Ace photographer Suresh Narayanan8217;s lens captures memorable moments of nature in an exhibition at the St. Thomas Public School, Khadki. The exhibition is on just for a day 8211; January 26. 8220;It is meant for children, so that they appreciate the beauty of nature,8221; says Narayanan, whose 50 frames dwell on the trees, insects, birds and animals more often than on the homo sapiens. For people with a yen for photography, this is one exhibition not to be missed.

Back to school, and ahead, too.
