The bravest of them all ..

A pic that stands testimony to the legendary(??) strength of Ritesh . From a very young age Ritesh started playing with animals (what I won't tell you is that , for clicking this photo , my parents had to tell me umpteen times that the bear wouldn't eat me up .. even then , I proposed that I would stand near the bear only if the trainer was near me to protect me from the bear's clutches .. umm .. not that I'm afraid or anything , but ..ahem .. just in case.. ) . Featured in this photo are Kanu the bear( and if I had to point that to you ..) , the trainer bhaiyya , Ritesh and cute , young Dinesh .

Incidentally the park that you can see in the background is the one infront of my house . Boy , has it changed *wink*
