Respected Saktida, Sabyasachida,
I have been working hard to make a documentary on the wild life of Manas for the last two years against financial hurdles and many drawbacks of my personal life and against many other odds. But when I see some senior and experienced persons like you making such appreciating comments like this, it works like a great balm on my difficulties and drawbacks. I am really thankful to you! I always look forward to having your support.
Thanking you once again.

Lovely low angle composition. Nice eye contact. Liked the way the two mosquitoes are hovering near its jaw. All the best for your project. Look forward to more from Manas. Thanks for sharing.

this is nice. like the composition and eye contact . the pattern on the head and colours have come out well here.

In this world the saying ' Papi Paet ka sawal ' has completely lost its relevance..I dont know what a monstrous beer belly is called in hindi...its more about it these days. to be able to break free from the daily grind of a hedonistic existence and aspire to do something meaningful is in itself an achievement which not many can dare do ...all the best for your assignment.

@Dear Rupakji,
Thank you very much for your appreciation.
I empathise what you have said and I appreciate the way you have described it. When I go out for the wild I do not much look back for my family and the cost it will incur, which would have not been possible without enormous support from my family members.
@ Dear Mrudulji
Thanks a lot for your comments.
Thanks again
Regard
samrat
