As an Amateurs - part1

As an Amateurs 

part-1

Old Ross Island by amritography


Everyone in their life finds the interesting parts within themselves. My love for nature has always been my first priority.


During my school days, I used to find interests in things like carpentry waste, sports such as basketball, cricket, football, and lippan art. There's one more thing I liked to do, but my financial background didn't support it. Photography is an expensive hobby, and buying a camera was not possible for me back then.


When I entered my undergraduate years, I began writing in both Hindi and English. Here are some of my poems:

HINDI

"""मेरा भारत महान"""

मेरा भारत महान,  मेरा भारत महान।

कोई ना हिंदू, कोई ना मुस्लिम,

कोई नहीं यहां सिख इसाई,

सब है बहना भाई,

हर त्यौहार मनाते हैं हम,

सब मिलकर अकबर, साई।


मोर, कमल और बरगद, बाग संघ है आम,

संघ तिरंगा, अशोक चक्र, राष्ट्रगीत में वंदे मातरम,

जन गण मन है राष्ट्रगान, ताज महल और कुतुब मीनार संघ, 

दृढ़ खड़ा है राष्ट अभिमान।


अलग-अलग धरती है इसकी,

विभिन्न प्रकार के वन और उपवन,

हर भाषा और हर बोली के, अलग-अलग है फार्म,

अलग-अलग खानपान में, स्वादिष्ट है हर पकवान,

अलग-अलग होते हुए भी, मेरा भारत महान।


तब के युग में बापू, सरदार संघ पटेल हमारे,

भगत, बॉस और वीर सावरकर।

अब के युग में अब्दुल, अटल और मोदी है धीर हमारे।

संघ शांता, भावना, गुंजन।

इकहत्तर के ढाका से लेकर, उन्नीस के बालाकोट तक,

हर दिवस कर बलिदान, बन रहा है ‌‍-

मेरा भारत महान।


मुझको है कोटि-कोटि अभिमान,

लिए जन्म इस जन्म के, 

हर जन्म कह सके हम,

मेरा भारत महान, मेरा भारत महान।

ENGLISH

    ' ' ' LIFE ' ' '

I am the life

Of that fruit

With God handed knife.


I am the life

Full of drought and flood 

Diet with some dirt fill pie.


I am the life

Fragrance of flowers

Handful bliss

With my wife.


I am the life

Still a fledging

But not now nice.


I am the life

Drink by water, breath by air, 

Ate up anything 

I am there.

I am the LIFE.


But somewhere in my mind and in my heart, I am not happy with these attempts at my favorite hobby... 😶

In 2005, when I was appointed to a central government service, I bought my first camera, a Konica 📷

amritography's 1st camera Konica Minolta Centuria EF20 


And so my journey began... 😃


Since then, I have owned a Sony Cybershot, and in 2013, I had my first breakthrough on Tillang Chaung Island during my 45-day tenure of duty. There, I met Shri Manoj Nair, IFS, who ignited my inner passion. As people say, magic can happen with magical people only. He combined my two different interests, taught me how to integrate my love for nature and photography. He introduced me to the birds of Tillang Chaung Island and so on to the world.


My first encounter with a bird was the Amur Stonechat, foraging on a young coconut tree.
