Tiger Trackers
New Mystery Male, Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, February 2014 :

Although we do keep sighting the same Tigers in the wild over & over again, we seldom get tired of an audience with them. There are times when we yearn seeing a new, hitherto unknown, undocumented Tiger. Little did we know that our wish would be granted on an evening drive to the Magadhi zone of Bandhavgarh last month.

Camera, Sound, Light, Action...this is exactly how our safari was scripted this day. A perfect dream safari, sighting 2 huge male Tigers at different times in different parts of Mukki zone, and both head on. At the end of the safari the feeling was a 1000 times better than watching an Oscar winning film. Yet again the credit goes to Naren Malik for his super anticipation during safaris. See his innocent eyes on full screen. — at Chitvan Jungle Lodge, Kanha National Park, India.

A Huge huge male Tiger bluffing away Priyanka Gandhi and other VVIP tourists

As we saw the tiger from far across the river he was trying to avoid all sort of human watching since 2 days and here Priyanka Gandhi decided to go on the ele to track him with his girl paaro but these two were so smart that paaro went ahead and disappeared in the ele grass confusing them all and the male remained like this in the same pose for some mins watching them as if playing hide and seek (actually as not seen in the pic it is not a flat ground ,the tourists are above on a small elevation and the tiger is watching them without getting seen down the slope ) and they actually returned disappointed ,they did not spot the tiger look where they were looking in the pic ... but all on the other side many of us got lucky

He is massive, big, and powerful and strongly believes in killing bigger prey; Gaur (Indian bison) tops the list in his food menu. He believes in “Conquer and Rule”, he covers a very large territory of the Bandipur forests; there is no doubt he is dominant and a killing machine and believes in knocking out his enemy without any mercy. Last month he had a territorial fight with another huge male tiger; he fought and brought down the tiger to death within few hours. He is none other than our Prince of Bandipur, son of King Agastya who once ruled the jungles of Bandipur…

Having followed him for several years now, in the year 2010, I named him “Prince of Bandipur”, today he is referred by this name not just in India but many around the world refer to this Tiger as Prince…

Unity | The Window of Oneness

In a world thats lost all respect for nature and the unity it brings,
we stare at life through a cracked window. Some will find a way to
slide through, those who are not afraid to feel inconsequential in the
bigger picture, and most others will choose to remain in a bubble that
floats with the winds of todays twisted nothingness.

Out here where i reside, i often find a little window in the woods
where the cracks have been mended and the winds carry a stronger sense
of oneness than anywhere else.

Like an old friend in the forest once told me, "a robber is more
likely to steal from two children rather than a single well built man.
In the jungle, if a wolf sees two little boys playing on one side and
a large man on the other, he will attack the one that stands alone.
Unity in itself is a beast” and the power of oneness is what i speak
off."

On a warm summer evening, a flame in the meadows sparked a fire. The
setting sun threw light on a tigress as she basked amidst the dead
bamboo. She was soon followed by her two cubs and together they
frolicked around before cooling off in the backwaters. What soon
followed was the most fascinating wildlife moment iv ever witnessed. A
huge male tiger joined the family and the interaction between all four
was both breathtaking and heartwarming. The two cubs ran to their
father and greeted him with immense love while the mother stood on the
banks and proudly stared at the family they’ve created. Together,
against all odds, they’ve raised two cubs to adulthood in a world
where their kind is quickly vanishing.

Watching family of four tigers interact through a little opening in
the lantana, my little window, was one of the most powerful
experiences. One that taught me the importance of unity and
togetherness, without which we will all perish.
