The Curse of the Sickle

 

2
Forest dwellers are nature’s children and one expects them to be happy and hardy. This alas is not always the case. One prime example are the Soligas of BR Hills in southern Karnataka. Their traditions and life-style that should ensure their sound health also contribute to the prevalence of a deadly disorder known as sickle cell anaemia.The prime causative factor of the prevalence of this disorder is the tribals strong tendency to marry within the tribe. In this brief study, young researcher and photojournalist Shravan Regret Iyer gathers information about other factors that cause the disease. The result is a sneak peak into the Soligas’ life-style, beliefs, traditions, and customs. The book also sketches the pressure exerted on the tribals’ way of life by officialdom and the role of NGOs in striking a balance between their age-old way of life and succour that modern medicine can offer.

 

Natural Quest

The natural world is full of extraordinary animals with amazing life histories. Yet, certain stories are more intriguing and heartbreaking than most. The mysteries of a frog’s life cycle, or the strange biology of the firefly. Some of these creatures were surrounded with myths for very long time and some have only recently revealed their secrets. These are the animals that stand out from the crowd. The stories I find most fascinating and terrifying of all.

Regret Iyer Productions proudly invites you to its most ambitious project yet. An epic adventure in the wilds of America!
Through Shravan Regret Iyer’s eyes and eloquence this project takes you on a visual journey from exploring underground network of caves that can only be accessed by boat, to a journey on the world’s first mountain-climbing cog railway. It is a journey of more than 10,000 miles (explored over a period of last one-and-a-half-years and still ongoing as part of 3lenses series) from flying over the borders of Canada on a charter jet for fall foliage to the far southern portion of the East coast where fairy tale creatures dwell.
Experience the stories of people and their rich culture and traditions, and a closer look at the species and places.
Experience the East coast like never before, starting this December.

The national park, which spreads across 47, 000-acre in the Atlantic coast and reserves much of Mount Desert Island and associated smaller islands along the coast. Each year more than 3.3 million nature explorers’ visit this national park that offers a magnificent landscape filled with woodland, rocky beaches and glacier-scoured granite peaks of Cadillac Mountain.

In the following weeks, we will be exploring this natural wonder up-close and hiking through the Cadillac Mountains, sand beach and more.

A scene from Disney’s Moana? Truly a wonderful world!
There are about 19 islands around Acadia National Park in Maine. However only five of them (Mount Desert Island, Isle summer Haut, Bar island, Baker island and little Cranberry island) have public access.
Most of the islands are nesting ground for birds and can only be observed by boat or from air.
I had an opportunity to photograph this natural wonder in the peak of fall foliage from a chartered plane.
Join me @shravanregretiyer and experience the East coast like never before.
