Monsoon @ Kabini

Image
As the Climate suggests, it is raining at regular intervals in Kabini which has had a direct impact on occupancy at our resort. Yet there is a set of clienteles who visit our resort every three months to experience the Forest in all its colours. We are four Naturalists here at Kabini and are having the much awaited free time of the year when we can go for Nature-walks around the Resort all by ourselves. As a part of our Eco-Tourism Project, the staffs consist of 90% locales and accompany us on such Walks, helping us in noticing minute interesting features of Nature. They provide us with a first hand knowledge of the Local culture & history too. It’s been long since we thought of putting up a write-up which will help our guests and nature enthusiasts to get some preliminary information of what they can look for while on a Nature-walk or Safari during this part of the year. This time we were able to put some words and pictures together which I would like to share with everybody. Kabi

Dracaena sanderiana - My 'Lucky Bamboo'

My Lucky Bamboo It's been more than 6 years (probably 2009) when I bought my first External Hard drive. Thanks to my friend Vishwa, for giving me the address of a shop in Mysore (Raja Sales) who gave the best deals for Computer peripherals purchases during that time. Since there was no options of Online shopping or Item delivery to various remote areas of India(Bandipur National Park in this case), I took a free ride on the Company vehicle which went for Weekly purchase to Mysore. I got 320GB External Hard Drive(the highest possible) along with some Blank CDs & DVDs at a good deal and was eager to return back quickly to try out the HDDrive. Just while exiting the shop, I found a shop opposite to Raja Sales having a lot of Decoration items. Though the items looked good, none of them had any life in them. I gave a quick round of the shop to see if I could find anything interesting and suddenly my eyes fell on a small set of Bamboos tied together and kept on water in a bowl.
