By mistake I managed to wake up early, and then acted on a sudden brilliant idea to go to Hebbal Lake to catch the sunrise.
This beauty was basking in the morning light, and I managed to take the picture without any disturbance. I thought parthenium was a completely useless weed, but looks like its actually providing breakfast for this fellow.

Usually in the West we see everyone forming a disciplined queue, whereas in India even for a plate of idli in a self-serviced cafe, its not unusual to find people crowding around the counter, elbowing each other out as if there was some impending famine and its some urgent fight for survival for the last…
