Comment on Review: Canon C300 for Wildlife Filming by Sabyasachi Patra

Hi Pranab,
Thanks for your appreciation. I rent out the C300 to productions where I operate the camera both in Delhi as well as any other place in India. I won’t rent out if I am not handling the camera, as there has been bad experiences in the past. You won’t find any C300 in Delhi. I haven’t heard about it in mumbai as well.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi

That’s a great piece of work. Fortunately enough, you had an assistant that too, with a camera. I can relate to this incident of yours, where, one baby monkey used to have some peanuts from my hand, on a daily basis. That monkey used to call me with his typical sound whenever he used to reach my balcony. The feeling of a wild animal trusting you, is simply divine.

FCI (Food Corporation of India) in an answer to a RTI (Right to Information) petition filed by one Kush Kalra of UP, has said that 2401.61 MT of wheat has been damaged in the year 2011-2012 as opposed to damage of 1997 million tonnes (MT) in 2010-2011. This year the loss upto February 2013 is already 932.46 MT.

Major Culprits:
The top three states responsible for food rotting are Bihar at 306.5 MT, second is Uttarakhand at 221 MT followed by the so called progressive state of Gujarat at 195 MT. It is unfortunate that Gujarat prides itself as the most preferred investment destination, however, it hasn’t given attention to food rotting in the godowns in its state.

In 2011-2012 Maharashtra topped the list of having maximum damaged wheat at 1444 MT.

In 2010-2011 Uttarakhand had 931 MT of damaged wheat to come first in the list of offenders.

In 2009-1010 Gujarat had the maximum 785 MT damaged wheat.

Hi Minu,
Each one of us has to strive hard. The challenge to save this planet is much beyond any one us. Unless everybody come together, it is going to remain as a distant dream.

I completely agree. With 7 billion plus population and growing, we are cornering all the resources to ourselves and forcing other species to become extinct. We have got the arrogance to call ourselves as the best species and used the term human to denote it. Alas, how wrong we are!

Going by what is happening in human civilizations, one can easily say animals are better, they never kill except when hungry and avoid conflict as much as possible. No cases of harassment, sexual abuse or slavery etc. are recorded from animal kingdom. And humans are only species that is killing this planet.

Thought provoking and impressive, the way you compared the unpoisoned naturalness of the animals with the lust of the rapacious monsters called humans. No surprises that animals beat us hands down. Loved the pristine video with a heavenly background score. Thanks for the beautiful post, Sabyasachi!
