. Bagh Tola Jungle Lodge, Bandhavgarh National Park, April 27, 2025 8 pm Dear Kids, It is here Saturday night at the Bagh Tola Jungle Lodge. With Venus across me, Jupiter above me and Mars behind me, all of which I see with my naked eye, all so close I can leap and touch them; I am in the most virgin of deciduous evergreen forests. With the clearest and freshest of skies. Amidst Sal and Mahua trees. And the Bamboo. In the land of the Tiger. And the elephant... Hearing an alarm call of the Sambar. Spotting fresh pug marks. Oh the rush of it all. And seeing the 1OC AD Sheshshaiya trinity of the lying Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma. And the Sindoor tree. The beautiful Tara, Bajrang, D1, the Chakradhara cubs. And the mighty wild elephant. Coloured with splashes of birds and butterflies. Oh just to be in the jungle. The most carnal, exhilarating, liberating, grounding and spiritual feeling. I dream in the Jungle As we know you will too. Love, Mama and Daddy . An ode to the Indian Jungle and the Bandhavgarh National Park. And the humble Indian postcard.
