The new recorded version of this incredible tale was a long time coming. As so many listeners have pointed out in the comments, the audio and the narration quality of the previous version of this story featured on this channel is not at par and leaves a lot to be desired and I totally agree with that assessment. Hopefully, this new improved audio version will remedy the issue. Thank you!
Thank you
This version is much improved qualitatively...
You are now my favorite reader of audiobooks...but...
I thought you were excellent the very first time I heard your voice...Mr. Singh, you have achieved master craftsmanship with this re-read...🙏
It may have been different, or "lower quality" to some; but YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THIS: Those are peoples opinions, and it's easy to take constructive criticism the wrong way. Hopefully there weren't any bad intentions in those opinions. Even if there were, you should realize that they are saying those things from behind their keyboards and anonymously. None of the people who said anything are content creators, and I'm almost positive that no one who listens to your narrations could come anywhere close to doing it better than you. It's easy to misinterpret constructive criticism, and I just wanted to make sure that you didn't. YOU'RE AWESOME, and if anyone speaks negatively of you or your work, IGNORE THEM. They're either jealous, mean, or just plain dumb. You have a gift, don't EVER let anyone's words keep you from sharing it with the world. Thank you again A
@@jamess3241 He felt he needed to re-do it. It's not a matter of people being dumb or jealous. The content creator can tell the volume was low, and not up to his standards. The Champawat tiger was recorded in his earliest endeavors. There is no need to downgrade his loyal listeners of which I am one. You can tell the difference in the audio quality. He says this himself. I appreciate this effort, he is my favorite channel on UA-cam. Go in peace.
@@monicahaymes4361 Amen...
I listen to your reading of these Corbett stories every night I am out in hunting camp. Really, I am a fan of your reading style and found nothing wrong or disconcerting with the original recording. It all sounded so very authentic. Bravo. I will listen to this one today while I work.
So happy to read this! Thank you John!
I still read the books of Jim Corbett with the same enthusiasm as I did while reading for the first time
Hats off to the people who have made audio 👌👌✌️🖐🏿🖐🏿🖐🏿🖐🏿
Thank you
I love about Jim Corbetts written was the paranormal experiences he had like screams coming from a village where he knew no man was in several times and the famous lights over a mountain. He never goes into detail on these he simply shares his accounts of what he heard / saw.
Yeah wouldn't we all have loved to have one more book from Mr. Corbett, writing of those experiences you speak about?!
If you are interested in scholarly discussion of the paranormal events in Corbett stories, I suggest you to read the book "Behind Jim Corbett's Stories" available on the internet. There is a Champawat bungalow, the scream from the empty Thak village, lights aver the Purnagiri and many other, plus the photos of the killing sites, and sometimes photos of the living relatives of the man-eater from Kumaon villages.
WOW! One hour of Jim Corbett! Life can't get any better! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Always happy to do more of Mr. Corbett's works.
@@selvalore He's a true gem
Well, I dare say 2 or 3hrs more might increase ".. better" to: ".. more sublime?!"👌- but I take your point!👍😉🫡😁
A valuable addition to the Jim Corbett audio pantheon. This just goes on to show how far you've come from the early days. Thank you good sir!
My pleasure and thank you!
Thank you for the updated version of this ageless classic. Jim Corbett was a fine example of a man. A man of honor! There's a reason his name graces India's first national park.
Thank you for your words! Cheers!
I have always been fascinated by these Indian jungle stories and Jim Corbett remains my favorite author. Thank you Mr. Singh for these digital tributes to the memory and deeds of this great human.
Hear hear! Thats well said and thank you for commenting!
Stories from Jungle reminds me of my childhood Jungle book tv series we used to watch .These are the great stories ever told by any youtubers,you are doing a great work ! Congratulations Apratim for this new amazingly narrated Story !🌺👏
Excellent! Thank you, Manjari!
Bro please don't stop posting new video. I think you yet don't realize how much you meant to all of us. Your clarity and voice have taken true story telling to next level.
Home every thing is good at your end❤
We all agree with everything he said pls come back and I hope their are no troubles on your end!!!
I enjoyed this, I once read a book of man-eaters by Corbett, having been published in 1946 I think, our school library had a copy and I read it in about 1981 or so, never forgot it
Amazing, it is indeed a classic! Thanks for commenting, Mr. Hammonds!
This is my first comment here but it is one of my favourite UA-cam channels. I often tune in when I just want to listen to a story at night. ❤
I appreciate you for saying that, Anand Ji! Thank you for commenting.
Jim Corbett is the closest we have to a dragonslayer in real life
Thank you for bringing these stories to us!
You're very welcome and thanks for the comment!
Had a Leopard in our neighborhood two months back and now a Tiger and a leopard operating in our town called Mhow (Cantonment). Iam a wildlife photographer (Rajiv Gaikwad) , a converted Shikari😊 !!
The first Corbett man hunting tiger story is among the best in jungle lores. Great story beautifully rendered as usual Mr Viraj Singh. Corbett's experience in the night is now legendary..
I look forward to your uploads...
Many thanks.
Love to read your comment. Keep them coming and thank you Mr. Agarwal!
@@selvalore God bless you always for the great job you are doing.
Simply wonderful. After a hard days work I shall savour this new version read by the peerless Mr AV Singh. Your silken voice and perfect pacing cannot be beaten. Thank you
Very kind of you Paul! Thank you for your generous words.
It is a welcome pleasure to find such a fine reading and respect for the history related here and a refreshing to see that today’s values not placed on the values of yesterday … 25:45
Thank you Mr. Gibson!
Your voice is literally the best and I appreciate you editing in animal sounds instead of just leaving it up to our imagination, especially in another video where you talked about how lone jackals cry differently than those in packs and actually played the sound so i didn't have to dig it up myself. You speak so clearly and slow enough I don't miss any words but fast enough I'm not bored, which is a big problem I have with a lot of audiobooks. I really appreciate your content and can't wait to see what you make next :D
Love the username and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you for the comment and support!
Glad to have this story redone. Thank you as always.
Happy to do it too!
I love letting my grandchildren listen to these stories at bed time. You tell them better than anyone, really enjoyable, thanks.
Happy to read this! Thank you for commenting.
Thank you again Apratim. Viewers may also be aware of man-eating tiger(s) currently operating in Pauri Garhwal that has left 2 dead (1 half eaten) and 2 foiled attempts (machan and goat, just as Corbett did 100 years ago) at capturing the 2 tigers believed involved. They think bigger tigers are chasing out the younger tigers (growing population in Corbett National Park....it's beautiful that the population of tigers is increasing so much, but now we have these problems) and they are hungry, starving, and wandering into villages now.
Very interesting! Yes, OJAS in the comments mentioned the same thing. I will need to look this up. And totally agree with that last point.
It's very sad that if Jim Colbert were alive today he wouldn't be allowed to shoot these maneaters he would be astounded by this insanity
Jim Corbett's stories are a treasure trove of jungle lore, natural history and village life in the himalayas. None of these people deserved to die, but to call a tiger that cannot hunt anymore due to injury a maneater is a helluva thing to say, and is blatantly disregarding the fact that this tiger was a victim of human cruelty.
Thanks for the comment, jeffrey! I agree with the first statement ofcourse. To your last point, Corbett himself admits in the preface to the book from which this story is taken from, that a tiger takes to man-killing only due to either an injury from a careless gunshot or old age.
@selvalore thank you for this re-recording and your collection of Junglelore in general. Here is hoping you are doing well. Looking forward to any new Stories you might be able to record.
the original was what led me to your channel. and since then you've only gotten better, i hope you continue with these and your channel grows. because this kind of content is very much needed and amazing.
Thanks for saying that. Much appreciated!
amazing re-recording the quality is so much better!
I just want to tell you, that I very much enjoy your narrations of these amazing stories. Thank you!
Thanks for letting me know Christopher! Glad you like them. All the best!
Corbett placing the skin and head of the tigress in front of the hut of dumb woman was legendary heroic stuff. Feels more grittier than a western movie.
Happy to have the improved version.
As always,thankyou.
Your remarks are much appreciated, Mr. Russell! Thank you
I started listening to you more than an year ago. Thanks for the videos. I grew up in garhwal, the place where most of Corbett's adventures happened. Living away from home, your narration and corbett's writing gives a sense of home. Thanks
Happy to hear this! We are both from the same state. Thank you Manas for taking the time to comment.
Ohh, your accent doesn't give a hint that you were born here. Thought you were 2nd or 3rd gen American.
Recently visited rudraprayag and places reminded me of your narrations, some still remember Corbett there. Anyway cheers to Uttarakhand's heavenly beauty
Your narration does justice to the great Jim Corbett! Keep up the great work! 🐅
I may have read this story before more than once, I also listened to your earlier version but even having done those things did not diminish my enjoyment of this version :)
Always gracious in your comments. I appreciate that. Keep your comments coming and thank you!
Man i miss his narration.. i hope he comee back...☹️
this is a story that can be reread and re-listened to, many a times. Thanks
My pleasure Amitji and thank you for commenting again!
Love your work and content ! Keep up the great work, makes me want to visit India 🖤
That's wonderful to hear. Thank you!
This is what got Jim Corbett noticed and eventually he got approached to hunt more maneaters in an official capacity. Tigers are extraordinary creatures. Terrifyingly powerful and supremely intelligent.
Agreed! Thank you for the comment!
Immortal story! Thank you!
Thanks for your comment Dr. Jordania!
It just occurred to me that you're one of the co-authors of Behind Jim Corbett stories. I have read both volumes piecemeal. The amount of research and acholarship that went into them is admirable. I thought the name sounded familiar but I couldn't quite place it. Well, thanks for sticking around and listening to these audio versions of stories that no doubt you're very familiar with.
I think I can speak for the whole community of avid listeners that we're becoming increasingly aware that it's been several months now since you have posted for us Mr Singh. Undoubtedly you have a busy life with many calls on your valuable time, but I believe I speak for all that we would like nothing more than to have a new story narrated in your peerless fashion as soon as possible. Yours very affectionately and respectfully, Paul Reilly.
Thanks Paul! I'm working on getting back as soon as possible
@@selvalore That's wonderful news, not least to know that you are well. I am merely one amongst many who are eagerly anticipating the next story. It is entirely because of you that I am currently on my second Jim Corbett book.
@@selvalorethank you heavens!! A reply I have been waiting for ❤️❤️
Waiting for a new story I have been listening to the same stories every night and still enjoy it ❤️
Informative and useful post.
Incredible...
As usual topnotch🎉👍🏻 Eagerly waiting for your next upload Mr.Singh ..Thanx
Working on it! Should be up early next week
O wow thank you my brother for more of your amazing hard work please don't stop narrating You're the best that there is.
Thank you Charlie! I appreciate the comment!
@@selvalore anytime.
Great narration and excellent audio 👏👏👍
I’m so glad you did this
Thank you PreetJi! Yes, the earlier one just sucked big time.
Thank for the professional recording as aleays 👌🏻
I appreciate you, thank you!
Eagerly waiting for the next upload 😊
Hey man, I hope everything is OK in your life and just wanted to let you know we love your work and are eagerly awaiting more !❤
Love it Mr Singh 👍🏴
My pleasure, Ellis!
Thank you Brother 🙏
I love this story
My pleasure, as always!
much improved and very welcome!
Thank you!
My name is Jeff and I’m am a chef and I am a relative of Jim Corbett (he is my great grandfather.) I am always fascinated by his stories and I remember faintly he would tell us about his adventures a few times when we where back in Africa. amazing man such an honor being related to a legend.
This is amazing! Great to hear from you Jeff
Dear Jeff, Jim had no children, so he can not be your direct great grandfather, so what is your connection to Jim? Please explain.
Jim Corbett had no children.
Superb narration ,sir.
Thank you for the comment!
You should do a recording of the Tsavo lions i know it can be a bit long but you could do it in parts like the leopard of rudraprayag
How terrible for a wounded animal to have to suffer so.
No human or animal should have to suffer😳😢 God put us here to take care of the earth and the animals 🙌
Awesome brother!!!!Although the previous version was perfectly ok with me😊.
Very gracious and thank you as always!
Thanks for the remake. In Pauri Garhwal an ambush of 3 tigers behaving like a pride of lions began man-eating a fortnight ago. A tigress has been captured if some native Hindi speakers have further updates, will be much appreciated🐅🐯👍
Hopefully somebody will! I will look that up too. Thank you!
@@selvalore 👍☺
If Jim Colbert was alive today he would not be allowed to shoot these maneaters he would be astanded by this insanity
Thank you!
Cheers and thanks for commenting Sandesh!
Corbett really was full of youthful exuberance during this hunt. It made him take bolder risks, allowing him to bag this tiger rather quickly. His later hunts dragged on for months sometimes. Maybe he became more risk averse as he gained in experience as we all do!
You might have a point there! Although I do think that Jim got lucky with the Tahsildar's help and the presence of so many men during the final beat. Something that would not have worked for the Rudraprayag leopard, just as an example.
The maneater deaths where only put down to the tigress if they had signs of being fed upon many died without providing a meal for the maneater the figures could be a lot higher
Thats a good point!
Ty so much
My pleasure, Linda!
@@selvalore I love these stories
Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate the comments Dave!
Thanks for story brother big fan buddy ❤
ALways a pleasure, thank you Harry!
Waiting sir ❤
I know a story is long due. Working on it. Should he up in the next few days Anish!
@@selvalore thank you for the response... glad and super excited ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@selvalore hi sir .. I hope everything is good at your end!! Long time now ❤
Amazing to me is that Corbett could tell by "pug marks" that the animal was a female and past middle age. Wonderful story.
Kenneth Anderson could also
@selvalore, sorry for asking again, just want to remind you about temple tiger. The new re-recorded versions are really good. This is my go to evening relaxation now. Really Apratim, this is really, really good work. Thanks again for everything, Apratim. As an aside, is there a story behind the channel name, could you elaborate in one of the videos if it is something you don't mind sharing.
Thank you for the comment, Mr. Sambasivan!
Temple Tiger is in the works. It will be the next upload, possibly in the next two or three weeks.
Story behind the channel's name isnt very interesting. Selva Lore was named after Jim Corbett's de-facto memoir Jungle Lore. Selva being spanish for 'Jungle'.
@@selvalore, thanks, ah, the texas connection (spanish). I used to live in the DFW area for a long time.
Very well read
Thank you Sharad!
Again, thank you and greetings from Puerto Rico !
Do you only work these stories here or do you present them in any other social media?
Thank you Alex!
They're only available on UA-cam now. I have been thinking of putting them up on spotify but not sure yet.
What happened sir,we are missing your wonderful narration very much,a very long time has passed without any upcoming 🤔
Great to hear from you again. Thank you!
"And what can men do when they are afraid?"
I do not possess the answer.
Now start a series of Billy arjun singh books of tigers and animals
Its been months , when are you coming Apratim ? Eagerly waiting for your vdo !😊
Awesome work once again Mr. Viraj. I am quite curious to know the tale of the bungalow which Jim sayes @31:06. What was that tale beyond law of nature? Was it something supernatural? Can you kindly elaborate.
He could have seen a ghost or something like that. There is no way for us to know. We can only speculate!
Bro need a new one now been listening to this for months
Its in the works. Should be up in a few days.
Please upload anything new
Still waiting!
Its been quiet a long time.. hope everything is fine at your end !!
Anyone has any other social media contact of him??
Nice ,but we are expecting something exclusive very soon 😊😊😊😊🤔
Bhai, there is no need to reupload old videos. The old once are 100% fine and don't need to be fixed. Instead post new videos. Thanks a lot for your efforts. The world is not enough...
I understand Wasim bhai! I'm working on new stories. This needed to be re-done from scratch to bring it up to the standards. I had done the same thing for the talla-des story earlier.
It has been two month and I hope you are doing fine Mr. Singh. Just wanted to check!
Hope you're ok, Mr Singh, it's been a while.
Nice 😁
58:47 That's why no one can ever take Corbett's place. The man is history.
Amen!
Hey there are many kenneth Anderson stories that you haven't covered yet also stories from African jungles can you please cover this all?
Please read jungle lore and my India. When we hear your voice we subconsciously think it is Jim Corbett speaking. My wife and I. Thanks.
Facts
Escuchado este clasico
We are awaiting for Hugh Allen: lonely tiger
The next one is gonna be a story from that book. Thanks for your patience
U done making videos? Haven't posted in a wile.
Why You're ceased to be visible on channel?missing your voice and some new content.
No new updates for long. When is the next jungle story coming out? 😃
There is one now. Thanks!
Only Jim Colbert would bring 3 shells hunting a maneating tiger lol I remember another time he run out of shells on another maneater
This was a Talla Des man-eater, who had two cubs. He had 5 shells,
What happened sir,we are drifted into eternity of monotony and silence
I know. A story is long overdue. Im working on it.
Escuchada atentamente 25 05 23
Gracias Wilber!
I wonder if the tigers. Sensed. That. Someone else. Was hunting them not a villager. But another sort. Of human. With purpose ?? !!
Surprisingly Corbett recounts how man eaters seem to know the difference between a man with a gun and a regular villager
When can we expect new audio?
Very soon Aman! Its in the works.
You have become quite the narrator, you should see if you can do some Kipling.
Thanks Bill! I will consider doing some of Mr. Kipling's works in the future.
Sir waiting for something new🙏🙏🙏🙏
I shall have something good out soon. Got held back by a minor throat infection which affected my voice.
New videos?
How could they have known this tiger killed all these people and not some other tigers? Did it leave some trademark on it's victims that no other tiger could have left?
They were al in the same area that the tiger was residing in at the time so it was pretty obvious
Aren't there other Corbett stories that you haven't yet recorded?
Absolutely, there is a lot of Corbett yet to come! I just had to re-record this, as the previous one was terrible and not up to the standards.
@@selvalore Good to know!
As. If. These. Poor. People. Didn't. Have enough
To. Put up with. !!!!!!!
Nothing could be evil and demoic than a maneating tiger grizzlies can be the same but they seem to just kill and eat a person when they come on one unlike tigers who seek and stalk people with almost human reason
Yes they seem quite vindictive and vengeful.
I wonder if any tigers have been killed at any time by armed viiligers,
They seem such useless lot with firearms if they have any.
This was a very long time ago. The colonial British government had tight control over the sale of firearms. The few firearms that were used by villagers were homemade contraptions that were wildly unreliable.
