In Jaipur for The Safari

June 8, 2013: Today morning I once again landed in Jaipur. This was a sudden trip as I had decided a couple of days back to organize a get together to celebrate the completion of my Ranthambore Dairy – The Safari.

The book, which is a travelogue on the tigers of Ranthambore reserve, is ready and I am firming up plans to release it formally. But I had an afterthought that why not, prior to the formal and the usual book release function, do something in a different way. So I decided to organise a get together and arranged for showcasing various elements of Ranthambore.

I am scheduled to leave for London on the morning of June 14 for about five weeks, so I’d better do something as the book is ready.

Yesterday evening I could not attend the premier of Agnidev Chatterjee’s new film Mrs Sen, featuring Rituparna as the main cast, due to my early morning flight. Also, I was fully occupied working out the modalities for organizing the night at the ITC Rajputana, Jaipur.

I’ll also miss out Bratya’s play today at the Academy in Kolkata.
