1. A day in the
field

2. The luxury of waking up to the forest and bird
calls…and having a stream all to yourself for a
dip!!!

3. Days’ work: sampling the forest and tea plantations with stream water
and forest fruits to quench little hunger pangs.

4. Although we go chasing dung beetles, one cannot resist the other creatures of the
forest.

5. Sorting the catch of the day and a night discussion with my local boss (Prof.
Kotagama) and some undergraduates at the research station

6. One can always bask in the kindness of the local people when working in a
rural area. They are quick to befriend , eager to share what little they have
and are amazingly knowledgeable of the forest.

7. The Team
