The best bit about being at college is being there with all the other students. Taking part in all the activities. You'll be able to go rafting again :-)

Jack Rod

John Rennie

:-( Are you better now?

Jack Rod

9:09 AM

yes

John Rennie

Good :-)

Jack Rod

and mom too was not there

I was alone attended classes

and gone to sleep around 11 am I woked up gone to a restra

John Rennie

I think I would find studying at home, alone, very hard.

Jack Rod

and there something unusual happened

can I share that?

John Rennie

Yes, what happened?

Jack Rod

9:15 AM

restra owner was getting bit franked with me I ordered the food xx and he had asked me to wait for some time to get it packed

(I am in jaipur)

after few minutes he comes to me asked where do i live,

I did answer those question but i gave false information to him

since morning I am getting irritated with his franked question

John Rennie

Why false information? Just because you were annoyed?

Jack Rod

@JohnRennie yes

John Rennie

OK :-)

Jack Rod

restra

John Rennie

Maybe he was just trying to be friendly.

Jack Rod

9:19 AM

except my dad name I said everything lie

John Rennie

OK ...

Jack Rod

is it natural to ask such question

or he had some intentional goals behind it

John Rennie

It's hard to see what harm his questions could do.

Jack Rod

ok I think I developed the habit of overthinking

sir do u know about jim corbett?

@JohnRennie

John Rennie

It does seem a bit odd that he suddenly started asking questions, but he could just have been trying to be friendly.

This guy:

Jim Corbett

Jim Corbett (25 July 1875 – 19 April 1955) was a British hunter, tracker, naturalist, and author who hunted a number of man-eating tigers and leopards in India. He held the rank of colonel in the British Indian Army and was frequently called upon by the Government of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, now the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, to kill man-eating tigers and leopards that were preying on people in the nearby villages of the Kumaon-Garhwal Regions. He authored Man-Eaters of Kumaon, Jungle Lore, and other books recounting his hunts and experiences, which enjoyed...

@JohnRennie all alone

John Rennie

I must admit I don't feel any great enthusiasm to see a tiger. At least not unless it was behind a fence in a zoo! :-)

Jack Rod

dikala zone is like there no connection between us and outisde world no phone nothing

John Rennie

OK, well it's you that they will be eating not me :-)

Jack Rod

John Rennie

It sounds a lot of fun though.

Jack Rod

John Rennie

I remember you saying you had been on lots of expeditions into the desert in Rajasthan.

Jack Rod

yes

it is fun to be in environment where u are close to the very nature

John Rennie

I used to go walking a lot when I was younger.

Our nature reserves are a lot smaller than in India, but they are still fun to walk in.

I've got a bit old for walking up mountains these days :-)

Jack Rod

9:41 AM

yes

@JohnRennie what about u sir,it is been a long time you shared anything?

John Rennie

Things have been back to normal in the UK since the summer, so life is just normal these days.

Jack Rod

i heard there is another spike in europe

in belarus i guess

John Rennie

There are still cases of covid in the UK, but most people are vaccinated now so very few people are getting a serious infection. There are few deaths now.

I still wear a mask when I go out, but lots of people don't bother with a mask any more.

If you travel on train you still have to wear a mask.

Jack Rod

did u write some answer on se recently

John Rennie

I don't answer many questions these days because I spend all my time coaching JEE students.

Jack Rod

9:49 AM

John Rennie

Do you have a firm date yet for going back to college?

Jack Rod

I will depart before 27dec

John Rennie

OK, still six weeks then.

Jack Rod

yes

but corbett is fixed

John Rennie

When are you going to the forest?

Jack Rod

9:55 AM

I will be out in three days

John Rennie

Ok, going soon!

So if I never hear from you again I'll assume you did meet a tiger :-)

Jack Rod

please sir!!!

do not let that happen

John Rennie

I'm sure it won't.

Jack Rod

I will be on jeep not walking

John Rennie

Ah, so the tiger wouldn't be able to get you anyway. And I assume there is a guide who will know if it's getting dangerous.

Jack Rod

9:59 AM

yes

John Rennie

It does sound like a lot of fun :-)

Jack Rod

i have a very small vlog if u like i can hsare how it look like
