Save More


video
A rare sight in metros, absolutely fresh and inspiring.The video was captured from a mobile which cost below 10k INR somewhere in Rajasthan away from any of our cities. So true that photography, painting, shooting aren't exactly dependent on device used to capture but on the right moment.


Our cities which are probably as much hostiles to these birds as man in Aliens movie series. You must be lucky to be alive!. The video reminds me of these numerous sights we had in my village when I was kid. My grandmother and mother used to spread grains of wheat or bajra for pigeons, peacocks, sparrows etc on daily basis.


I feel like the save tiger campaign is given the kind of publicity which certainly makes it trendy but do not do justice to overall cause. The cause should be to educate current generation to invest and responsibly co-exist with other species. Birds in cities desperately need something of a massive campaign but seems that "Save More" will not sell on IBNs and NDTVs.

  1. Amazing, the only place I have seen a peacock is in zoo, our kids would probably see it only in Books ....... petty for such a beautiful creature

  2. Lovely things come in little packages - as we don't see anymore such splendours in metro cities which are increasingly becoming commercial centers only due to human greed.
    The message goes that there is enough space for all to coexist with peace.
