How many of us have really chucked good jobs and the cushioned comfort of our lives to brave the wild in search of our passion? Not many, I reckon. But here’s one, whom I am going to talk about in this blog post.

Kalyan Varma. Bangalorean. He calls himself Wildlife Photographer and Naturalist. Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2005. And that too on debut.

The award winning picture?

Description: Worker Ants attacking the Queen Ant.

Next target? BBC Wildlife Photography Award.

Please do read the “About Kalyan Varma” page to know more about him.

It is people like these that make Bangalore special. And not only this, it makes each and everyone of us sit up and take note of the passions of our life and to ponder if we are doing anything about it.

Kudos to you, Kalyan. And best of luck for your attempt at BBC Wildlife Photography Competition. The whole of Bangalore is with you.
