Over multi-hundred safaris. The same three people across the same back seat. Year after year, season after season, before sunrise and into the afternoon heat, across seven forests and twenty years of asking a question that keeps changing its meaning.
Confessions of a Safariholic is not a guide to seeing tigers. It is the memoir of what happens after you have seen them often enough to stop keeping count - when "what will we see today?" has become "who is still here?" and the forest has quietly rearranged your calendar, your friendships, your vocabulary, and your sense of time.
Written in the intimate Hinglish of India's tiger country - canter ya gypsy, mila permit, yaar agent best hain, call aa raha hai - this is a family chronicle, a practitioner's education, and an honest account of the apparatus of obsession: the permit lottery, the zone arithmetic, the driver who becomes yours, the lodge that learns your tea, the operator who absorbs the entire logistical surface of a hobby so you can give the forest your full attention.
It is also a letter to India's tiger economy - the guides, drivers, cooks, guards and communities whose livelihoods are the real reason the forests survive. And it ends, as it must, with the most honest phrase in Indian safari. This is about every person who goes on organizing and participating a few hundred tiger safaris and learns, trip by trip, that the forest was always doing the organising.
Non-tourism mein gaya hain.
Gone into the part of the forest that does not perform for us.
Which is, it turns out, the part that matters most.
