About the Book :
“You can take a man out of the
Jungle, but if he is born to it – you cannot take the Jungle out of a man”.

Jungle Odyssey is a soldier’s ‘Shikar’ biography.
Glimpses of experiences with his father the ‘Deva-Pitta’ of these stories
perhaps are the defining events that qualify him as a “Jungle Salt”. Soldering
closely enabled him to retain his lifelong interest in Wildlife – the fauna –
flora of our vast subcontinental size country.
It has been a fulsome life that exposed him to the
Jungle lore and the beauty of its jungle and wildlife.

Life in India has changed beyond recognition in the last seventy years, and I am making an effort at preserving the memory of a lost past for my grandchildren and their yet to come progeny, to relive some of the jungle stories and memories.
