Like writer-journalist Jon Mooallem wrote in Wild Ones , I too have been finding nature in the oddest of places. This, especially so during this long-drawn-out pandemic, while I remained mostly holed up in one of the most nature-unfriendly cities in the world (if I may say so). Bears have appeared on my pyjamas, which I have refused to get out of as the pandemic stretched on and on. Tigers are seen on the tip of my toothbrush. Elephants and sloths roam the wild in the animated movie I keep playing in a loop because it s comforting. In terms of actual wildlife, though, I have seen the occasional Lesser Golden-backed Woodpecker.
