Cesar's Palace, From Las Vegas. Back in Vegas we purchased tickets for the Zumanity show by Cirque de Solil and spent some time at New York New York, eating and gambling. Zumanity show was stunning and sensual display of acrobatics. We watched without closing eye lids. When we came out it was close to midnight and time for some grub then again to gamble! By this time I had brought a card explaining how to play Black Jack which certainly helped to learn the tricks of the trade :). Links to this post.

Pigeon sized with creamish belly. Looks like crow has a longer tail and red eyes. beak is smaller. It starts...

Other interesting sections are on Japanese paintings, evolution of Chinese tea pots, Egyptian figures and many more. Links to this post. It was an...

Birding at Karanji Kere. I reached Mysore around 9:30 AM courtesy my laziness and then went to Zoo. I was under the wrong impression that entrance to Kranji Kere was through the zoo, worse I checked that only after getting into the zoo. I should have done better research.

Wanted to blog about the trip for a long time. Never managed to do so and its almost 6 months now. It was another event full trip with the duo Prem and Som . Visited Muthunga, Soochipara falls, Edakkal caves and Kuruva islands. It took nearly an hour and lot of adjustments to take this snap without flash in the moon light. Food at the home stay was simple and tasty. Taught the cook how to make pea-nut masala. Biggest disappointment was the wildlife safari. We had asked Jeep guy to come at 6:00 clock ...

We ended city tour with Birl Planetarium and laser show at Lumbini Park. 2 km ahead of the fort entrance, complex houses tombs of Sulthan, Queen and their commanders. There is also a archealogical museum inside the complex. It takes half an hour for a guided tour and asking price was 350 and after little bargain we brought it down to 200. May be higher price would mean a longer to with more historical information. Supposed to be the star attraction of Hyderabad we skipped it and had a look from far away.

Kaziranga - Abode of Great Single Horned Rhino. And Bar Headed Geese. Its migratory bird and flies so high at which petrol cant catch fire to the scarcity of oxygen). Overall it was a great experience. Kaziranga is 5 hours from Guwahati. Plenty of transport options available from Guwahati. Kingfisher operates daily flights to Guawahati to from Bangalore. One can get into the park between 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on a jeep. Kaziranga has three regions. Guwahati is a good place to buy wooden carved rhinos in dif...
