2. TIME TO GO WILD
SUBSCRIBE to the Kunzum Magazine and access earlier issues at http://kunzum.com/mag
Thank you everyone for an overwhelming response to the previous issue of
the Kunzum Magazine – relaunched after a gap of more than a year with a
new look and feel. We are loving putting the fortnightly together, more so
when our readers give such a positive thumbs up!
And it is now time to go wild. Only because National Parks in India are due
to open soon. Some will open by October 1, while most others would open
by 16th of the same month. Post monsoons, these forests are a paradise in
themselves. As if fresh from a long slumber and a reinvigorating
shower, the hues of green are at their brightest and thickest. Lakes, rivers and
waterfalls are full of water from the rains – and this year we have had more
than a normal dose of precipitation. The landscape looks nothing short of
stunning at this time of the year.
Of course, when the forest cover is heavy, it also means animals and birds
get a better camouflage and sightings can sometimes be difficult. But don’t
let that deter you. Well planned safaris mean you will spot enough birds and
animals. And there will always be sights and sounds you may not get at other
times of the year.
Where should you go? My personal favourites (in rough order of
preference) are Kaziranga in Assam, Satpura in Madhya Pradesh,
Ranthambhore in Rajasthan, Gir in Gujarat, Bandhavgarh, Panna and Kanha in
Madhya Pradesh, and Bandipur and Bhadra in Karnataka. Of course, there are
many more I have not visited personally, and these have not been included
here.
We travel. Join us in our journeys. What would you rather do?

5. COVER STORY04
AJAY JAIN
Personally, elephants are one of my favourite animals.
They always have been, but they truly won my heart when they put on an unbelievable
show in the Manas National Park in the north-eastern state of Assam of India. More about
it later.
Elephants have always been a part of the lives of Indians going back to the time of
mythologies.They have been domesticated, and deployed in battlefields.They have
entertained in circuses and fairs, used for joy rides, and served as vehicles for transporting
people and goods alike.They roam in the wild, and are employed by temples for
ceremonies.They are shot for their ivory tusks, and revered as manifestations of Elephant
God Ganesha.
Elephants make for great friends but you need to be wary of their anger and mood
swings; but it sure takes a lot to provoke an elephant.They may be big, but are
vegetarians and mostly gentle. Except the male tuskers - especially when they are on
heat!
Join me on this elephant ride.

The Games Elephants Play
This will go down as probably the best moment of all my travels. Set-
ting out early to spot wildlife and birds at the Manas National Park in
north-eastern state of Assam in India, I came across a herd of elephants
on a dirt track about 50 metres away from me. Initially they seemed just
like a couple till I realized they were a full herd – and hidden in the trees
and foliage around the track. And what do I see?
They kept coming in and out of the greenery, from babies to giant male
members. And all seemed in a jovial mood. They were playing together,
pushing each other into the bushes, climbing on top of the other and
engaging in friendly duels. I could have watched them for hours – you
rarely see such sights.
A bit of feel good? I showed these images to one of the best known
conservationists in the world – and he admitted he has never seen such
sights himself in 30 years.
Come, join the elephants in their games.
TravelTips: Manas National Park is a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site and one of the best
wildlife reserves in India. Best visited from September to March.

When Elephants Bathe
in Manas National Park
Elephants love water - their bodies can do with any
amount of bathing. You can imagine the size of
bathtubs required! It is fascinating to watch them
being scrubbed. Here are a few shots of a pair of
elephants out for a bath in the Manas National
Park. They are not wild - they belong to the forest
department. And hence spoiled too - they need some-
one to scrub them.

When a Wild Male Tusker on heat creates havoc in
Nepal
If there is one elephant you have to beware of in the forest, it is the wild male tusker. He is feared by
all - including other elephants. There is no one to beat this beast - he is the true king of the jungle.
He is at his moody worst during the mating season. I saw it for myself on, believe it or not, on
Valentine’s Day in the Chitwan National Park in Nepal. I was staying at the famed Tiger Tops when
I noticed a lot of animated excitement amongst the staff. A wild male tusker had sauntered in through
the driveway, hung around the lawns for a bit and then proceeded to the elephant stables. The
staff was worried: it was mating season, and this tusker had a reputation for bad behavior. And he
seemed lonely on this day of romantics – he was out looking for a ‘female friend’ said one of the
mahouts. Looks like the wild females did not fancy him and he had to settle for a domesticated one.
I was excitedly clicking pictures, but was repeatedly warned to be careful. All attempts to ‘shoo’ him
away came to naught – the fellow was teasing everyone by walking around. And then, as if drunk
and without warning, he proceeded to smash a few staff quarters. This may have been ‘orgasmic’
enough for him – he eventually walked away without a date. For his own reasons. Had he chosen to,
he could have made an even bigger mess – and a dozen tame elephants would have been no match.

Joining Elephants in their
Bathrooms in Dubare
Elephant Camp
This may be a pet elephant facility but a visit to the Dubare
Elephant Camp in Coorg in the southern Indian state of
Karnataka is a must.
The camp is home to elephants of all ages, from babies to
grand-daddies. At around 9, they come out of their quar-
ters and head for the water pool for their daily bath. Be
careful when they come down: some amble, but some run.
You don’t want to be in the way.
You can watch them from the sides, or step into the water
and give them a scrub yourself. A good idea is to be wear-
ing shorts; take off the shoes too when in the water. Mind
the stones below - and tread carefully lest you slip. Once in,
you will feel you are in a bathroom for elephants.
What is disappointing are the chains on the elephants -
guess these are important for safety reasons. After the
bath, you can go feed the elephants or take a short ride on
one. But these are not as much fun as the bath.
Travel Tips: You can go there as a day visitor or as a guest at
the accommodation run by Jungle Lodges and Resorts.To have
real fun, be at the camp by 9:00 a.m. - else don’t bother going.
The best part is watching and giving elephants a bath.

Stay clear, this is the fire brigade. Some

One guy’s bathtub is another one’s
toilet seat. Elephants don’t know the
difference between a bathtub and a
toilet seat - they allow their poop to
drop where they are. You can be sure
you are stepping on some. Hehe!
Wash your feet with soap later.

I had been told to watch out for elephants on
the highways around Bandipur National Park
in Karnataka. And I did see some small groups.
The most fascinating was one caught in my
headlights. I stopped and watched as she
got closer, crossed the front of my car and
then pressed her forehead against the
front passenger seat - curious what this
thing was. I am told elephants have poor
night vision. She stayed like that for a bit,
and went on her way again. Awesome
meeting! Wonder if a more aggressive
specimen would have behaved differently?
Unlikely.

24. Sony Xperia Z Ultra
Size DOES Matter!
NIMISH DUBEY
What makes it special?
Its size. And design. Yes, the Xperia Z Ultra does pack in some very good specs- includ-
ing a 2.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 2 GB RAM, and 16 GB onboard storage
(expandable by 64 GB using a microSD card) - but what hits you (and‘hits’is the word) is
its sheer size. It sports a massive 6.4 inch full HD display, which makes it over half a foot
long. And yet at 6.5mm, it is also one of the thinnest phones we have and at just over 200
grammes, light for its size. No, it won’t fit your hand at all. But you will feel like touching it.
How well does it work?
As an ultraportable Android tablet, very well. As a phone, not quite as well. The Ultra’s size
is its asset and liability - yes, the large screen is awesome for videos and Web browsing
and is great for gaming too (that processor ensures zippy performance), but it simply is
too big for one handed use.
What’s not so great about it?
The size factor apart (it does not fit easily in trouser pockets), we were a bit let down by
the 8.0-megapixel camera on the device. It does not handle colours as well as we
expected and even details tended to be washed out.
Should you buy it?
If budget is not an issue and you want a large display device for browsing the Web, mail
and entertainment purposes, then the Ultra is a very good option. In our book, it was an
excellent tablet. But as a large display phone? Ah well, it honestly is too big.
Traveller’s Quotient
It has a great display. Is very portable for a tablet. Is dust proof and water resistant. And camera apart, it
works a treat as a tablet.What more could a traveller ask for?
Also consider
If you are looking for a tablet alternative, we would suggest considering the iPad with Retina Display,
which has a better display and more apps. But if you want to stick with Android, try out Sony’s own Xperia
ZTablet, which comes with a larger display and similar design.Want a large screen phone with similar
resistance to water and dust?Try Sony’s own Xperia Z, which has a slightly better camera and is available
for Rs 37,500.

25. Nokia Lumia 925
What makes it special?
Remember the Nokia Lumia 920 that was launched last year and was hailed as the most
innovative phone of them all, but took flak for its slightly bulky design? The 925 fixes that flaw
with an uber sleek and slim design with metallic sides, and throws an AMOLED display into
the mix, while largely sticking to the very solid hardware that made the 920 rock.
How well does it work?
Quite brilliantly. The Lumia 920 was one of our favourite Windows Phone devices and the 925
is a very worthy successor, adding a classy appearance to what was already very good
hardware, and decent software. Sound quality is very good and onboard apps include MS
Office and Internet Explorer. And yes, it takes amazing low light images.
What’s not so great about it?
Well, if you are the type that likes to download and try out stacks of apps, then the Lumia 925
is not for you - Windows Phone 8 just does not have the kind of apps that iOS and Android do.
Some might also not be too pleased at the absence of expandable storage - you are pretty
much limited to the 16GB onboard.
Should you buy it?
If what you are looking for is a very good high-end smartphone that looks sleek as well and
have a budget of under Rs 35,000, then this is perhaps your best option, especially given the
quality of the display and the camera.
Traveller’s Quotient
The Lumia 925 is an excellent option for travellers. It looks classy, and although it is slippery thanks to the
smooth metallic sides, it is solid enough to take a few falls. A decent camera, free music for a year and free
maps for a lifetime (as with all Nokia Lumia devices) - and maps that can work without a cellular connection at
that - round off what is a very good device indeed for those on the move.
Also consider
If you preferWindows Phone, then the Lumia 925’s predecessor, the Lumia 920, is a good option, with largely
similar specs and greater onboard storage. It is retailing for Rs 30,990, when we last checked. It is a bit bulkier,
but brings most of all that is good on the 925. If you are looking for Android in and around the same budget,
try the Lenovo K900, which has a much bigger display but an excellent camera and rock solid build as well.

26. Music for the Road by NIMISH DUBEY

THE CIVIL WARS
The Civil Wars
Rs. 150 (from iTunes)
Think‘folk’and the mind conjures up images of people sitting around a fire and con-
juring up gentle tunes. Well, Joy Williams and John Paul White have different notions
of the word. The duo, better known as The Civil Wars, surprised the world by getting
nominated for a Grammy for the Best Country Duo/Group Performance last year,
and won accolades for their ability to mix rage with what’s basically a gentle genre
of music, generating a sound that some brand‘alternative.’And they certainly have
not got lost their touch in their second album - although they are not supposed to
be on talking terms with each other. Yes,‘Same Old Same Old,’ ‘Dust to Dust’and
‘Eavesdrop’do seem classic folk/country with melody blending with melancholy in a
gentle mix.
But then you also have numbers like‘Devil’s Backbone’which begins with Joy Wil-
liams singing a mournful chant that seems right out Led Zeppelin territory,‘The One
That Got Away’that has an edge to it that rock acts would kill for, and the dramatic‘I
Had Me a Girl’that borders on rock. Yes, the duo stick to gentler sounds more often
than not, but what marks this album as special is the incredibly good instrumen-
tation, marked by some superb guitaring, notably in tracks like‘Disarm’and‘Secret
Heart,’backed up by singing that borders on the magnificent.
All of which makes The Civil Wars well worth a listen. Truth be told, we like them
when they get a bit angst-y, but even when in more traditional mode, their voices
and music strike chords in one’s ears and heart. We sure hope they start talking to
each other again. Meanwhile, thankfully, we have the option of listening to them.
Traveller’s Quotient
Those who have not heard this brand of folk/country music might take some time to get used to it,
especially on numbers like‘I Had Me a Girl.’Give it time, however, and it will grow on you. Just don’t
expect it to set your feet tapping. Lady Antebellum they ain’t!

PARADISE VALLEY
John Mayer
Rs. 150 (from iTunes)
He started out with a soft rock sound with elements of blues and pop
seeping in from time to time. But of late, John Mayer seems to have gone folk
and country with a vengeance.‘Born and Raised’last year showed him more
at home with gently twanging guitars and mournful harmonicas, eschewing
‘edgy’sound, and‘Paradise Valley’carries that tradition forward. Not that we
are complaining, for the man does sing a soft song well.
We found ourselves smiling gently at the opening‘Wildfire,’just loved his
mellow take on the late JJ Cale’s legendary‘Call Me the Breeze,’and well, all
those who live melody with a gentle peppy sound will love the typically gentle
pace of‘You’re No One‘til Someone Lets You Down.’Not that it always works -
‘Dear Marie’and‘Waitin on the Day’tended to grate a bit with their element of
slow self-pity, and‘Paper Doll’peters out after after a sharp start. The piece de
resistance of the set however is the duet between Mayer and his ex Katy Perry,
who cast a magical spell in the steady yet slow Who You Love.
Mayer’s still in country territory. And while the purist in us would wish for a
few chords struck in anger from time to time, the music lovin’part of us does
not mind him in mellow mode either.
Traveller’s Quotient
If you like your music to play quietly and unobtrusively while you focus on your road, then Paradise
Valley is a very good option for you. It won’t jolt your senses, but will hum away pleasantly in your
eyes.

Scott and Amundsen: The Last Place on Earth
Roland Huntford
622 pages
Rs. 499 (onAmazonKindleathttp://www.amazon.in/Scott-And-Amundsen-Place-ebook/dp/B008Q0DK4O/)
NIMISH DUBEY
In 1911-12, two teams participated in what was perhaps one of the most tragic races
in human history. The target was to be the first to reach the South Pole. On one side
was a team led by Robert Scott of the British Royal Naxy and on the other, one lead
by Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer. They took different routes, used different
methods, but had the same idea – to be the first to plant their flag on the Pole.
For weeks, they trudged through the snow across the barren continent of Antarcti-
ca. Both teams would reach the pole, but Scott and his teammates would not make
it back, trapped as they were by bad weather and perhaps, poor planning. And it
is this race that is captured in telling detail in Roland Huntford in The Last Place of
Earth. Huntford delves deep into the lives of both Scott and Amundsen, and unlike
many biographers, refuses to be dazzled by their heroism.
Which is what makes this book such compelling reading. As the two men battle to
the Pole, Huntford describes their journeys with great narrative skill. You can feel the
cold wind howling in the air, and taste the despair that Scott must have felt when he
realized that he and his men would not make it back. The book has attracted a fair
deal of controversy for its criticism of Scott and his methods, but we would still put
it right there among the greatest books we have ever read.
Traveller’s Quotient
An excellent companion for travellers, we think, as it captures the excitement of one of the
most spectacular and tragic events in human history.Yes, it is thick, but you will be feverishly
turning pages to find out what happens next.

BOOK REVIEW
The Top Gear Years
Jeremy Clarkson
524 pages
Rs. 347 (onAmazonKindleathttp://www.amazon.in/The-Top-Gear-Years-ebook/dp/B0097JYUH4/)
NIMISH DUBEY
Although he is best known as the slightly eccentric and extremely outspoken host of
arguably the most popular TV show on cars, Top Gear, not too many people know that
Jeremy Clarkson can wield a pretty wicked pen too. His writing is every bit as cynical and
hilarious as his TV show hosting, and he has written a number of books (eleven when we
last counted), including the hilarious‘The World According to Clarkson’series. That apart, he
has also been a regular contributor to Top Gear magazine for almost two decades now.
The Top Gear Years is a collection of Clarkson’s best for Top Gear magazine, right from 1993
to 2011 (why not 2012/13, we wonder, as the book’s paperback edition hit India in 2013,
but then publishers can be odd!) and well, it is a laugh riot, even if you do not like cars
particularly. For this is Clarkson at his venomous, hilarious and politically incorrect best.
“Would I rather be governed by a bunch of German bankers? What? Instead of Tony Bloody
Blair? Too damn right I would,”he declares while writing about the Rover in 2006.
Yes, most of the writing is about cars but it is also about what Clarkson feels, and that for
us, is what makes the book special. Read it, and you will find yourself laughing a fair bit and
shaking your head in wonder at how Clarkson manages to say what he does. And of course,
bless him for saying so.
Traveller’s Quotient
Very high.Yes, even if you do not like cars.The book is a collection of relatively small, inde-
pendent pieces, so you can open it at any place, read a bit and laugh a lot.There are not too
many books about which we can say that!

31. FOR PICTURES
THAT SAY
‘HERE I AM’!
At one level, there seems to be nothing special about InstaPlace, an app available
for Android and iOS phones. Some might say it only adds the name of a place to your
photographs, and a few words from you.
Fair enough. But it is HOW it does that that makes the app so irresistible.
In simple terms, all you need to do is take a picture - you can shoot one from
within the app, or just select an existing one from your gallery. The app will
try to guess your current location and place it on the picture. If you are happy
enough with that, go right ahead. You can also change the location using the
select place option - the app uses data from FourSquare and Facebook.
That done, the app then displays the location on your picture, not as a small
caption, but in large letters, creating a pretty stunning effect, we think. There
are a number of preset captions based on food and drink, travel, holidays, etc.,
and you can also add some words of your own, if necessary. As if that were not
enough you can even take a picture and slap how far you are from your destina-
tion on top of it.
And of course, you can share you pictures with the locations emblazoned on
them on social networks, over mail and so on.“Only”adds location to your pic-
tures, eh? Well, we still think it is a must have for travellers who take snaps with
their handsets. You can get it for Rs 110 from Google Play or the iTunes App
Store or put up with some ads and go for a free version.

32. BEAT THIS,
INSTAGRAM!
NIMISH DUBEY
When it comes to editing using‘filters’- those layers that
are placed over photographs to change their appearance
totally - Instagram is considered to be the best option by
many users. We would beg to differ. Yes, it certainly is very
good and simple to use and its huge community of users
add a social element to it which perhaps even Flickr cannot
match.
But if all you are looking for are filters that can put a spin on your photographs,
then we would ask you to give Autodesk’s Pixlr-o-matic a try. It has many more
filters than Instagram - Instagram has slightly over a dozen, this one has dozens,
and what’s more throws a number of frames and effects into the mix as well. And
all this, without - please note - compromising the resolution of the image itself.
The result: you have literally hundreds of permutations and combinations to play
around with. And all of very good quality - hey, the app comes from the legendary
Autodesk, known for its engineering and 3D design software. Yes, it has no
community around it like Instagram does, and might seem more complicated to
some. But for us, what really counts is the fact that it lets us tweak images
spectacularly without too much fuss.
Definitely worth trying out, not least because well, it costs nothing.

Zipping around the world on business sounds glamorous, but can be quite
taxing. Dealing with red-eye flights, airline food, jetlag and negotiations when
you may not necessarily be at your optimal self is not easy - especially so with
males who expect that a CEO should be a man! Preparing yourself for the
business trip is thus very important. A few tips:
* Understand the business protocol and customs of the country
you’re headed to.
* Learn to greet your business host in his or her language and never
be late to a meeting.
* Print your business cards in English on one side and in the language
of the host country on the other.
* Dress appropriately; dress down, not up. Wear light make-up; you
want business contacts to concentrate on your message - not on
how attractive you are.
* Be gracious and not offended if you’re seated separately with women
at meals, it’s just the culture in some countries.
* Get enough sleep, hydrate, avoid alcohol; if you want to clinch the
deal, you’d better be sharp not fuzzy-headed.
* Try to find hotels that are women friendly or have women-only floors.
* Even the lightest laptop bag gets heavy when you’re zipping
through airports. So buy one on wheels that can hold your laptop
with one set of clothes, makeup and important meeting files.
* Finally, I always take a bathing suit and shorts along. One never
knows when you get a few hours to relax and explore.
