The first Game drive. We were driving from the bamboo forest fully bathed in caterpillar poop, tracing tiger pug marks in hope to see one...our guide was told that a female Tigress was seen crossing from this area one day before. We were fully geared up to follow the pug mark, waiting for deer or Langur alarming calls and waiting for an hour or two…...                                             It was the post monsoon season, I still remember that year monsoon came too late. In India monsoon will knock your door in June but that year it came in July end, in Maharashtra's Vidarbha region. Vidarbha region is famous for two things...hot summer and TIGERS. Vidharb is surrounded by forest areas covering Chimur hills, Moharli and Kolsa Range, and dense forest from north to west. It is a southern tropical dry deciduous forest with Bamboo and Teak dominated trees and Tigers as top Carnivore. Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve(TATR) is the First National Park of Maharashtra.

Drop of Life   Smell the dirt, Feel the earth. A new life is rising, With a drop of water. Shades of green, Like a shade of joy. Just sit silently, And listen to the whistling boy. Slow breeze hugging you tightly, Foggy mountains saying politely. Its monsoon dear, Enjoy your childhood here.                                        Monsoon, a season of feelings… a season to feel fresh.

Well I guess worms and snakes are some of the biggest reasons people are afraid of the monsoon.

A FEELING FOREST We always bring a tiny sapling for our backyard or garden, plant them, care for them, provide them water timely and manure just to  assure that they are getting proper nutrition and sunlight. But even after taking so much of care and  giving them protection they die sometimes and we just wonder what I did wrong. But have you ever wondered why even though no body is taking care of plants in forest how they manage to grow so thick, tall and healthy?? It's not like that someone sneak into the forest give them manure, water, prune them, remove weeds and everything. What we see in a Forest is 100% Natural. Forest is a place where you will see each and everything perfectly balanced and from there we get this message that nature don't need our help....it just need SPACE. leave a bare land as it is and you can see what wonders it will do. We know that plant not just grow above the ground but below too "THE LONGER THE TREE THE DEEPER THE ROOTS".     We know wh
