Jhadoo Pocha of the Heavenly Type

Another amazing capture of early mornings at dawn in the Corbett jungles from prolific travel writer, and photo blogger Lakshmi Sharath, one of the set of bloggers who were recently invited by Club Mahindra to visit the Corbett National Park.

"Jhadoo-Pochha " is the vernacular reference to the sweeping and mopping of the household floor that takes place in every Indian household everyday in the early morning.

The photo magically gives the impression, that the mighty Sun is not immune to these wonderful customs, and is doing a "radiant jhadoo-pochha", of the jungle roads, just ahead of , possibly the jeep carrying the bloggers, coming by......

(apologizing for a ordinary middle class take on such a wonderful photographic capture; but we are like that only ....:-))

Early mornings in India
sprinklings of dew
on the
just awoken green,
disturbed brown dust,
and
even the jungle
doesnt miss out
on the
jhadu-pochhaa
done so radiantly
by the Sun,
giant sweeping
ahead of the
Bloggers group
advancing in the jeep....... 

The secret of the Tiger Spots.....

Lakshmi Sharath, prodigious travel writer, photoblogger, and land explorer, along with some other photobloggers and writers, was recently invited to participate on a trip to Corbett National Park. One has been enjoying the various photos that have been clicked by folks, and this particular one got the wheels in the cerebrum churning in wonder.

Spots of early sunlight, in dark blanketed woods in Corbett. I just wondered, what would happen if the colors were reversed. And i learnt the secret of the tigers spots, dark on an offwhite-gold background.

Together, the sunspotted woods and the dark spotted tiger,  make up Nature as a whole;  A bright field day, or as Lakshmi says, "the darkest hour", just before the dawn, in Corbett woods.

The plus and minuses
of
the living universe
must balance
into a dark night ,
or a bright
sunny day.

Match this
and complement it
with the tigers spots;
Bright on dark,
and dark on offwhite.

To get
the dark woods,
or a bright day.

I now know
where
the Corbett tiger
got its lovely spots from....
