Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife. \in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase,\
