I'm not with the forest department (Phew!) but a PhD student working on wildlife in Arunachal. I spend most of the year in field, and this blog has some of my earlier experiences in Mizoram and Garo Hills too. If you look around, you'll find plenty of travels, travails and rants ;-) I definitely recommend this http://thoughtsinthefield.blogspot.in/2009/05/you-will-snap.htmlDawgmatixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10675093691147784008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741942437820856270.post-58139658962731470972013-10-01T22:39:01.765+05:302013-10-01T22:39:01.765+05:30about your* travels/travails. about your* travels/travails.

I have a masters degree in Botany from Nagpur hoping to get to work on Bamboos and it's economical importance. <br />My friend Ivory from Saiha has been following your research work and ask me to have a view of some of some of your blogs (actually most of your blogs!). <br />One link leads to another and here i am wanting to know more about your research. Please, keep on on updating your blog as we (Ivory & I) read each and every updated items. <br />There's one confusion though! Whenever, we read your blogs, we are always confused whether your name is Nimesh Ved or Anirban Datta Roy?<br />Is there any social network where we could follow each other.. for e.g, facebook/orkut/myspace/twitter, etc. <br />lastly, i love what you are doing and your love for nature. Hope to see you in Mizoram again soon...<br /><br />xoxo,<br />RickyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14807913276303528359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741942437820856270.post-22472246510128156912009-09-27T22:26:31.216+05:302009-09-27T22:26:31.216+05:30hey itti, thanks for the comments.. glad to see yo...hey itti, thanks for the comments.. glad to see you on the ID boat! will surely give that paper a dekko soon!
