More power to you my boy! May you grow from strength to strength! Just the other day, the Editor of Sanctuary Asia sat with Hans Dalal at his beautiful 'Spotted Owlet' homestay in theTadoba Tiger Reserve... and partook of a tiny bit of a 'Mahua Mojito' concocted by Hans.
The next morning, in the thick Tadoba buffer forests, we caught sight of that fabulous tigress 'W' with her three three-month-old cubs. It's time the two of you met. Both of you are part of the Sanctuary family... as is this Rusa unicolor family... where the male got caught partaking of free-for-all forest delights!
