The Lime Orchard at the fag end of Tiger Path has stood
the test of time and is still there surviving against the adverse conditions
thrown at it by the weather Gods over half a centaury.
I first visited this place in the year1963, the undergrowth
then was dense, today a large portion of the valley has been cleared by natural
forces and of course the woodcutters.
The orchard with its few lime trees are still there I’m sure
some of the boys have helped themselves to the wild limes earlier in the year.
Walter and myself took a cool walk to this favourite haunt after ages. The mist
was pretty dense, making it neigh impossible to spot any of the bird tweeting
in the trees along the path.
Folks in town when they hear of us venturing into the woods alone
are skeptical, and think of us as madmen craving for an early and gruesome
death at the hands of the sloth bear that freely roam the jungles of Abu. Over
the last few years there have been incidences of people being severely ripped
up and mauled by these bears.
Look forward to Walters’s narration on Facebook later
tonight. Enjoy some of the snaps I took while on the walk, I’m sure they will
bring to mind some nostalgic and misty moments.
