It's time to Ramble On...

I think I need to take off the previous snake post from the top of my blog. Looks like it freaked out people more than required and might end up keeping them away from my blog :) So just gonna ramble on, sing my song...

The Lives of Others; words that just make me want to use all the superlative adjectives in one sentence.

The Bucket List & Rock On; words that make all those millions and millions of self help books a total waste...

Economy; brrrrrrrrrrrr, whats going to happen >:\

Chloropsis , Hoopoe, Orientalis, Accipiter badius, etc; words that make so much more sense than it did just two posts back...

Mark III 1Ds and 800mm; Yeah, right!!! Dream on!

And finally,
Bomb Blasts; words that make me want to put on sneakers and run all over my city to show them that it won't work...

Snakemaster

Steve Irwin is gone, RIP, leaving behind an unmatchable trail and a huge void. But there is this guy Austin Stevens on Nat Geo, who if you catch him on TV, you will not change the channel.
I am posting two videos as proof. These videos will make the hair on your hands stand, your spine tingle and whatever else that happens to you when you seriously get freaked out :-)

The first video is Austin Stevens coming face to face with a King Cobra, actually somewhere in Kerala. The King Cobra stands almost 4 feet in height when it raises its hood. Do not miss the ending when he animatedly talks about the experience with the snake and his respect for the King.
The second video is when he comes face to face with a Snout Cobra. And believe it or not, gets bitten. He does survive and goes back to photograph the snake! Making you jump even higher than you already were ;-)
Just watch both videos in full, they are just amazing...
