Land of Tide, Tiger and Tourists

If you go to Sunderbans thinking the sightings will be as glorious as the African Savannah or the orchestrated tiger shows of Kanha, you will return highly disappointed. I saw two kingfishers, three deers, two boars, half a crocodile and week old tiger pug marks. This post is not about sightings of wild animals, but if you believe travel can be about a lot more only then read on.
This trip was actually of my dad’s friend circle during his bachelor days along with the families. While it’s great to go with such a large group, the problem is most people have different priorities in life, each of which very justified. For some it was more important to spend time drinking with old friends, for some getting up at 5 AM on a holiday was blasphemy, while for some like my mother and me sitting in the resort was unbearable and we used to want to be out on the boat any time every time.
However let me not tell a story here but just describe a few things and you can try and put the rest together in your mind.
