We had been on a trip to Coorg, a small and a very popular hill station in Karnataka which is also know for its people and food. Coorg, a place as we know it is filled with widespread dense greenery and so many types of animals. Friends and I stayed over at a friend's aunt's estate, a very beautiful home surrounded by an even more beautiful sight.
As I can still remember it, on rear side of the estate were really tall and huge trees which was more like a plantation actually and on the front side was a very beautiful scene of a CHAIN OF HILLS which was actually behind a forest like space. The thing which I did not like about that estate was that the fencing of the estate prevented us from going towards the hills which was really sad because it prevented us from doing all the crazy things that could have popped up in our heads if there was a way towards the hills through the forest, but it was obviously meant for our safety. The most amazing thing in the estate was the tree house which was at a height of about 6 meters approximately and it was located just beside our accommodation. Looking at the tree house, I got really excited and a sudden rush of adrenalin that I climbed up and the next thing I could remember was that I was in the air and the very next moment I was rolling on the grass land and when I finally came to a halt, I saw myself in a pit and then moments later I realized that it was actually the gutter of the accommodation building, eewww... Well, the good thing was that it was not like the gutters found in the cities filled with trash or other rubbish, which saved me from taken bath twice, lol... When I try to picture that moment, I can see myself running 3 to 4 steps and then jumping off the edge of the tree house with my hands in the front just like SUPERMAN... That was one of the most silliest or should I say the dumbest but the funniest moments of them all.
I was not into photography at that time, but I sure wish I had a camera then so that I could have recorded some of the craziest moments we all had then. The scene that I can never forget, three of us pretending to be wildlife researchers running behind a cow inside the estate with a camera and a book folded and using it like a mike. We were talking in front of the camera as though we were doing a show on Nat Geo or some other channel. Ofcourse we messed around with that cow but that was not it, we did the same to a friend also. Another unforgettable incident was CATCHING THE SNAKE. When a friend and I caught the snake, we took some photos of it. It was a very beautiful brown color snake with a black thin line running from the head till the tail with a very beautiful pattern. That was the first time I caught a snake and that was the time I wished that I had a camera of my own then so that I could get some good pictures of the snake.
Back to Bangalore, the capital city of Karnatake, THE SILICON VALLEY of India and my home town. That day had finally come when I went to buy a camera. It was a SONY CYBERSHOT T70 that I ebded up with. From that day onwards I was never seen without my camera in my hands. Ofcourse when some new electronic device is in your hand, you try out all its features. That is what I was doing till I came across this feature called MACRO MODE. My jaw literally dropped when I saw the picture I clicked in the macro mode. That was a very great moment for me because that was a picture which I had clicked. Since then I went on clicking pictures only in that mode and I was very well appreciated for my pictures =) Later on I did explore the different styles.
This is how I entered into the photography stream. Since then I've been loving it even more and more every time I click a picture.

There were so many more moments which I wanted to keep with me in the form of a picture like the weird somersaults which we all did in a very shallow pool, the very scary night walks through the woods and hide and seek (all after 12 A.M.), we playing Jenga, the tribal dance around the bonfire, the funny dares and most importantly the extremely beautiful sights of the hills, the waterfall, the forests, etc... Before the trip had come to an end, I had made up my mind to buy a camera for myself.
