One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was driving to our camp in Kruger national park (South Africa) and we were running late. It was getting dark and all off a sudden I jammed the brakes when I saw a herd of elephants crossing the road. A baby elephant just ran across the road and its mother turned towards the car and charged for a few steps. I had my heart in my mouth.

It was amazing to see how a mother would do anything to protect her child in any species.

I have years of experience in web design, online learning solution implementation and technical architecture. I represented my college in Chess. Still play a little when I get a chance. Let’s not forget Bambaiya Hindi (The colloquial hindi spoken in Mumbai)
