Garima has been a great person to go birding with. I’ve learnt a LOT from her…she’s very knowledgeable, but she never talks down to anyone who knows less than she does.

There are other reasons why I love going birding with Garima…those reasons are usually baked by her the previous day, and melt in our mouths…muffins, chocolate cake…and so on…!

And ..she doesn’t talk about the fact that she practically set up the Asha For Education chapter in St.Louis, Missouri, when she lived there, and made it an active forum to raise funds from the Indian diaspora, to educate poor children in India.

She’s also a very good photographer…as you can see from her blog.

Altogether…a great birding companion to have, and when Garima emails asking if I want to go with her, I …jump at the offer!
