. There was hardly any time to visit people.

Ma'am, your blog is awesome! I'm pretty hooked up.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Bangladesh, and I find a lot of birds common. For some days, I've been trying to capture some local birds, but as you said, the sunbirds and the tailor-birds are so fast and restless...
Nevertheless, I managed to capture some photos. If you want, you may use these in your blog.
You can find the photos in my flickr photostream here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hossainalwasi/
