Gangadharan Menon travels to Kheechan to meet Ratanlal Maloo - the man who has single-handedly called over 15,000 Damoiselle Cranes to his little hamlet in Rajasthan from their homes in Mongolia and Eurasia, as annual guests, and created a sanctuary worth visiting. The love and care he showed the birds ensured that their numbers increased year after year as word spread in their hometown!
