I was just sitting outside with the mosquitoes, smoking, listening to Corbett, and wishing I lived in a big game area With tigers and leopards in the dark jungle around. But not man-eaters! If that is possible.I have a building behind my house, that looks a bit like an Indian Hill station bungalow.:)

Lovely those leopards. Simply spectacular.

The tiger in the crop field. Has flattened a sizable sleeping area. Perhaps a good hunting area for crop raiding deer and antelope. But a danger for farmers, workers and villagers. Not something to stumble upon.

The good and the bad of living with dangerous wildlife. Often mostly not good for locals. But IMO an existence, for a hunter far more interesting than living aswecdin our sterile saccharine modern lives. Adventure!

That would be a surprise if opening ones door!

I'm looking forward to my Corbett Pigrimage in less than a year. Started doing serious research plus re-reading and listening.

How cool will it be to isten to Corbett smoking outside my bungalow,in actual Corbett country!
