http://anetherworld.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Musings from the North-east. A blog about people and wildlife in forests of North-east India. Sunday, 7 September 2014. I still remember the time the salt-and-pepper-bearded always-smiling old man asked me to get tobacco back to Bomdo. He said, "just get this here, and we will be glad you ever came around"! So I went with my friend and collected, each time content with the number of seeds, but my friend kept insisting, "your situation is different, take more! And then the rest of the story came together.

You will be forgiven for thinking that these actions seem a bit strange and over-the-top, but after having a close shave with elephants (just an hour back) people can be driven to strange heights of euphoria!

http://thoughtsinthefield.blogspot.com/2010/06/curious-case-of-nosy-healer.html
Intermittent notes from a full-time biologist. Travels and travails of a wildlife biologist in India. Wednesday, June 2, 2010. The curious case of the nosy healer.

Him: “Guess I’ll just have to go to the 24 hr pharmacy or go to the doc’s chamber”. To walk because, lets say there are no vehicles.”. Silence. More silence. I meet a fair share of interest...

Intermittent notes from a full-time biologist. Travels and travails of a wildlife biologist in India. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. As we are constantly reminded during our coursework at ATREE.
