Just About Everything

Sunrise at Sunderbans, West Bengal Sharing some pictures from my recent Sunderbans trip. It was very short trip. We left very early around 4am and spent the whole day at Sunderbans. and came back late evening. The weather was not very encouraging, it kept raining off and on, and that depressed us. But eventually the sun came up, and the day wasn't such a wash out after all! I guess, because of the weather or perhaps I ran out of luck, this time we were not that lucky; we did not spot a tiger:(   Having said that, Sunderbans never disappoints, just the ride on the boat through the mangrove forests can be extremely therapeutic.

Kolkata is usually not cold at all.. but this winter, it did get cold, really. Our aim was to reach Gadhkhali (around 100kms) by 10-10.30 am. We would park our car there and then get on to our launch which would we waiting for us there. We reached a little later than planned cause we stopped at many places and found some very lovely birds. Soma, who is an avid bird watcher and also our chauffeur:) got some really nice pictures. We parked our car and set off on the launch. I had never been to Sunderbans before. And I simply loved it. The vast expanse of rivers, mangroves...was breathtakingly beautiful. The launch that we had hired was very well equipped. T...
