For daily bread and butter's sake I'm an IT professional.

 

"रंगुनी रंगात साऱ्या रंग माझा वेगळा!

गुंतुनी गुंत्यात साऱ्या पाय माझा मोकळा!"

म्हणजेच... आगळीच दुनिया आहे माझी...माझी भटकी टोळी (जगाच्या झगमगाटापासुन दूर, आपली वाट शोधणारी भटकी टोळी...), त्यातले मित्र, सह्याद्रीचा रानवारा अनि माझा camera मिळून एक रसायन बनलय...त्याचे नाव आहे: पंकज

Absolute भटक्या.......

 

कायम सह्याद्रीच्या कुशीत भटकंती...माज आणि मस्ती जिरवायला...

आतापर्यंत 30,000 किलोमीटरची मोटरसायकलवर सह्यभ्रमंती, जवळपास 55 ट्रेक्स, 45 किल्ले (काही किल्ले अनेकदा).

 

means... Even being lost in the crowd I'm still different and free from all chaos of the world. I have my different world of myself, my wanderers friends, gusty Sahyadri winds, and my camera... a different chemistry altogether.

 

Travel, Travel and Travel. Shoot, Shoot and Shoot. Love to travel a lot and do photography. I am always ready for an extra efforts good photographs. I do maintain a photo-travel blog.

 

I have learn a lot after I joined my active photography group Photographers@Pune. I do praise few my photographers friends for their specialties. Suhas, Soumitra, G-Kiran, Swati, Dolly, Deepak, OW, Amit, Chaitanya, Dhruva are few streams, I regularly follow to learn. Each has its own specialty.

 

The place which I love the most is Raigad. I have never seen more beautiful sunset than that from Raigad. I do regular trips to Raigad like pilgrimage.

 

Biking I have done few thounds kilometers of journey on bikes and always love to go on bike trails, test myself to the extremities, take calculated risks, do adventure stuff more often. I do get bored in city life.
