Monsoon - India's god of life is a fascinating chronicle of how the wild animals of India cope with the hardship of summer and how the arrival of the monsoon transforms their lives and the land they live in. The monsoon is a great benefactor that replenishes water and rejuvenates the land. But sometimes it can also overwhelm with its abundance, unleashing floods that cause death and destruction. In India's far north east, the rare great Indian rhinoceros lives on a flood plain that swings between the extremes of too little water ... and too much. Lying to the south of the great Brahmaputra river, the rhino's home is literally reshaped by the force of every monsoon. As the summer advances, and the waterholes shrink, the normally solitary rhinos are forced together into tiny wallows to escape the heat. The days drag on with little respite and tempers flare as the great beasts jostle for space. When the summer monsoon finally arrives after weeks of anticipation, it makes its first landfall not in the north east, but at the tip of southern India.

 

We organized this summit last year – for the very first time! Back then, it was only for dudes in China … and it was (quite aptly) called the “China Lair Summit” It was crazy (like every first time is!!) … but after spending lots of time and energy putting it together … we realized it was a really valuable thing to do. Actually, it was the many testimonials we received in the mail after that convinced us to repeat it again. So this year, we are going at it again …… only we’re making it BIGGER and BETTER!
