Books written by Dr. sheelwant patel

Dr. Sheelwant Patel Dr. Sheelwant Patel, pen name P. Sheelwant, has been an insurance seller, a forester, an environmentalist, and a researcher. He has authored two books ? one on soil-environment conservation and the other on medicines from trees. He has climbed the Himalayas, stalked killer elephants in jungles, and halted in many a haunted halting house in the hilly Himalayan wilderness. He has come across many an apparition, later to be found out to be funny aural hallucinations. Yet, he can?t stop his hair from rising at their ends if he bumps in close proximity of a wall lizard! A docudrama based on his narrative about a devout Muslim?s intense love for elephant, a living deity of Hindus, has won a national award for the best documentary on environment conservation. He lives in Mumbai with his wife and two extraordinary kids, now grownup, one an animator and the other a film maker.
