IN PRAISE OF MANGOES

EVERY SUMMER, THERE'S a magical moment when mangoes make their entrance. Their aroma lingers in the air, thick with sweetness and sun. Outside, the koel sings, the heat settles in, and you know—it's mango season. This is the reason I wait for summer: to taste nostalgia, one slice at a time.

JUNGLE LEGENDS

THIS IS NO TIGER STORY. Every tourist who ventures into a tiger reserve is obsessed with spotting the big cat. But only a few are equally curious about birdlife or the lesser-known mysteries of the forest. In our quest to tick off charismatic, endemic, or rare species, we often miss what the wild truly has to offer—its hidden secrets. As a forest guard once told me, “There are layers to every jungle. The deeper you go, the more they open up.” He was right.

WILDLIFE'S BLIND SPOTS

IN INDIA, ICONS MATTER. THIS IS BOTH AN advantage and a disadvantage. During my two tenures as Director of Wildlife Preservation of India in the 1970s and 1980s, I leveraged the charisma of the tiger and the snow leopard to protect their diverse habitats and all other wildlife within them, under the projects named after these species. Other iconic and endangered species—the gharial, Gangetic dolphin, blackbuck, Nilgiri tahr, lesser florican, great Indian bustard, Tibetan gazelle, and others—were also used to establish specific protected areas.
