| Intro: | Hi there! I'm a retired school teacher. I was born in a small village in the Western Himalayas. The place is called Chamba in Himachal Pradesh. I spent my early years in the mountains and after completing my education, I moved down to the plains of India in search of better employment. Had dreamed of returning home after retirement, but then dreams are always elusive, aren't they? Now I live in the suburbs of New Delhi, the capital of India, and never stop thinking about my native place, mostly nostalgically. My love for nature was never cultivated; having been born and brought up in the mountains, I just inherited it. As a school teacher, I was able to fulfil my dream of looking at some of the most famous Himalayan giants such as Mt. Everest, Kanchenjunga, Annaprnas, Dhaulagiri, Nanda Devi and so on. Working in a residential school for 12 years and later as the Head Teacher of another school, I organized numerous low and high altitude treks to the Himalayas. I was able to inculcate in my students a deep love for the mountains and many of them as grown up individuals continue to pursue hiking, trekking and climbing quite passionately. Though I loved to take nature pictures, I could not afford a camera in my younger days. By the time I could afford one, I was already too old to climb a hill, leave alone a mountain! So as an old man, I now take pictures of bugs and birds and post them on TrekNature. But I love doing it and will continue doing it until senility grabs me or the moderators of TN throw me out. Thanks for looking at my pictures, if you do. My Blog is here I have also created a Community Portal named 'My Lens and Eye' recently. I invite all of you to join it HERE | |
