Fifty one years back, exactly on 6th March 1967 when i joined the house namely Garuda House, as a student in Sainik School Balachadi Jamnagar in the State of Gujarat, i saw the logo of my house “Eagle with a snake in the talon” on a painting on the walls of the ante room.
At that time who could have visualized that in the time to come i would be a nature and wildlife lover and would be the first person to shoot with camera , Crested serpent Eagle feeding on a Burmese Python, in the jungles of Dudhwa National Park, Uttar Pradesh, in December 2011.
In the year 2013 my son Bharat Goel who too is a wildlife photographer cum consultant shot Crested Serpent Eagle feeding on a python at Ranthambore Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan, another first time at the above park.
Later photograph at Dudhwa adorned the pages of the book namely “Winged Fire “ by Sh Valmik Thapar in 2016.
