jim corbett " a narrow escape "

Never underestimate an elephant's speed. this was the lesson from our narrow escape from the charging elephants at Jim Corbett. The four of us Myself - Manaswi Jain , Sameer Pandey, Amit Mishra and of course Shekher Sharma who was seated ahead were totally oblivious of the danger the Beautuful and harmless looking family of elephants could pose. When we saw the herd we looked for a male who could pose danger as usually the males are aggressive. Finding no males in the herd ( a grown up tusker of course) we thought the road ahead will be safe as the herd was about 50 feets from the road and comprised of females and babies. They were behaving normal till we started to move. The herd suddenly took our notice and probably sensing danger from us decided to deal with us. Maybe it was miscalculation on our part that we moved ahead but once the start was made there was no stoping. Frantic shouts and calls in our Gypsy with instructions to the driver ( Mashrool himself afraid to the core) flying from everybody is everything that came in the next few seconds. The nearest elephant missed us by  2 seconds ( sameer claims it to be 1 second) . The video is there for you to judge . Enjoy !!!.  Another lesson. All elephants can be dangerous if they decide to have free style wrestling match with you.!!!
