Cormorants at Puttenahalli Puttakere

Why Lakeika?

I have two roles – a Lake conservationist and writer, Lekhika in Hindi. Between these two passions, writing always takes the backseat because the lake is a demanding infant who needs prompt, immediate attention. As if to compensate, this website gives more information about my books and writing. I would love to hear from you.

Thanks to BBMP for taking over the lake maintenance from us! I now have the time to tell the Puttenahalli Lake story!
