After the October 7 attacks, Israel imposed a complete siege on Gaza, blocking food, water and medicine, before eventually allowing some deliveries
I am currently reading Tiger Fire: 500 Years of the Tiger in India by Valmik Thapar. My interest in these majestic animals - and the genre of books based on them - developed after a visit to the Satpura Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh, India. My wife, Cynthia, and two lovely friends, Karn and Rajika (who we actually befriended during our MP trip), played a pivotal role in igniting this passion in me. This interest continues with our next visit to Jim Corbett National Park - the oldest national park in India and home to the rare Royal Bengal Tiger.
