Ranthambore: Jungle safari

A recent field trip, provided an opportunity to visit the Ranthambore National sanctuary. Famed for its tigers, I was excited at the possibility of seeing one during a morning safari. While the king of the forest did not cleary want to amuse us that day. the sights at the jungle were still worth the visit.

I must have been all of ten, when we first came to Mumbai. It was called "Bombay" then, a scintillating city of dreams, with superstars of celluloid, walking the streets as mere humans. Our hosts recommended that we visit the popular hotel "Sun-n-Sand" where we would surely encounter some of these stars. I don't quite remember seeing any such stars at the hotel, but unknowingly some scenes etched into my memories: the famous Juhu beach on which the hotel stood, the sun setting on the the Arabian Ocean where we took our photos, and the tables by the swimming pool where we sipped our cool drinks and enjoyed our ice-creams. Today, as I walked into the hotel, after a good forty years or so, the scenes came flooding back. I ran towards the pool, but it was under repair. Then the beach, almost nothing had changed. Then the sunset, vivid and enduring as ever, reminding me once again of a song: Carpenters "Its Yesterday Once More!" "All my best memories c...
