The Royal White Tigers of Hyderabad Zoo

Pictures of White Tiger from Hyderabad Zoo Park As mentioned in the earlier post on Hyderabad Zoo, we totally missed seeing the White Tiger, as the line to go to that special area was bigger than line for a blockbuster movie.  It seems as a country our obsession with White color  is not limited to humans but also goes for tigers. While the normal tiger is highly endangered in Jungles and wild life sanctuaries of India, Zoos are trying to out-breed each other for the whites. I think a bit of information about White Tigers, should put things in [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

Hyderabad Zoo - Famous for Tigers and other animals

A Family Picnic at Hyderabad Zoo Park When I came back from Tadoba National Park in Maharashtra, the kids were first very happy to see the pictures and Video of Tigers. But soon they realized what they have missed, hence the demand to take them to Hyderabad Zoo and show the tigers started.  Now we have been to the Hyderabad Zoo earlier so I was not very keen to go. So I looked towards Missus for some support, but she had totally conspired with the kids, and I had a feeling she was the one who planted the seeds [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

You see that is where my problem begins. I have absolutely no issue with parts of the movie being absolutely filmy. I don’t care if Deepika Padukone wears a [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

Many people think that Equine photography and Polo photography are the same but both are two different streams, Equine photography deals with the horse portraits, activities and sometimes their interaction and intimacy with people. Equine photography is more [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

    This is my first entry for Weekly Photo Challenge with the Theme Change. Change has many meanings as per the zen masters Change is the only constant.
