Hi, I'm Shahzad Siddiqui!

The storied forests of Central India, the birthplace of Rudyard Kipling's 'Jungle Book' are magical. In the heart of Madhya Pradesh (Central India), on crisp winter mornings, the jungles of Kanha National Park come alive in a breathtaking display of nature's wonders. The soft, ethereal fog blankets the forest floor, curling around the towering Sal trees. As the sun rises, its golden rays pierce through the mist, creating a magical dance of light and shadow across the dense canopy. The air is filled with the rich, earthy scent of dewed foliage and damp soil. Amidst this tranquil beauty, the park stirs with life—Chital (Deer) graze quietly in the distance, Jackals and Foxes rustle in the underbrush, and the occasional distant roar of a Tiger echoes, adding a sense of mystery to the scene. Raptors and other birds call from the treetops, their songs punctuating the stillness, while the jungle, in its winter serenity, feels both ancient and alive, full of secrets waiting to be discovered.

"The last stars will die out 120 trillion years from now followed by 10^106 years of just black holes. Condensed, that's like the universe starting with 1 second of stars and then a billion billion billion billion billion billion billion years of just black holes. Stars are basically the immediate after-effects of the Big Bang. A one-second sizzle of brightness before settling into an essentially endless era of darkness. We live in that one bright second" - Unknown
