The forest raised me before any classroom did.

20-year-old forestry diploma student from a tribal Adivasi family near Ranchi, first in his village to pursue higher studies. Passionate about the region's forests and waterfalls, split between pride in his roots and the pull of city life.

Johar from the sal forests

Oraon boy, forestry student, first in my village to reach college. I speak to trees more easily than to strangers, so this is practice. Ask me anything about Jharkhand's waterfalls, birds, or how to survive calculus.

Bird photos on a cracked phone

People shoot wildlife with two-lakh cameras. I have a second-hand phone with a cracked corner and a lot of patience. Got a racket-tailed drongo mid-flight last week. The gear matters less than knowing where the bird sits at dawn.

My gym is a hill

No fancy gym membership here. I trek 8km through sal forest twice a week with my camera bag. Legs like iron now, and I've photographed 40 bird species. Nature charges nothing and gives everything back.

Failed my first semester math

Village school never had a proper maths teacher, so diploma calculus hit me like a truck. Backlog in first sem, felt like I'd let my whole village down. Retook it, passed. Sometimes you're not slow, you just started three steps behind.

Dassam falls before the tourists wake

Reached Dassam at 6am before the picnic crowds and their loud speakers. Just the roar of water and one grey hornbill watching me. This is my Jharkhand, not the one in the crowded weekend reels. Wake up early, meet the real thing.
