RIOT OF COLOURS

I have been in the Indian IT industry since 1993 working for a few IT companies like TCS, i-flex, and Sutherland Global Services. Since 1st April 2018, have taken a break from the corporate lifestyle and have been enjoying life and spending time on my hobbies. Photography is something I was always interested in. It is primarily a play of light and being a Physics student, it was always a fascination for me. It won’t be wrong to say that “with easier access to digital technology, photography has reached the masses”, and I am one of the beneficiaries here. Within Photography, Birding is my preferred category. With my interests in nature, have participated in the following training programs by the Bombay Natural History Society: • Ornithology • Leadership in Biodiversity • Bird Migration Studies and Study Techniques
