“A massive tusker stopped suddenly, turned to look in our direction and without warning charged towards us. General panic ensued. And after a few excited screams and shouts the vehicles quickly changed gears into reverse and started to back.”

“They that ask, are never asked. Why ? They that accuse, are never accused. Why ? In a liberal free and fair democracy, it cannot be tolerated, that one section of society remains above question. It cannot be tolerated that for petty commercial gain, you will be the masters of a medium that shall destroy reputation and renown at will and without authority.”

[I know families should share everything but even close shaves with elephants?!
Yes it isn’t Haathi mere Saathi with elephants all the time! One learns this the hard way..
If you’ll permit some morbidity here’s an interesting piece all about execution by way of elephants:

[I think this blog has been a great platform for you to critique the media and indeed question those used to questioning! Beyond this and as I've suggested many times before the only way to discipline many of these outlets is to deny them access to yourself if they indulge in such deliberate negativity. One should obviously separate legitimate criticism from character assassination. But there is no reason why an outlet that chooses the latter should continue to enjoy the privilege of interviews with a star and so forth. This would also have a chastening effect on others who would think of doing the same. ]
