As busy as it gets.
Can anyone help recognize the flower?
Captured close to dusk, this one was my favourite out of all shots that day.
Near Kapu, we spotted peacocks in large numbers. It was tough to get a good shot of these shy birds though.
Peacock is the national bird of India.

Although India is one of the most populated country, as the cities grow - agriculture in rural India faces a huge challenge with sharp decrease in number of those who'd work in fields.

Of late, whenever anyone throws a question asking which place (city) I'm from, there isn't by any means a ready answer. The confusion lies in the fact that I haven't lived for long in any place that I could call my home town and that I've lived major part of my life till now in the city of Bengaluru! Yes, I was born in Davanagere. The city famous for its Dosa and cotton mills. I was brought up in the lovely fort city of Chitradurga. Rocky hills, ponds and the truly mesmerizing channels of harvested rain water running into ponds that always made us wonder how the city even got into facing scarcity of water. It is said that a British officer who visited Chitradurga fort was quite relieved that they did not have to fight to win it. The historic fort is said to have been impenetrable.
