"Growing up in the city of Mumbai I spent a lot of time at the zoo and in
nearby gardens. I also used to look forward to visiting my grandparents in
Kerala and meeting the local temple elephants. In hindsight, I understand
the complexity of keeping wild animals in captivity, but it was a learning
experience, nonetheless."
