Pankaj ji, it is great that you are such an expert on orchids, know Himalayan plants so well, know much about plants from other parts of India as compared to many of us (at least me) and to top it all you know a lot about birds also.

Thanks a lot for your good words sir.
But, I cant compare myself with you and your experience and expertise.
I wish to learn more and more. But I know many times my identification
has been proved wrong too :), but I learn...
I never knew about anything other than plants but when I came here to
WII, met so many people from other background, I got interested in
birds, amphibians and snakes. Among birds I am very much fond of
parrots and parakeets.
Thanks again for your compliments.
Regards
Pankaj
