अनोखा फूल जो खिलता है 12 साल में सिर्फ एक बार – Neelakurinji at Eravikulam

June 13, 2021676 Views

Once in the Blue Moon but it blooms! That's what is said about this flower which really blooms once in 12 years. Its Neelakurinji, the blue-purple flower which gave Nilgiris their name, flower that turns these mountains blue. But this nature's magic got obstructed this year by another of nature's fury- the floods. Still, few of them survived the ordeal. Hence, here we are inside the Eravikulam National Park in Kerala which is just ten kilometres from Munnar. This park spread out on Nilgiri hills is home to Neelakurinji flowers and Nilgiri Tahr. !function(e,t,c,a){if(!e.fwn&&(a="fwn_script",n=e.fwn=function(){ n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments) },e._fwn||(e._fwn=n),n.queue=[],!t.getElementById(a))){var d=document.createElement("script"); ...

Tracking a tigress in the night

January 8, 20211979 Views

Sighting a tiger in the wild is always a thrill! A rogue tigress recently ventured closed to village and accidentally killed a person. This prompted wildlife officials to track its location and turn it back to its territory in the cold winter night of December. You can see in the video that Tigress will often go offroad but will eventually come back to the track. Tigress is aware of people following it, but not afraid enough to hide or run away. Perhaps tigress was new to this area and ventured here accidentally. Finally she decided to leave the road and lights of the vehicle to go deep into the woods.

After the unboxing video for GoPro Hero 9 Black (see the link below), as promised, we are back with the first hands-on experience of Hero 9. Putting this camera to some tough task, I have taken it for rafting on Ganges. Task was to test on many things. The picture and colour quality of the video, stabilisation as promised by the Hyper Smooth 3.0 function and its sturdiness. Colours are amazing, images are sharp. Camera took a heavy splash of water a number of times and well, it was fun every time. Results are here for all to so, also look the smoothness of the video even when the raft is riding on unsettling waves or even dropping in a gorge! Robust camera comes out a winner every time. https://youtu.be/uerbDEg7sOc See the unboxing video of GoPro Hero 9 Black: : https://youtu.be/t...
