Capture of a rare picture of monkey sleeping on tree with full balance

Once in 2013, I visited Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves in Bhubaneswar. Just near the first cave, a monkey was sleeping on a nearby tree branches oblivion of the tourists’ hustle and bustle. I had never seen such a beautiful site in my life. It was a wonderful and rare occasion. I was awe struck by the opportunity offered by nature. It clearly looked like a human in deep sleep on a reclining sofa. I immediately captured the moment through my camera. The best part was the balance the monkey was maintaining under the branches of the tree while in slumber. For a moment I felt jealous of the monkey for his soul-soothing comfort under the shadow of leaves with cool breeze. Nothing is more precious than this. Nature! Oh lovely nature! Your grandeur, in any shape, size and situation, is incomparable.

I am used to sharing posts on Google Map the moment I visit some places and if I feel something useful for larger mass i.e. for the benefit of all. Naturally Google Map is the first choice since it the most sought after search engine all over the world. I feel great when somebody sitting far away asks questions and I reply to their satisfaction. This is a pure holistic pleasure.
