Nagzira

posted on January 15, 2015

Ten days away from the city.
No internet.
Phone connectivity for about an hour a day.

Eleven safaris into the beautiful jungle.

Three leopards.

A leopard making a kill: whose side are you on? The leopard’s or the fawn’s?

Wild dogs in the distance.

A herd of bison.

Flycatchers, thrushes, drongos, night-jars, parakeets, hoopoes.

A ride in an open gypsy through the forest at night.

Starry skies that I remember from my childhood.

Nagzira.
