Haha, sure will do!

Hi Mark! Thanks for commenting Please enjoy the newer version of this recording. The link is in the comments.

Thats a very good point! I'd think the same as well.

Happy to hear this! Thank you

Thank you as always! It means a lot that you found time to listen.

Oh 100 pc! Jim Corbett's conservation credentials are not infallible by any means. He was very much a product of his times. This was a clear case of a documented Corbett trophy hunt and there were probably a few more of these even during his later years. He used to lead organized hunting shoots for the royalty and the british aristocracy after all (see Talla Des story part 1) The way I see it, if Corbett hadn't bagged it, someone else would have eventually gotten this tiger. Atleast through Corbett's writings, it has been immortalized forever. Thanks for commenting!

Who cares.. ma y loved it.

We're all very glad you have left.

My pleasure Mr. Black! Always happy to see your name in the comments and to have your support.

Yes, so many authors to explore. Will get to a few more in due course. Thanks for commenting!

Very true, Hamza! Selous was a good writer, albeit his writings do contain some very strong language from today's standards. Which is par for the course considering the time period.

And I believe Carpet Sahibs birthday next year 2025 will be 150th !

Thank you! As a Corbett scholar you're right, next year will be the 150th birthday of the great man and I will try and see if I can finish his semi-autobiography, Jungle Lore by then.

Haha yes Harshat!

@@selvalore pretty convincing sound actually. Looks like elevenlabs has high quality voice renditions!

Thank you for the support! I will see what I can do.

Hello Mr. Haniff, thank you for your comment! Indeed, you raise an important point here. If you notice in the beginning I have put a disclaimer about the potential use of insensitive language. I was aware of it when I was recording the book. But I chose to go ahead with it anyway, as I believe censoring what is otherwise historically accurate and is representative of the time and place when this piece was written, doesnt serve a purpose. At the same time, your words do hold some merit as well. Admittedly, I was not aware about the degree of offensiveness that the K word carries in Africa and I deeply regret its inclusion.

Derogatory they may be by modern standards, but at the time they did not carry those connotations. No but the like of you and your modern sensibilities would wish to have the story changed in any way. You are quite simply wrong.

All this is pleasant fiction, haha! But thank you regardless.

It comes with a change in the big cat and the setting!

Yes, you are right! Always great seeing your name in the comments.

Yes, I've seen some of those too. Those will all be covered at some point. Thanks for commenting!

I do! Later this year possibly.

@@selvalore Awesome as can’t do reads about mandated without some of the most infamous ones lol

You're welcome!

Thanks, David! I've always loved the natural world and stories from it bring me joy as well.

Haha, I appreciate the effusiveness!

Haha, you mean the lion from the story surely!

Doing well, thanks for dropping by Wasim bhai! Hope all's well on your end.

@@selvalore Beautiful, You remembered. Here and there I just happen to search your channel. I guess I search a part of myself in your voice. As if we are connected somehow since my Grandmother's side were Chauhan Rajputs from Jodhpur. I feel something in your voice which I cannot put in words. May I suggest you to visit Jawai leopard hills when you come to India, and also ranthambore.

Haha, glad it helped! Thanks for commenting

Exactly what I do to make time fly at work

Thank You Arun ji! Always happy to see your name in the comments!

@@selvalore The pleasure is all mine Mr Viraj Singh

You're very welcome my friend from South Africa! I hope I didn't make too many mistakes with some of the native African names.

I appreciate that!

Ah man, I've been thinking of it for some time. I need to get around to it.

Yeah well he made a living as a professional hunter selling ivory. A product of a much different time.

Love to hear this! Thank you!
