The Waghdoh Male: The largest male tiger in India

By Prasad Np

We clicked her at a short distance while she oblivious to the attention she was getting continued with her innocent play. Then we heard some grunts form the bushes behind her and the cub vanished behind them, probably her mother was hiding in the bushes and called her back. Next visit we saw the mother and cubs again from a short distance and the cub entered the waters to cool down in the April heat while the mother lurked from the bushes behind her.

All this while I was longing to see the ruler of this kingdom, the Wagdoh male who is considered the largest male tiger in India. Though I wonder who would have dared to go and measure his size or of other tigers to compare them ? When I enquired with Mangesh our guide for all the safaris, if we will get a chance to see the Wagdhoh male he simply said, “Sir, he is the king of this jungle he holds durbar only once in a week, so you can see him only if he wants you to see him”. On further query we learned that the elusive king was last seen almost 8 days ago, so we had a good chance to see him.

Crumbling Shekhawati: Ramgarh and Mehansar

By Uday Baxi

He was accurate in his calculations. But, did he calculate the value of a heritage that was lost forever? Imagine a Shekhawati after another 50 years. Will it then be able to be termed as “Open Art gallery”?

हिमाचल का अनमोल रत्न ‘त्रिउण्ड’ : आकर्षक पर्वतारोहण क्षेत्र

By MUNESH MISHRA

जिस प्रकार स्वादिष्ट व्यंजनों की चर्चा भूखे व्यक्ति की भूख को ओर अधिक बढ़ा देती है उसी प्रकार त्रिउण्ड के प्राकृतिक सौंदर्य की चर्चा ने घुमक्कड़ों की लालसा को भी बढ़ा दिया होगा. जिन्होंने त्रिउण्ड की घुमक्कड़ी नहीं की है उनके मन में अवश्य ही ये प्रश्न उठ रहे होंगे कि त्रिउण्ड कैसे पहुंचा जाए,

Digha Beach – An old boys’ weekend trip to the Brighton of the East

By SANTANU

There were no local photographer, no hawker, nobody else. Only some fishermen were pulling their boat from the sea into the beach, after completing their fishing trip. Once they departed, we became absolutely alone. So we decided not to wait for tourists, but to start taking bath. It was a repeat show of yesterday with childish enjoyment.

Cherishing Shekhawati Cuisine: Food Tour

By Uday Baxi

The all-India favourite dish called “पानीपूरी” (a flatbread filled with water) was also prevalent in Shekhawati. It has retained its charm over the masses because of its tangy taste and mouth-watering recipe. Many a times, this street food had to face the wrath of the puritans
