Choti Tara, Maya & Deja Vu of Tadoba!

 




                                        












--

“Deja Vu confirms a faithful path worth taking.”
 T.F. Hodge

Hodge American born & stays in Los Angeles, & is writer of “From Within I Rise” named self-healing book! Why I used his above words, because that's what this sharing is about (oh yes, there is Tadoba in it, vaidhanik ishara) & that’s one word which I have been most intrigued, since long time & that is, Déjà Vu (not tadoba)! I love reading & I take pride in declaring most of life’s hour I have spent in reading & like a tiger in a forest, my reading has no boundaries as from Tintin to Zen to Sherlock Holms to Chacha Chaudhari to Sigmund Freud (plz google for all of these) I read anything & often I have encountered this Déjà vu thing, I always wondered the way google auto correct it as I can’t even type that thing! Though I have understood what it means at large as today you can get definition of any word & there are many assistants from Alexa to Google baba to Gemini & many such yet there are some terminologies which are not mere set of alphabets but is a phenomenon & this Déjà vu is sure one such, this much I have understood about it. In simple words Déjà vu is a scenario or situation where you can connect it with your past, something very similar about what you are living in present, its just flashing incidence & the similarity can be with place, with the persons, characters involved or set up of the place you are in. Something of the above or all of them makes you feel you have lived these very moments in very similar fashion, it’s not history repeating it’s your own life’s moments you are living again, type feel! 

It's said that every time you visit a forest it looks different, even the same spots with the same trees also gives you a different feel in a single day & Tadoba is no exception to this law of the wilds! Yet interestingly, you find similarity between the events as the place is the same, timing is the same, you are some but the characters may be different & in the back of your mind you keep thinking, you have lived these moments earlier, right here yet the excitement is the same, rather its more with every trip! As in forests few things don’t change such as some tree along the road which has witnessed so many incidences, the tree has stood over the markings of different tigers as average age of a tiger in the wild is fourteen to fifteen years & that too a tiger can keep a particular territory (read as defend the territory) hardly for six or seven years i.e. when its in prime age. As the tiger or tigress grow old, younger tigers take their respective place but the tree remains the same, witness of the transition & same is with a water body in that territory. The dusty paths are one more witness of tiger’s dynasties & all of these are part of our Déjà vu moments as they become the canvas of our stories! That's why we discussed the Deja Vu effect where you feel like you have experienced a set of incidents earlier also & this Tadoba trip gave me many of them, here are few of them!!

Cut 1:

Choti Tara sitting on Pandharpauni water hole road which was earlier territory of legendary Maya tigress & where I have clicked Maya with her cub nearly ten years back, in the same pose I saw Choti tara & her sub adult cub. Road was same, pose of sitting of maya was same, the cub walking towards her affectionately, was same; even two gypsies in the frame on the background, was same. The only difference was, it's Choti Tara this time & slight change of angle for clicking for me. When I saw Maya, she was facing me & the cub’s face was hidden behind, here Choti Tara’s face was hidden behind the cub but the entire setting was the same, a perfect Déjà vu!

Cut 2 :

At 97 No. water-hole I saw a young male Tiger lazing on a hot noon. This particular water hole is the favourite hanging spot of two/ three male tigers as mainly of-late Mowgli named tiger has made this place as his personal pool! At fir we thought its Mowgli only but when the tiger looked at us, we realized it's much younger eyes looking at us, these eyes lack hardness of stare which comes only by the battles you have to fight to survive for long in the forests, which Mowgli has & our guide said, Sir, ye naya male hai, young hai, isse Collerwala kahate hai!  I have clicked Mowgli just two years back & seems slowly the young male is trying his luck with the place as his territory & that’s how forest life moves on. Seems Mr Mowgli is also busy in expanding his territory but the look, the pose the way neck cocked up at the sound of alarm calls of & the rise from the water & the walk, for a movement except size everything was getting repeated & I have lived another Déjà vu moment in Tadoba!

Cut 3 :

It was a hot summer season ending noon, sky was cloudy yet mercury was up & forest was silent. I have agreed to come for this trip for only one reason, to watch Choti Tara grooming her sub adult female cubs & this might be her last litters as she is already nearly fifteen years old & both these cubs are females means when they will grow full then they only will take CT’s (choti tara’s nickname is CT) territory, pushing her in outer jungle where her survival will be very difficult considering age is not on her side now! This thought which does makes me sad, but it made me push aside my workload & I signed up for the trip. And CT didn’t disappoint me, giving us a full show which made me live multiple Déjà vu moments along. I have been clicking & watching Choti tara since last ten years, from her first cubs which includes today’s king of tadoba, Chota Mataka. And present two queens of Tadoba are also CT’s daughters i.e. Bijli & Roma. On the background of lush green grass cover around Pandharapuni water hole while CT walking towards our gipsy & the sub adult cub trailing, I relived the same scene nearly nine years back, with then the cub Chota Matka walking behind her, a perfect Déjà vu!

And then to get CT head on where she was looking in my camera, her eyes which were never glowing but warm (rather loving always), I remembered all those times when I have kept looking at her through the lens, while she walked  head-on towards me & I can see her as a young female, then as a matured lady & today, she is nearly age of a grannie (from tiger’s life span aspect), tired she is & fragile, yet the eyes carries same warmth & confidence! Guys, I have been visiting forests for more than three decades & forest has taught me the brutality of life or say practicality which has helped me in my own life back here in our concrete jungle! Yet this time when my eyes got locked with Choti Tara’s eyes & the look she gave me, like she was telling me, “are you happy now, after clicking me; I am ageing, I know I don’t look anymore the way you have seen me in my prime, now my skin is not shining & my muscles are loose & my bones are weak, my face isn’t beautiful the way it used to be, but my will to give my best is still the same. I will be leaving my legacy here forever in the form of these two girls of mine & they will carry on, take care of them, click them also with the same love & affection the way you have for me” & she disappeared in the woods crossing our gipsy! That was the ultimate Déjà vu of locking eyes with CT, & when I felt camera vision was blurred, I tried to wipe the lens & realized it was not lens problem but my eyes had become watery by the Déjà vu effect of Choti Tara. I wiped tears from my eyes & came out of forest praying for one more Déjà vu to live with CT though I know this is how the wildlife is yet as Mr Hodge has said, Déjà vu is a faithful path, so I am sure I will see CT once again! Apart from Déjà vu moments, I got to see (read as study) the way a tigress teaches her cubs to make their territory, going ahead first, selecting a right tree & then scratching it with nails & urinating for scent & making the cubs follow this! And all this when the mom knows that she will be the victim of this training, that’s what a tigress mom is!

Btw, if you are wondering with names like Mowgli, Collerwala, Maya, Charger, then these are not human characters but a lot more than that, these are tigers whose home is Tadoba & though forest dept doesn’t acknowledge or approve naming tigers but then, the Déjà vu can’t be with the numbers but only with the names & faces behind those names, so be it! Oh yes, needless to say, right from chinkara grazing in the fields along the Samrudhhi Highway to Pied King Fisher’s acrobatics in air to experiencing wonder full Father-Son relation among tigers (Charger & Veerappan), a lot of learnings were there too!

Here are some of the Deja Vu & other moments of Tadoba,

Understanding Sustainable Development!

 










----

“The most sustainable way is to not make things. The second most sustainable way is to make something very useful, to solve a problem that hasn’t been solved.” – Thomas Sigsgaard

 “Sustainability is no longer about doing less harm. It’s about doing more good.” -Jochen Zeitz

“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.”— Mahatma Gandhi

 

Architect from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1995. Jochen Zeitz is a businessman best known for his work as CEO of Harley-Davidson, Inc., and chairman of LiveWire Inc. Previously Zeitz served as the chairman and CEO of Puma for a long time. And the third name needs no introduction & beauty of that person’s quote is what these two gentlemen from the so-called developed world, have said today about sustainability, Mahatma Gandhi has realized it & said nearly eight decades back years back. And not only Gandhiji has just said or shown concern about sustainability but he started living by it, unlike his western world counterparts, that’s why he is great! Unfortunate fact is, we have the legacy of thinkers like Gandhiji about the environment & nature at large yet we hardly do or have done anything about it rather we are pushing the whole sustainability concept in reverse direction! This is not my subject of sharing, sorry for going off-track (as usual) but the reason about sudden my emotional burst is a call which I received from a friend who works with Environment Ministry & he asked Sanjay, can you tell me what is “Sustainable Development’ & his second question was, what is the term “sustainable materials’’ meant?  I was super happy for two things, first getting called for such question from such a friend, shows I am still an engineer who is more known for academic than just as a builder (this is my self-derived outcome) & second, those questions triggered the thinking mechanism on positive roll which is rare thing now a days, especially in real estate!

I have asked him , how much time you have got for listening answer, as he is a busy person just the way most people in the govt are (no sarcasm, I am referring to people who really work there) & he did truthfully said not much, so in short I tried to explain him sustainable development is like blind men judging an elephant by touching it (plz google for this story) & unfortunately, I too am part of that blind men’s team though I know this much, what I have touched is not a complete elephant & I keep exploring it to understand the elephant in the right way! And I did explain to him what my views are (which is the subject of this sharing) & the second question about Sustainable materials, is like a byproduct of the first question, is also I told him. Sustainable material is, use of what is available in natural form & using it with minimum or no processing! For e.g. making a home with Janbhya Dadgad (Red Stone) in Konkan & covering the roof of it with Naralachya Jhavalya (coconut tree’s branches) & using clay flooring for this home. In all this process you still have to chisel or shape up the stone block, but that’s the minimum, so you can call such home made by sustainable material yet you can’t call it as sustainable development always! He was confused & I smiled as that’s the gugli (bowling term not the person who kept googling all the time; forgive PJ) because I explained, even to use red Stone, you have to dig up earth, an act against nature. At the same time, if the home is not in Konkan region where red-stone is found but somewhere in Central India then also its not sustainable as to carry that stone there is use of petrol or diesel, again anti-environment action. As well, if everybody starts building their respective home in red stone then soon there will be no red stone left in Konkan or anywhere which again is not good for nature, this is the catch!

Hopefully he was satisfied & we said bye, yet the questions kept lingering in my mind as how we can achieve sustainable development of which sustainable material use is just one aspect, & first I thought shrugging that thought as such thoughts, however positive they appears yet ends up with frustrations (read as more frustration) is my experience & yet I know if we don’t act & collectively then its already too late for nature at large, so I started this sharing which is only way I have in my control! First & foremost, I have some very clear (and ruthless) confession, there is nothing like Eco-friendly in this world, especially in civil engg (read as real estate) as often the term used as sustainable development is in reference of nature or say its conservation but it’s just the way a doctor gives you a capsule coated with sweet covering under which bitter medicine is there. And, the sad fact is, here under the sweetness of a name like sustainable we are hiding the bitter reality of damaging nature! As sustainable when used in terms of only nature then anything which is not produced in nature & not being used in the same way is not sustainable for nature! If you are confused then, here is a simple example; a monkey living on tree, eating fruits, drinking water from natural waterbodies or a tiger living in natural cave, eating deer in raw form (no butter chicken or mutton rogan-josh) & drinking water from river or stream, is sustainable living & anything other than this is not sustainable, at least for nature! And till the humans were living by this way of nature we can say it was sustainable living but we are so called most intelligent species & we started evolving (in our term development) by using other means to make our life comfortable or easy & here is where the balance of nature also started changing on wrong side & now nothing we do is Eco Friendly or can be called as sustainable on the front of nature, lets accept this first, is my subject of sharing!

In the famous movie Jungle Book (Disney who else), written by Rudyard Kipling which is a story about humans & animals, interestingly on the background of Central India’s forest, where human boy Mowgli getting trained by Ballu (sloth bear) & Bagira (black leopard), Mowgli helps Ballu to get honey by using ropes to climb at height & burning torch to shoo away honey-bees. Bagira objects to this way of getting food (honey) & warns Ballu, about disturbing the balance of forest. He says, this is not the way sloth bears’ are supposed to get their honey as if everybody starts extracting such excess honey from the beehives then there will be no honey left for bees & other animals which will definitely be a bad omen for the entire forest, this is unsustainability & this is how humans by their so-called innovations have damaged nature’s balance on every front which we have touched & high time for us to understand it before we define or design our so called sustainable development, is my subject of sharing! So, sustainable development is something, by which every stake holder’s life related with that development is going to get a shade better than what it is at present! Once we understand this concept (and agrees to it) then only we can plan sustainable development which can be any man-made thing, right from a bridge to dam to resort to airport to railway line to a mine or an industry, the list is unending, but as I deal with real estate, so let’s focus on making our homes from sustainability angle! So, confession no.2, there is nothing like an eco-friendly building in real estate; all we can say is, less eco-damaging or more eco-damaging! And do mind, nature is not the only stake holder of real estate so when we call it sustainable then its residents (flat buyers), the city, the environment(nature), government (how can we exclude it), & yes, the developer also! Many people will frown with last two factors & question, how can sustainability accommodate these two in development but this is what we must understand as any development if it’s not going to be sustainable for the government then how it can work for longer period & if it’s not sustainable for the developer then how & why he will complete it in the first place!

If you are confused then read today's (10-7-25) newspaper & you will find a whole page full of photos of traffic jams in the city due to rains & you will say 'what's big deal' in it! Well, that’s one sign that the development happening in & around the city it’s not sustainable for the city & it’s not just traffic front but right from water to air quality everything is under pressure & that’s job of the government to make it sustainable but somehow, we are repeatedly failing on that front, means the development is making things difficult for the government, & then can you call it as sustainable, is my question!  Speaking about the developer, you can build a Taj Mahal but if it's unsalable or not viable commercially for the builder, why he will complete it & then no incomplete development is sustainable for any segment, is simple logic! In nut-shell, the development must be sustainable for the maker financially also, when you make sustainable development, this aspect we forget. And for that we must have ease of doing business which is missing totally in real estate right now, but that's a separate subject of sharing!

At the same time any development must add comfort for its residents & the citizens of the city also which means the project must be affordable for the flat buyers & its periodical maintenance costs also must be making them comfortable & not burn holes in their pockets such as expenses for basic things like water supply. And any hole to the pocket means stress to our mind means uncomforting means not sustainable, right? This means whatever you built must be useful to the user (home buyer in case of real estate) from two angles, one is capital investment (cost of home) & second is monthly maintenance cost which includes property tax, electricity bills & housekeeping for the home or else it will keep on making the occupier discomforting means not sustainable & the same is true for the neighbouring residents of the city at large! Bengaluru is classic example of this as few decades back it was one of the best cities for the residents but the development has made life miserable for the existing citizens on the front of traffic jams, water logging during rains & inadequate water supply, this means unsustainable development at large even if some project can be a sustainable project if we restrict the concept only from one or more stakeholders' perspective, is my subject of sharing! This doesn’t mean we stop development or everything is wrong as I am no judge for it all I am saying is it's high time for us to define sustainable development in the right way as then only we can balance all the stakeholders interest instead of making some lives comfortable & others miserable!

And then comes the last aspect, its sustainable lifestyle which Gandhiji was referring to, as agreed we can’t live in natural cave & eat fruits but at the same time, we as user (read as beneficiary) of any development must learn to live in tune with nature which is not happening & then we blame to every other stakeholder for making our life uncomfortable! Right from trying to use public transport or consuming electricity at our will to unnecessary shopping to avoiding simple things such as plucking flowers from flowering trees, so many things we can do to make our life sustainable which we don’t! At the entrance of my building, I have planted many flowering trees such as Champa, Tagar, Jaswand, as flowers of all such trees are very important for honeybees & butterflies, or else in this concrete jungle where they will get food, right? Planting such flowering trees is part of sustainable development too, but every day, the morning-walkers & society’s residents pluck every single flower from these trees leaving nothing for butterflies or honey-bees & this is unsustainable lifestyle, defeating the very purpose of sustainable development, about which nobody thinks or speaks, is my subject of sharing! And only after we understand all such aspects of sustainability then we can not only identify the sustainable materials but can also quantify the use of the same in the sustainable developments! I think, right from making development plans to sanctioning processes to infrastructure making to forming urban development policies to planning of a single project, everything must be looked at with this wider vision about sustainability as then only we can achieve some of it!

Friends, like Bagira the leopard of Jungle Book warned Ballu the Bear, if we mess with nature then destruction is the only way with which nature responds back; if a leopard & sloth-bear can understand sustainability then we, the so called most intelligent species can understand it too, provided we are really intelligent & not vice-versa, adios with this “waidhanik ishara”!

Shubhman Gill, Intent & Indian Cricket's History!

--

“History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.”
 Mark Twain

“We'll be remembered more for what we destroy than what we create.”
 Chuck Palahniuk

“The great cricketer Virat Kohli said in an interview that he does not try for excellence in cricket. Rather he believes in a concept called 'betterment' - to become better each day (each game) than your former self.”

Mark Twain, probably one of the top ten authors in entire literature history, while Chuck is new era’s fiction writer from USA & Virat Kohli, well if you don’t know his name then as I always say (Vaidhanik Ishara), you can stop reading right here, because the sharing is about cricket (Again!)! Very rarely it has happened that I write about same subject is succession (n span of a week) & the subject is not Tadoba (sarcasm) but cricket & on a very happy note, so thanks to team India for this & keeping the track record of creating or say rewriting history with your game! For quick recap of subject, Indian Cricket team is in England for five test match series & first test we made history already in both ways by our performance which we lost & starting from there this test match which is still on (fifth day going) when I started to write already some more pages has been added in the history of game named cricket & this time it was one man (subject of sharing) who did it literally single handedly & it’s our captain Subhuman Gill! You may be wondering (many with frown as this game’s haters) what so important to spare so much time to write (and make then you read) about a game which is played in mere fifteen countries & when event like Wimbledon is going on in the same country & tennis is played in nearly ten times more numbers of countries in comparison with cricket! Then two things, (no offence with tennis) one, cricket is a game of twenty-two people playing together, & any performance is needed to be a combo of individual efforts & team’s support & second, unlike tennis cricket can be played with minimum setup & anywhere which is a boon for our poor country! So, cricket is a game of the masses, something which even cricket haters hast to accept. And then we all needed to play our game of life, may it be at home or at office (work) in a team format, so whatever we learn from such games, it does help for us to perform better in our respective game, is my logic!

Ok, the philosophy part is over (for now) let's come to our sharing’s captain & go through these achievements or say historic facts which he has written in the last four days as a captain & as an individual, many of which you must have read in newspapers already but just to make you aware once again. In his two innings of batting, Gill has made 269 runs in first inning & 161 runs in second innings, thus making 430 runs in a single test, which is record on many fronts in entire history of not just Indian cricket but world cricket & this history is one hundred forty years plus old, do mind! He is the only batsman to score a double hundred in first innings & one fifty plus in second innings! He is the maximum scorer in a single test from the Indian side & second in the entire world! He already has become the maximum run maker in just four innings from the Indian side in England! Well, there are many such first & only one & in doing so Gill has surpassed names like Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Lakshman, Saurav Ganguli & Virat Kohali which are his seniors from India. At the same time, he has overtaken names like Steeve Smith, Grammy Smith, Brian Lara, Kumar Sangakkara, Graig Chappel & many such & all this at the age of twenty-five, is the reason my sharing! At the same time, he didn’t do it just as a batsman player but he was carrying the burden of captainship of a young team whom everybody has ruled out of the series even before it started! And captaining the Indian Cricket team is like a Game of Thrones as you are wearing a crown & sitting on a chair which is admired, loved more than that or prime ministership but comes with the greatest of price & burden! The price is, fulfilling expectations of one fifty crore citizens of always keep on winning whichever match you are playing & that burden is bigger than any burden you can ever even imagine as if you fail to pay that price then even the biggest names (read as God) of Indian cricket has been booed out of stadium for not standing to the expectations of fans, that’s punishment of failing to deliver in cricket in our country!

And then your team was entering in this match (second test) after losing first match from nearly stage of winning & do mind there are defeats & wins in any games but some defeats hurt a lot especially when three-fourth time of the game your team is winning & yet end up on losing, that breaks your morale, as a player, as a human & even as a captain! So, Gill was facing three responsibilities, first to put a bitter painful defeat behind, brace himself as an individual player, then as a human being needed to overcome depression & as a captain lift himself & his ten men to give their best once again & his batting average (barring last match's hundred) in the England was against him, i,e,below par it was!! Oh yes one more thing was there, Bumrah (plz google) who is supposedly your best weapon & world number one bowler is unavailable for this match & to win any match you have to bowl-out the opposite team twice, means twenty wickets! Any man would have given up or buckled down with such Everest of burden of adversities but then such men don’t write history, only those who don’t break, face the worst of adversities as an opportunity, they do it & which Gill did with only one known & proven way i.e. by performing himself! I am a keen (diehard fan) of test cricket, this I have already shared & reason is about the grind of this game as well the opportunities you get to listen to the inputs about the game (and about life) by the commentators some of them are also legends of the game in their time. And repeatedly one word was used during the game when Gill was playing & it was, “intent”! We all can get the meaning of any word in any language nowadays at our fingertips (thanks Internet) but to understand the meaning of some word like “Intent” in a true sense is, experience someone living by it, which Gill showed by example. Intent was to not to prove anything but intent was to be there as much time as he can & lift morale of the entire team (and nation) by not breaking down, emotionally & physically & keep going! This sharing was a tribute to Gill’s display of intent & in doing so whatever record (read as records) he broke in the process is a by-product of that intent! And do mind, in the first test also Gill has made a hundred but so did other four batsmen in the team but in this test, he was a sole centurion in both innings, which made most of other players to chip-in with valuable contribution. This reminded me story of Shrikrishna lifting Gowardhan Parbat (mountain) on his little finger & yet made it look like its every villager who also helped in generating that power as a true leader is one who makes every team-mate feel that he or she too is the key person in the victory or say performance of the team, which Gill did!

This is why these two innings of Gill are so vital & I started penning down (tributing) him even before the match got concluded, just like last time I did for entire team India. Though the difference is Gill with his herculean efforts has made it sure that India won’t lose this match even if a miracle happens but to make a draw also would be like a win for England now, this is sheer outcome of intent! As first you wen on a tour where nobody gives you a chance to win & even our recent history of game says so, yet your team puts a super show in the first game & still you lose the match & then nearly single handedly you take the second game to such level that even the best team in the game on their own turf doesn’t have any chance to win rather they are needed to fight to save the match, this is what intent of one person can do, is my subject of sharing. And in doing so you naturally evolve as a person as a leader also & you gain respect not by the sword given to you but by the way you use that sword. And this is applicable to each of us in our respective career, life whatever we call it! This sharing I am penning down for myself first because as Virat said with v=every game you must become a shade better than the earlier one & even by watching someone becoming better we can also become so, right? But more than that I am sharing this for my kids & younger genre who wants to become something or prove themselves as success needs practice, extreme discipline, dedication & patience & yes fitness (as to play for nearly three days out of four days on the ground you need to be extreme fit), and when you put all this together then you don’t need to demand success, you rule it, is what Gill’s innings made me realize, once again! I wish every youngster must watch, read about these innings of Gill as they are like an open (and free) classroom of life, teaching how one should develop himself on the path of success & what is needed to do when you are confronted with adversities in life! Indeed, even after doing all this & putting your heart out there can be no victory, but one thing is sure, there will be respect for your efforts, lots of it & a confidence that you won’t get in any market or online but you have earned it by yourself! Thanks, Shubhman Gill, for teaching me a lesson of facing the hardships of life by only way you know i.e. your game & making me richer with the history you have created; keep up & keep writing more such history, adios with this wish!

(Well, while Gill was making history another youngster, rather a kid, Vaibhav Surywanshi already joined the history game in England itself by becoming the youngest person to score fastest hundred in under ninteen cricket).

* By the time you will be reading this sharing, team India might have sealed victory, one more history & I am glad to witness it, so you all will be for sure!
