In Ranthambore, I met a tiger on the prowl
Who said to me, indeed without any rancour or a growl
‘Hey man! Why don’t you please get out of my way!
For I am quite hungry and am in the lookout of a prey.’
But, on seeing the tiger, you know, my heart was in my mouth
Though greatly terrified, I could not even dare to shout.
The tiger, maybe on seeing my plight, decided get out of my sight
My perception about him changed and I saw him in a new light.
(N.B. Ranthambore wildlife sanctuary is known for its tigers and is one of the best places in India to see these majestic predators in the open.)
