White Tigress

                                                                     KHUSHI



A gorgeous white tigress... This cub, lovingly known as Khusi (meaning happiness), was born  to her mother Kusum (meaning flower) on Oct 20,2008 at the 'Nandankanan'. Kusum also happens to be a white tigress and she is 11 years old now. Khusi also has a sibling named Payal (an ornament) from the same litter, though Payal is of the normal color. Hope to visit Nandankanan on their birthday.

Tiny Is Tremendous...


The Humble Colors of Nature

 Nature's beauty is never constrained. It is also reflected in the small things, just like this small flower that grows in the wastelands but is still so full of life.



Bridging its Web



They say a spider's silk thread is stronger than a steel thread the same diameter. A spider builds faster too. Amazing how such a tiny thing can be so industrious.
