With some of us, like some of us for as long as I remember.
Even as a child, among all the things we studied in science, this was one subject that caught my attention and my imagination.
Birds traveling thousands, thousands of kilometers.
Forests, mountains, oceans from one part of the world to another.
Where? How? Wow.
How do they know which direction to take? Where do they stop? How do they come back? As kids, we had those questions.
And in fact, at some point I was so fascinated.

He's one of the India's celebrated ornithologists.
Imagine that, it was just, oh.
And I just didn't want to know how they migrated.
I wanted to learn from someone who had spent his life studying them.
And of course, as you grow older, you learn those answers through science.
