Thanks for the comments.
Mr.Patra, this was at the end of March this year. I, personally would not blame the driver, because he is one of the oldest and experienced drivers in Bandhavgarh and he advanced just about 2-3 feet. It was a totally unexpected behaviour and the manager of Bandhavgarh MPTDC confirmed that he had not seen such behaviour during his tenure. Well, it was an experience which I shall remember for the rest of my life, not as a frightening experience but a really humbling one.
Anyway, I shall be departing day after tomorrow to join my ship. Wish you and all others on this wonderful site to keep up the excellent work. I shall certainly rejoin you when I come back from the sea.
Bon voyage to Indiawilds.
