I have a question for any one of you... If 'Fear' can distract you from accomplishing your goals... if 'Lethargy' can keep you from your dreams... and if 'Closed mindedness' can stop you from growing... what is it that you need to be the exact opposite? Does anyone have an answer? #exploresrilanka #srilanka #lanka #life #hillcountry #hills #holiday #nuwaraeliya #mountains #bird #trees #nature #naturelover #solitude #fear #lethargy

A simple piece of advice, from me, on how to keep a genuine smile on your face (••,).. Learn to see past the choices you don't understand. Life will become less of a struggle if you stop struggling. Dealing with simple or trivial problems in a clear and decisive manner will leave your mental energy available for when it is really needed. On a different note.. I know these Elephants are gentle, I know they are fed and given shelter, but they were never meant to be in captivity. Perhaps the world should ban owning elephants, but who am I to say. I wouldn't even know if they would survive in the wild. #srilanka #exploresrilanka #elephant #wild #captive #animal #giant #eliphas #bentota #mahout #life #faces #people #problems #advice #problemmanagement #emotion #control #organize

We think "If not us then who, If not now then when." & we give, it makes us smile for a moment. Yet, at times, one of their their smiles will remain far more fulfilling & satisfying than all of ours may have ever been. Similarly, one moment of their pain may be a lifetime of ours. We are spoilt in a way. #people #faces #smile #smiles #poverty #giving #color #red #visage #faces #portraits #india #exploreindia #varanasi #indian #poor #happiness #family #sharing #friendly #travel #holiday #vacation #trip #culture #village #family #pain #happiness #children #streetphotography

If there is one thing I've learnt, it is that time has never waited for me. It's more rewarding to follow all that I love rather than follow the artificial structures I find in this world.

It's been a long long long couple of months. Tired and suffering from major burnout. Nevertheless, everyone is getting ready for the New Year Celebrations! To everyone around the world celebrating April 13/14th. (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia and some parts of China) This is what is sometimes called the new year. The change of planetary positions. It is the beginning of Spring :-) Although the climate is quite freaky these days.. #exploresrilanka #newyear #srilanka #holiday #india #thailand #waterfestival #songkran #nepal #baisakh #cambodia #burma #china #laos #pimailao

I'm in desperate need of time outside of this city. I need to drive far, listen to my music, stop at some beach, stay in the water all day long, eat by a fire on the beach, listen to the ocean & fall asleep on a hamock. Then come back to the city. Something like a reset. #exploresrilanka #srilanka #sunset #orange #lanka #beach #beautifulsky #beautiful #ahungalla #downsouth #silhouette #drive #workinglate #holiday #vacation

One of the many waterfalls on the way to Nuwara Eliya, in the Hill Country of Sri Lanka. If you wish, you can go off the main road and hike up to the foot of these waterfalls. Mostly full of feesh water pools, nice enough for a ciol dip. If you don't mind the little fish :-D There is so little clear, pure drinkable water on earth. These places are full of absolute beauty. #exploresrilanka #srilanka #nuwaraeliya #hillcountry #hatton #maskeliya #lanka #nature #green #trees #warerfall #warerfalls #devon #pani #hike #walks #swim

"Wouldn't it have been awesome if tigers were vegetarian?" © There are 6 types of tigers. Tigers can't purr, instead to show happiness they squint their eyes (^^,) They love water. Tigers may come in the various colors white, gold & black, but the blue tiger (Maltese greyish blue) has only been spotted & apparently not photographed. There are only about 3500 wild tigers left. They see in full color like humans. Tigers crossbreed with lions & leopards, called tiglons, ligers & something else.. lol. Herculese is the largest liger, 12ft long (Thats 1 floor of a building) & 410Kg (900lbs) heavy in 2005 (age 3). Tigers don't usually roar unless they need to chat to a distant tiger, so they mostly hiss. When with a crowd, the males always wait till the females and babies finish eating. Their brains are second largest in carnivores. Their short term memory is 30 times larger than humans. Their stripes are unique like our fingerprints & go deep as their skin. They can grow to 3.5m long and 300Kg in weight (660lbs). They don't have cat's eyes, instead round like humans. Tigers can imitate the call of some animals (eg. bears). Front teeth are 4 inches long. Can jump 6m high and 5m long. A paw punch can crush a bear skull or spine (They tend to eat a lot of bears). They are hunted for stupid reasons, as they are not high value medicinally. Watch this if you're bored. http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=JE8Z5Es-M0E #srilanka #srilankan #lanka #exploresrilanka #zoo #tiger #dehiwela #colombo #zoological #animals #animal #cat #captive #hope #newzooplan #openzoo #freeroamingzoo #poaching #antipoaching #hunting

Elephants roaming the streets of Sri Lanka. I am absolutely against the private ownership of elephants. I encourage tourism and close encounters, but not false pretenses by animal owners to obtain money by allowing close proximity to an animal that was meant to be free. Yes the money goes to feeding the animal, but it's not a free animal. It lives day and night in chains. If you want to feed the elephant though, I am all for it. They love sugarcane, pineapple, banana, papaya and other sweet tropical fruits. #srilanka #exploresrilanka #lanka #lankan #srilankan #katharagama #south #elephant #elephants #animal #animals #giants #gentlegiant #largeanimals
