Interests
[edit]Though I registered with Wikipedia sometime in 2006, my first contribution to Wikipedia was on 04 December 2007. My main motivation has been the very mission of Wikimedia itself.
I am an ardent trekker, bird watcher and amateur astronomer. I intend to contribute to Wikipedia to its articles related to hiking spots, Indian birds and astronomy. I travel a lot. I intend to contribute to as many articles as possible on Indian Cities/Villages.
Picture of the day
[edit]John Tarleton (8 November 1811 – 25 September 1880) was a Royal Navy officer who went on to be Second Naval Lord. He was given command of the fifth-rate HMS Fox in 1852, of the frigate HMS Eurydice in 1855 and of the frigate HMS Euryalus in 1858: he led the latter ship as an element of the Channel Squadron and then of the Mediterranean Squadron. Tarleton served as Junior Naval Lord from 1871 and then as Second Naval Lord from 1872 to 1874. He was promoted to Vice Admiral in 1875 and retired in 1879. He is seen here in an 1860 photograph by John Jabez Edwin Mayall.Photograph credit: John Jabez Edwin Mayall; restored by User:Adam Cuerden
