A short film: Ranganathittu

In a collaboration with Rahul Aravind, aspiring filmmaker, I worked on a script for a short film on Ranganathittu. It was a lot of fun doing this project and I’m really impressed by how spot-on Rahul has been, on his first wildlife project, with blending the footages into the narrative. Do leave an encouraging feedback, if you like the video and subscribe to his YouTube Channel for more travel videos.

Swarajya Mag: Winter Birding in Ranganathittu

The ease of access from an urban metro makes us underplay its enormous significance and take this magical place for granted. It’s easy to discount our blessings. That’s why when I got an opportunity from Swarajya, to write about any place of natural interest, I chose to write about Ranganathittu, a place I have known and loved since childhood. A place I’ve grown to appreciate more and more.
