About the Author
Abhishek is not known for writing books, which is an acceptable state of affairs given that this is his first book. Abhishek loves taking flights - flights to new places to travel, and more often, flights of fancy. Once such flight took him to Tanzania, where his encounter with the inimitable wildebeest served as the genesis of this story. The rest, as he says, is this book.
