1.6 Into the Wild - Part One : Lost in the Jungle by Kiran Purandare
Kiran Purandare (born 1961) After B.Com, he studied Environmental Studies at Jordanhill College of Education in Scotland. He is a recipient of the 'Sahitya Puraskar'. Pune's Bhai Madhav Bagal Award and Best Literature Award given by Cultural Department of Maharashtra State for his 'Sakha Nagzira'. He spent 400 days inside Nagzira and nearby forest areas and wrote this award winning book. This excerpt has been taken from the same. He is a wild-life expert, a bird watcher, a writer and honorary wild life warden in Maharashtra. He is also the founder of Nisarg Wedh Organisation, which works for nature conservation and community work around Nagzira, Navegaon, a Tiger Reserve in Bhandara and Gondia districts. He also founded Kika's Bird Club in order to spread bird farming which is very popular among school-going children of Maharashtra.
(Part I) As the name suggests, the excerpt is an amazing experience of the writer where Kiran Purandare, the solitary traveller, is completely lost in the jungles of Umbarzara. He narrates how he lost his way at the fall of the dusk and the terrifying turmoil he underwent thereafter. Shouting for help would literally mean 'crying in the wilderness'. He also gives a detailed description of how he found his way towards the Pitezari.
