It was shock to me when Dr Bharatesh mentioned to me yesterday morning of the great loss....

I was in touch with him in the last few days and he wasn't doing well. He was hospitalized and he got discharged day before. He had a heat-attack at midnight .. leaving behind only memories .....

The last I spoke with him was on 21st. He called me on 21st Dec from Uinty Hospital Mangalore. He mentioned that he is doing better and he would like to join me to Kundapur to watch the winter migrants.
He said will make arrangements for that. I called him back on the 23rd to discuss on the plans of Kundapur visit. But I could talk to him. Unfortunately we couldn't make it...

I pray for the departed soul, pray to HIM for the spiritual guidance ....

Boating at Anekere ( Karkala ) !

The organizer were successful in starting the boating at Anekre with the help of Purasabhe has started the boating in Anekere two days ago. There was concern shown to bird life and the bio-diverse rich lake. All just to have JOYFUL TIME! HUMANS have gone greedy over using the nature's resource.

There are lakes which has no bird life and water tanks which are infact good for boating are not being used for this cause. The organizers could have used those lakes for boating, if at all one wanted !

Just the thought always comes to me "Who cares about nature !"
