Depends on the Wild life sanctuaries. I meant how much time I'd be spending there. You'd thought for a moment, depends whether I turn into a tiger's lunch or not?

Notes :

a. Anyone who wishes to join me in this once-in-a-lifetime (at least for me) adventure is welcome. Don't worry you wont be required to share gas bills, etc. Unless, of course, your last name is Buffet.

b. Anyone who wishes to meet up on the way, can leave a message with email id and I will get in touch to see if it works out.

c. Anyone who wishes to sponsor me, will have to pay me a HUGE sum, unless you are into cancer research, feed hungry kid, etc..etc..

c. Please share this blog with your friends..Sorry for being so shameless in advertising for eyeballs...
