Leopard Trapped and Rescue - Video

This is a video of about 10 minutes duration on a real incident of a leopard being trapped in a noose and how the forest department tried to rescue it. This incident occurred in a Himalayan village in Uttarakhand State of INDIA, where incidences of man-animal conflict and poaching are very common. Why I am posting this video is for everybody to try to understand the emotions of the leopard, its state of mind, what it is trying to tell and what we are assuming about its feelings. And why man is so cruel? Is it the work of God or Devil or something predestined? Or is it something that is completely under our control? Comments appreciated. Sorry for the poor quality in full screen as it is an old video before better compact cameras were available.

Aadi Kailash - The peak of Realisation

This is the mountain at the base of which I learnt what I am and what the world is. Aadi Kailash is a peak in Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand, INDIA in the Himalayas. At 6191 m altitude above mean sea level, this range divides the Dhauliganga and Kuti Yangte river watersheds. The best view of this peak is available from a place called Jolingkong, an alpine meadow at 4200m. To reach this place, one has to walk for 7 days from the last motor road head. Standing at the base of this huge mountain makes you realise that you are not even an ant in front of this massif.
