Zest La Vie
Something curious happens when you
bite into mint chutney sandwiches in
the middle of a forest, surrounded by
nothing but crisp, clean air and
silence.
Heeding Nature’s Call
After two searing hot summer months
when mercury levels soar and there is
an oppressive air of stillness that
makes one most uncomfortable, I was
all set for my well deserved visit to
Dooars.

Under A Green Canopy
The hordes of cheery cicadas stop
chattering snappily the minute we set
foot on the shola. Flogged by the
silence and remorse, we continue to
stomp dry leaves, without a word.
