Siddharth and Tiger!!

On the weekend of Good Friday we visited ramnagar and Corbett National Park…

The place we stayed was good, one day before to good Friday was an election day in delhi, every other car you see was having the delhi number.. it created so much of rush there that the entry to the Corbett park became difficult…

After spending four hours at the office of the forest department we got the tickets…
The Kosi river was just flowing at a distance of one kilometer from the cottage we were staying…
We had a great time at the river, we sat on the stones and let the water flow beneath us.. Siddharth was initially scared of putting is feet in the water.. i made him sit in my lap then told him to put his feet in the water, and made sure to him that mamma will not leave him, ... within very short time he got comfortable and sat alone on the stone….
There was one stone which was inside the water, the flow was very high there, i challenged Vivek to go onto the stone… he did that … it is amazing of him to go inside the water….
Next day early morning we started our journey to the Corbett Park… we were in the canter… At one the canter was stopped on a very height of the river to show us the animal if they come to drink water.. We saw the crocodile…

When we were going back to the canter, Siddharth fall down and there was a blood on his face, I picked him and got scared to see two holes in between the chick and lips… T
his was the first experience of us and Siddharth… the blood was flowing continuously… Somehow by putting cold water sugar I was able to make the blood flow stop, Siddharth was asking me Tiger dekhne chalo, we all were amazed on his bravery….
We were in the middle of the jungle, where we could not get any first aid , hoping for some car to get so that we can go back to the ramnagar and take Siddharth to the doctor… and our prayer were answered, a gypsy was coming on the opposite route.. we reached Ramnagar… and got Siddharth treated from the doctor, he was fine no stitches were made…
I was wondering that how early these kids forget everything, he was in the water on the same evening, playing with boats and wanted to do the hand gliding…

He was okay till the time they set the hand glider, at the last moment he said I will go with mamma.. That was not possible as i was not trained.. so I did the hand glider with a trainer…. It was a great feeling to be in sky like a bird…. The most amazing thing was acknowledgement and Siddharth telling everyone Mamma ne hand gliding ke thee…


On the way back we showed Siddharth termite house, a small meeting with the monkeys, a visit to the fields of golden wheat( Kanak deeyan baliayan)……


With all these long and sweet memories we are back home…………………
Siddharth is full of actions again... when he looks at pictures he will say mujhe chot lagi thee.. lekin paani mein mazza aaya.. phir chalo... corbett jungle.......
