Hello Kalyan,

I talked to Shirish right after I posted the comment and he told me about the visit. Its such a small world. I was introduced to your blog through Rahul Raguram (Bangalore) and have been following it ever since.

It is unfortunate that you could not visit with Dr.Ravi, but hopefully this trip turned out fruitful.
Will wait for the Andaman pics. Wishing you the best for all your future work.

Dear Sarika,
It was thanks to Shirish, we even drove up to north Andamans. He is doing some amazing work over there and we were fortunate to visit two of his sites and even were able to go into one of the caves. We were suppose to have gone more than a year ago with Dr Ravi, but unfortunately he is no more. I will post his photographs very soon.

Hello Kalyan,

I have been following and admiring your work for the last 4 years or so. It is great to see your photographs. I was excited when I read you visited Andaman and Nicobar Islands and planned to visit the edible nest swiftlet site.

One of my very good friends Dr. Shirish Manchi from SACON, Coimbatore works on the Edible nest Swiftlet conservation in the Andamans and was there around the time you were. I was wondering if you had a chance to meet him? Anyways, carry on the great work you are doing.

Best Wishes,
Sarika

Hi Kalyan,
Wanted to know what are your thoughts on the “Save our tigers” initiative by Aircel. And how do you think we can do our bit in protecting our tigers ? Are you doing any special photo shoots for the Indian tiger?
