Hello Ram,
I don't really like to see animals behind bars on TN, but I'd like to add to the sad story. When travelling by coach on the main road from Delhi to Agra we saw at least three people holding these bears by means of a thick chain lead. They were kept to do tricks for visitors in exchange for money. We were many who were really shocked at this.
Best wishes, Ulla

Hi Ram.
Thank your friend Bear for such interesting story. He is old, wise and has that than he can share with us. Amazing close-up: great quality, expressive framing, cropping and composition. Wonderful reflection of his mood. Bravo, my friend. Excellent work.

Hello sir,
liked the photo, loved the story even more. a very sharp shot. you 've captured a nice expression. wish u had one of your better cameras so that you could focus on the eyes to reallly bring out its soulful look. its cruelty to cage these animals like this and not to feed them-it's a shame on mankind.
we too have a mini zoo near my home and it pains us to see them half starved . so every time we go there we take bananas and peanuts to feed the monkeys, spotted and sambar deers. recently govt has taken to release the majority of them in Malayattoor forest area. isn't it nice?
Smitha.

Hi Ram,
Your picture doesn't go out of my mind.I had seen it yesterday, but I had to think about it first, before making a comment on it. This bear has such an attaching expression, without any hate. Your story is excellent,like always. The old man is not so old and seems to be still very activ! Thanks
Best regards

Hi Ram,

like many I'm not keen on captivity, but once again this is beautifully captured and tells quite a story. That D200 is working well with you, my wife loves hers too!
Keep it up.

Hello Ram !
I always feel sad when I see a caged animal, and your note made me feel even more sad - your words really touched me. I love the expression on the bear's face, and I also like all the details - articularly on the nose and the claws. Very well done !

This is a really evocative and poignant commentary you have penned, Ram, and a great complimentary portrait to match those words. Well done, my friend.
