(a) packed my bag, took the train and boarded the over crowed bus from Bhubaneswar.
I arrived sometime before 4.00 a.m. 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; 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 un-
mistakable voice of the Tiger just outside my door. 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 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.
