         Ballroom dance is the flurry of recent activity that's keeping me busy. I am at silver level and so lately it's all postures, glides, ganchos, beats, rhythms, jumps and jives I am in to.  In general, I can say  photography is my passion. Sometimes I visualize a certain theme and shoot but mostly I use the opportunities on my travels. I travel to explore life in all its myriad hues and colors. I love nature, more specifically wildlife. Birdwatching is my prime interest. I highly appreciate and enjoy bio-diversity including flora, fauna and avi-fauna, that has grown over 3 billion years facing ruthless evolutionary pressures, and the results of human endeavor - forts, culture, traditions and art - over the past couple of millennia. I like to keep myself fit, so I run long distances, ( marathons ) and  do gym moderately. I love outdoors. I roller skate purely for the fun of it. I go hiking, biking, canoeing and skiing. Once upon a time I used dwell in literature, and write.  I shall resume my reading and writing when I find myself a nice niche in the world. Also, I enjoy juggling with sound conversations on anything under the sky  and wander in the practical realm of philosophy. I am easy going, a concoction  of strength and flexibility, arrogance seasoned with humility, and yet easily amused by the absurdities in life.  I always think of and contribute my own bit for the conservation of wildlife and protection of environment.
