Javed was an amazing experience. We landed at Nalsarovar in Feb 20019. The place was completely deserted and dried up. We were wondering if we had reached the right address, since it was in complete contrast to what we had heard about Nalsarovar. And then late in the evening Javed appeared. When I first saw him, I thought I am being taken for a ride. He was such an unassuming character. But then he rattled off the possibility of sightings as if he had studied the bird behaviors for ages and knew exactly when, where, what could be sighted.
So next day early in the morning off we went with Javed for a day long experience. End of the trip I must say, my respect for this young lad grew immensely.
I am pretty sure, with a little bit of luck (I mean rains in the region), he would be a very busy guide/naturalist. God bless you Javed.
