Activities:
I am outdoorsy. My hobbies include hiking, camping and traveling in general. Music is my all time favorite mean of relaxation.
I am a nature lover and an ardent wild life fan. I love wild life photography, reading books and watching movies/documentaries involving wild life. Listed below is the information about some of the most beautiful jungles on the earth and its amazing habitants. As you can see the topic of fascination for me has been the man eaters from the family of big-cat...what are they, why are they and how they become.
The books I have read and would certainly recommend:
- Man-Eaters of Kumaon by Jim Corbett (ISBN: 0195622553)
- The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag by Jim Corbett (ISBN: 0195622561)
