Happy Holi 2018 Mount Abu

Happy Holi 2018 From The Abode of Gods

FULL WORM MOON.

The Full Worm moon signifies the advent of spring. It’s at this time of the year that the earth starts to soften and earthworm casts appear, inviting the birds to celebrate the beginning of new life.

This Full moon is very significant on our continent as it ushers in the festival of colour in our wonderful country India. Holi is the Hindu spring festival. Folks celebrate this day by colouring each other with coloured powder of many hues.

Bear Walk Mount Abu

Sloth Bear walk Mount Abu

On the 7 Feb 2018, one week before Valentine's day, my grandson Keith and his friend Dev recorded this bear walk between Veer Bapjee temple and the Orio checkpoint, while driving to Guru Shikari. Video kind favour of dudes, Keith and Dev.

The IUCN includes as Vulnerable the sloth bear because of habitat loss and poaching. After the last census a few years ago,  they estimated about 350 sloth bears in Mt Abu. To read more on Abu bears refer to my earlier posts.

Inspiring walk By Tom Quinn an Australian Mount Abu

Tom Quinn makes a record in Mount Abu

Congratulations Tom you are the Man. 

Tom Quinn has done Mount Abu proud by being the first "BLIND" man to walk one of the toughest trails of Mount Abu. We from Mount Abu salute your resolution and feel thrilled that you have been the first blind man to accomplish this jungle trail, from GuruShikar to Vastan a distance of 26 odd kilometers.  

Charles guide is one of our best guides from the Abode of the Gods accompanied Tom his wife, his sister-in-law and her daughter. They stayed overnight in a remote village in Sher Goan. The next day they completed the trek at Vastan.

Young Kids taking the initiative 2018 

What a wonderful sight on New Year's day.

Today when I stepped out into the New Year 2018 to record my first bird of the year I was welcomed with a wonderful sight. Village children sitting out in the rising sun warming themselves against the bitter onslaught of Abu's winter, and in each child's hand was a book from which they were studying.What an omen here was young kids preparing themselves for the future without being goaded to pick up their books and study. These small initiatives by children can make a big difference to the outlook of the future. This sincere gesture of these kids made my day.

Kaloo Boy  came visiting 

Kaloo boy who was raised by us as a pup and had to be given away because of unforeseen circumstances came to a visiting out of the blue, as much to say "Hey, it's me come for my New Years treat." He sure made our day his excitement coupled with ours turned our cold morning into something of a Nirvana.
