IRI - चाहे कितने भी हों मतभेद, फिर भी हम परिवार एक - Dr. Abhishek Rai

Nature is beautiful and to appreciate it as a nature lover, is everywhere. Not bounded to a protected area, or limited to be captured only using a professional kit. A long journey exactly provides a lovely opportunity to refresh your eyes from mundane day to day scenes.

Inframes: The Narmada and the Tawa river (lifeline of Satpuda Tiger Reserve) in her true elements - wild, clean and young. So happy to see the crystal clear waters of our great rivers. Captured from 12322 - Mumbai-Howrah Mail.
