Tindan Wala Khoo (Persian Wheel Well) or Rehet still working (Punjab)

Image
Here is a picture of Tindan Wala Khoo ( Persian Wheel well ) in working condition. Before the advent of electricity and diesel water pumps, it was common to see these wells across Punjab and in other parts of India. Today, it is very difficult to find a Tindan Wala Well in working condition. In Hindi, Tindan Wala Khoo is called Rehet . I saw such well before too, but that one was not in working condition. Rehets  were mostly operated by animals; though, the Rahet which you see in the picture is made to be run by hands. I took this picture near Ropar Town of Punjab.

Here is a picture of Samber (Female) deer , which I took during my recent visit to a Kandi Forest area near Ropar town in Punjab. We can commonly see Samber deer in this forest. This was my first encounter with Samber deer in the forest. It is very enjoyable to see these animals in wild and open; then to see them in the zoo. I hope that we will learn to keep them in the wild then keeping them in zoos. Samber (Female) Deer

Here is a picture of one of my favorite birds from Himachal Pradesh i.e.   Yellow (Gold ) -billed Magpie . In general, we find these birds in groups and they create lots of noise. It is not easy to capture pictures of this bird because of its shy nature. It took me months to get some good pictures of Gold-billed Magpie . It is a medium-sized beautiful bird with a combination of Blue, yellow, white, and black colors. The yellow-billed  magpie is a long-tail Himalayan bird .

Tears of the Hippopotamus (A Sad picture of a hippopotamus weeping at the Chattbir Zoo)

Image
Here is a sad picture showing a hippopotamus weeping in his cage at  chattbir zoo . Zoos may provide a great option to see the animals; however, by putting them in cages we steal all freedoms from them. We talk too much about the human freedom but we don't care for freedom of animals and their happiness. Like this hippopotamus , there may be many animals crying across the world for their freedom and a better life, but sadly there is no one who can see their tears and provide them justice. If human greed is not stopped; then soon, it will destroy all animals from this present and then we will not have anyone except humans on this Planet. We should return all healthy animals to their natural habitat so that they can enjoy a good life. It is sad that we humans are one of the main reasons of these tears of hippopotamus .
