That is a lovely idea ma'am. Will do that when I meet him next (which is soon).
He is a terrific person. Knows the forests there inside out. He is in charge of keeping a vigil throughout the night on alternate days in the sanctuary throughout the year. The purpose is to light fires which drive away the elephants that approach the river at the border of the sanctuary to cross over to the village beyond the river. In fact, we met him on a butterfly survey where he was finding caterpillars for us that were hidden in ways one can scarcely imagine! His name is Biju. An exciting character who has trekked to various passes in the Himalayas because he had some contacts while working as as a chef in Delhi. He was later working in Bangalore at a 5 star hotel when he got this job in Kerala.
