When I joined the National Brain Research Centre in Manesar, Haryana to pursue research in neuroscience in November 2010, I arrived at a sprawling campus located at the foothills of the Aravalli range of mountains and surrounded by jungle. The campus itself was extremely well populated with different kinds of trees.

Over the years I recognized and appreciated the rich biodiversity at NBRC and developed a particular interest in the birds on campus, discovering various birding trails, identifying bird calls and taking photographs of over 100 species of birds!
