Say Cheese!!!

 The Langurs at Batu Caves are very smart bandits, they are at full time guards, watching for any loose moments to steal out food from you. This shot portrays the angry langur (though smiling is the emotion at display for us), on his unsuccessful trial with a foreigner's carry bag.

King fisher

It is quite rare to see a King fisher at Coimbatore, especially at industrially polluted areas. This was a short during my visit to Coimbatore. Quite fascinating is it to see the birds, and when the shot is perfect at its focus, it makes the photographer more happier.
