Gripping encounters with wildlife is the heart and soul of the book.
Such thrilling situations include a dozen wild boars congregating just a few feet away from the author, a leopard crouching at hand-shaking distance under his machaan, a leopard killing a bullock very near the author's bed, a loner gaur about to stamp on him while he was sleeping out, a visit to a tiger's den, following a tiger on foot, a ferocious charge by a sloth bear, the ruthless whistling hunters on a kill, and so on.
