Interests[edit]
Though I registered with Wikipedia sometime in 2006, my first contribution to Wikipedia was on 04 December 2007. My main motivation has been the very mission of Wikimedia itself.
I am an ardent trekker, bird watcher and amateur astronomer. I intend to contribute to Wikipedia to its articles related to hiking spots, Indian birds and astronomy. I travel a lot. I intend to contribute to as many articles as possible on Indian Cities/Villages.
Picture of the day[edit]
The plains-wanderer (Pedionomus torquatus) is a bird in the family Pedionomidae, of which it is the only surviving species. Endemic to Australia, its historical range included Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and the Northern Territory, but in recent years it has become endangered, with remaining known populations concentrated in the Riverina (a region in southwestern New South Wales) and western Queensland. The plains-wanderer is a quail-like ground bird, measuring 15 to 19 centimetres (5.9 to 7.5 in). The adult male is light brown above, with fawn-white underparts with black crescents. The adult female is substantially larger than the male and has a distinctive white-spotted black collar. This female plains-wanderer was photographed in the Riverina, north of the town of Deniliquin, New South Wales.Photograph credit: John Harrison
