Just saw this. Frankly speaking I am humbled by the suggestion that one day I can be equated with such stalwarts. Hopefully if I can make some meaningful difference to our amazing wildlife and wilderness areas, then I will feel that my life is well lived.

My father was a Professor of Zoology and he used to take PG classes in our house and I had the privilege of listening. I have remembered a few things and importantly retained the essence. Both of my sisters are M Phil and PhDs. I don't have a PhD, so that way, I am the most illiterate in our family.

I do read a lot and have been noting down and saving in my computer for the past few years. I wish, I had adopted the habit of noting down in diary like you do when I was visiting forests early in my career.

Thank you a lot for your encouragement. It is highly motivating.
