In Ranthambore, I met a tiger on the prowl <br />Who said to me, indeed without any rancour or a growl <br />‘Hey man! Why don’t you please get out of my way! <br />For I am quite hungry and am in the lookout of a prey.’ <br /> <br /> <br />But, on seeing the tiger, you know, my heart was in my mouth <br />Though greatly terrified, I could not even dare to shout. <br />The tiger, maybe on seeing my plight, decided get out of my sight <br />My perception about him changed and I saw him in a new light. <br /> <br /> <br />(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.)<br /><br />Rajesh Thankappan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tiger-a-misunderstood-animal/
