Nilgai and Monkey

Nilgai:

The nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus), sometimes called nilgau, is an antelope, and is one of the most commonly seen wild animals of central and northern India and eastern Pakistan; it is also present in parts of southern Nepal. The mature males appear ox-like and are also known as blue bulls. The nilgai is the biggest Asian antelope.
And this one needs no introduction :)

Katraj Snake Park

I recently did a workshop to learn photography. We had a outdoor shoot session at Rajiv Gandhi Zoo, popularly known as Katraj Snake Park.
It is located in Katraj and has a variety of snake species. Other animals like white tiger, elephant, black buck, etc are also there.
It takes around 2.5 to 3 hrs to explore the zoo at a leisurely pace.

This brave guy was crossing the road in a ghat. He did a catwalk for 5-6 snaps.

Rains

Last month we had heavy rains in Pune.
Dark clouds, strong winds, heavy rains and lots of fallen trees.
After that for almost a month no rains.
Last week, water cut was announced. Drinking water will be supplied every alternate day.
Tough times.

But luckily, the rains are back :)
Its raining for last 24 hours, not heavily but something is better than nothing.

God, let there be RAINS :)

I captured this snap in the Pune University campus last month.
