Nature a life of connections Mount Abu.

Nature: A Life of Connections in Mount Abu

 “Nature Captured in My Photos,”

Photography redefines the way we view. It all began with a desire to capture the beauty of nature, like the vibrant colours of flowers, the graceful flight of butterflies, and the thriving animals in their natural habitats. What started as a hobby has turned into a journey of discovery, deepening my connection to the surrounding environment.

Have you ever noticed the magic that unfolds every single day? Nature offers us a silent, constant symphony. The sound of leaves rustling in the wind, the sight of sunlight filtering through trees—it all has the power to stir the soul. And when we take a moment to see and listen, our minds do a joyful double somersault in awe of the beauty we often take for granted. 
My photographs aim to capture fleeting moments, like a butterfly on a flower, the intricate detail of a leaf, and the beauty of Mount Abu at sunset. My collection is still amateur, but each photo carries a story, a fragment of nature’s endless wonders. 
I invite you to join me on this journey. Let these images serve as a reminder that beauty exists everywhere if we just open our eyes to it. Pause for a moment, inhale, and let the beauty of nature soothe your senses.

Just got a Whatsapp message. This morning a bear with two cubs attacked a local  ( Heer Singh) who was at his farm house in the Salgaon Village. He's been admitted to the Global hospital. Posting some snaps sent to me per favour Charles. Will updates as soon as I get more information on?
Some of the snaps are gruesome!
This incident apparently happened yesterday at around  6pm. Heer was returning from his cattle shed when he came upon a mother bear and her two cubs. When he shouted for help his wife came to his rescue and chase away the bear.

Mount Abu stinks as Municipality and Municipal Janitors spar over personal differences in the office.

A strike by sanitation workers has turned Mount Abu into a huge garbage dump over the past 7 days, posing a serious threat to people's health, souped with the incessant rain all week.

Mount Abu’s Growing Stench: A Sanitation Crisis Amidst Rain and Inaction


Mount Abu, known for its serene landscapes and clean mountain air, is facing an unprecedented health and hygiene crisis. A week-long strike by sanitation workers has transformed the town into an open garbage dump, and with the incessant monsoon rains, the situation has spiraled into a major public health threat.
For the past seven days, huge piles of trash have accumulated along roadsides, in the bustling market squares, and even near residential areas. The sanitation workers, who are locked in a standoff with municipal officials over internal disputes, refuse to work until their grievances are addressed. While the argument stays private, this impasse clearly affected the residents and visitors of Mount Abu.
If this deadlock persists, the situation will deteriorate further, and the foul odor of decomposing garbage will soon engulf the town. The process of recovering from this crisis and returning our streets to normal will not happen—it will require sustained effort.
While the administration works on resolving the bureaucratic challenge, it’s up to Abuites to step forward. We can’t afford to sit by and watch our beautiful hill station descend into filth. The people of Mount Abu can take a cue from northern hill stations, where locals take immense pride in keeping their surroundings clean. It is crucial for us to make a collective effort now more than ever to mitigate the growing hazards.
In a commendable move, the local administration has responded by rolling out wheeled garbage carts for easy disposal. The local administration’s response is admirable, as they have encouraged residents to use these facilities. But more needs to be done.
We are on the eighth day of the strike, and although the administration’s efforts are moving in the right direction, the clock is ticking. With cooperation from both residents and officials, we can hope for a swift resolution before the consequences of this crisis become irreversible.
