Sahyadrica: Barefoot in Kurne
http://www.sahyadrica.com/2012/09/barefoot-in-kurne.html
Log of the Woods. Saturday, September 22, 2012. The morning carried a pleasant breeze from the sea, the scent of which is peculiar only to the Konkan region. The sun glanced through a fissure in an otherwise uniform grey cloak of nimbostratus covering the eastern sky. I found myself standing in front of piling fields of bowing rice heavy with raindrops. Sp - a Climbing Fern. We took a 4 km walk to the neighbouring village to receive a friend, who with his excellent eyesight scoured the roadside for an ab...

Sahyadrica: To be a Fish
http://www.sahyadrica.com/2013/04/to-be-fish.html
Log of the Woods. To be a Fish. Monday, April 29, 2013. Yet as much as anyone would like to step into the paws of a tiger, I’m sure not everyone would like to step into the shoes – or flippers – of a fish.

http://www.sahyadrica.com/2014/11/life-in-woods.html
Log of the Woods. Life in the Woods. Thursday, November 20, 2014. It is pitch dark outside as I sit and write this. The tree-line has dissolved into the empty space above, with only a few stars gleaming down upon the darkened earth. I am sitting by an incandescent light I switched on at the click of a button, and I plugged in my computer, turned on some music, and began to think. Sharad Purnima is celebrated on a full moon, also called Harvest Moon, and marks the beginning of the harvest season. Every mo...

Sahyadrica: The Legend of Sahyadri
http://www.sahyadrica.com/2014/07/the-legend-of-sahyadri.html
Log of the Woods. The Legend of Sahyadri. Thursday, July 10, 2014. The grassland around us was lit silver under the moon light. Darkness prevailed as the moon waned behind Telbaila. The dark sky was ornamented with numerous stars, with an occasional streak of crashing meteor blazing the eastern horizon. Moon setting over Telbaila, a giant blade-thin geographic feature of Sahyadri. Telbaila and the surrounding grasslands under the early sun. As the light took over the shadows, warmth took over the chill.
