I packed my bag, took the train and boarded the overcrowded bus from
Bhubaneswar. I arrived sometime before 4.00 am wondering where to go in that
semidarkness. To my utter surprise, within a minute there was the click of boots
and a voice welcoming me to Khairi-Jashipur. The Forest Guard, detailed to
escort me, took me to the guest house, put me in my room, assured that water
was in the jug; I could sleep as long as I wanted and Saab would see me as soon
as I was ready
I think I had an hour of blissful sleep. I woke up with a start when I heard
the unmistakable voice of the Tiger just outside my deor. I was terror-struck.
Within minutes, a bearer came to the room with hot tea and biscuits. He smiled
at the expression on my face and assured me that it was only Khairi outside the
door, making friendly enquiries about the new guest in the house. I finished my
tea, had a quick shower and went to the main house.
Saroj Raj Chaudhury was sitting on a large chair. There was a sloth bear
behind him, holding on to his waist and making gurgling sounds. He said, "Get
down, Jambu, get down" and rose to greet me - a frail man in his fifties, slightly
balding on the top. We got talking. I didn't find a gruff and rough no-nonsense
man. What I found was one of the most humane human beings I had ever met
in my life
