On the banks of Banganga tank, Mumbai a young Master Blaster walks back to the crease. Enthralled by the spirited game of these youngsters, I was taken back to the days I played cricket with my cousins.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind: A Praying Mantis(probably a Schizocephala bicornis)
First I must thank my friend Swapnil for spotting this amazing insect. Initially we were fooled by it to believe that it was a stick insect, but soon after getting closer we realised it was a grass mantis, most probably a Schizocephala bicornis. Still awaiting expert opinion on this.
Please do comment if you know something about this particular insect. Looking forward to your inputs!
Diwali…the festival of lights! This is the celebration of the year and who wouldn’t want to be home for it? It is all about meeting them that mater most in your life, lighting the lamp together to usher in the new year, exchanging gifts and renewing vows to loved ones.
I wish each and everyone a very Happy Diwali and a Prosperous New Year! May you always be among them that you love most and may your life be a celebration in itself. God Bless!
