Galli Cricket

Galli cricket or Street cricket is a stripped-down version of the sport of Cricket. It is usually played in narrow by-lanes, streets, parking lots, parks etc.




It is amazing that size of the park does not hamper the game at all. Eight different cricket matches were being played simultaneously in this small park.  

The players take their cricket very seriously.

Stones kept on the ground serve as stumps.

The players wait for their turn when the park is full.

For the uninitiated, Cricket is a team sport played with a leather ball and flat bat. You can find more information about the sport here.

Meadow Argus Butterfly

The eyespots on the wings are a defense mechanism that are not only used to frighten predators away, but also to confuse the predators into thinking that the eyespots are the target, allowing the butterfly to escape with only a small part of the wing being lost.
