His video upload is akin to a ball handed to Lomu, one just knows brilliance is about to unfold, thank you 🙏

Wow, I've never heard of that analogy before. Thank you!

Another audio treat! With a different author too. Thank you!

[@selvalore]

Thank you for the comment!

[@raymondsandoval6656]

Thanks for this beautiful gift of an audiobook! What a time that was! When game was abundant in both India and Africa. I dont condone indiscriminate killing of animals, but rather responsible hunting in a sporting way to test one's skills against nature. I agree with the author that just roaming around in the jungle on foot and appreciating nature and the wildlife is all part of the mystery and thrill associated with it.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!

Anderson relates how the expansion of population, the clash of domestic animals and wild ones, and the availability of poison supplied by Government to protect crops from insects (but was deadly when targeted to carnivores) resulted in wild animals, tigers particularly, nearing extinction.

[@prasannas9693]

Getting to know about Donald’s last days leaves us in melancholy. Thanks selvalore for bringing back Donald through your voice💐

[@selvalore]

That's right! Thank you Prasanna!

[@monicahaymes4361]

Thank you. Always pleased to see a new video from you.

[@selvalore]

So glad to hear this. Thank you!

[@tanksouth]

Thank you. God’s love never quits.

[@hamishford5486]

SERIOUSLY? You are clearly not a deep thinker, are you? Your god, who you religious people claim created everything, is an indiscriminate mass murderer via earthquakes, floods, tidal waves, wildfires, hurricanes, disease, etc!

[@ashleynewton6651]

Thank you now I can fall asleep listening to this. Wonderfully written account of a time long gone and beautifully narrated as well.

[@selvalore]

Thank you for the comment, Ashley!

[@motorcop505]

Mr Singh’s narration always adds so much to each book that he performs. We are all the lucky beneficiaries around the world thanks to this wonderful channel! No matter how bad I might be feeling, these stories never fail to make things better. Thank you once again! 🇺🇸🐅🇮🇳

[@selvalore]

Lucid and engaging writing. Marvellously narrated as well!

[@selvalore]

Thank you Neil!

[@luigizaccaria7175]

Very nice to see the transition from the last shikar days to now days. Unfortunately in India there wasn’t enough preservation to allow an equilibrium between hunting and wildlife. We can only imagine how nice would be to have all that freedom and live this kind of adventures. Thanks for the story!

[@selvalore]

Hear hear! Thank you, I appreciate the comment.

What a difference a few decades made in the life of Don! His life turned completely around in that time. A true riches to rags story. This was such a nice surprise! Hadn't expected this book to be covered here. Thank you

[@jamess3241]

Im not sure if im spelling it correctly, buy what does the term "durai" mean?

[@selvalore]

"Dorai", as I understand was a term used to address an englishman in that part of India. Equivalent to the "sahib" used in northern India.

[@noopurmathur431]

Enjoyed your reading... Missed the humility and the affection for the local population, which is so Corbett ish... Enjoyed nonetheless

[@selvalore]

Splendid! Thank you for listening, Noopur ji!

[@ap8672]
