There is a charming British cottage in Nainital, not unlike many other British cottages peppered across our hill stations. This cottage, Gurney House, has been with my family for over 60 years. I was born in it and spent much of my childhood there. Gurney House is special and has a rich history, and it is special not just for me and my family, but also for many others, as it is the home of the legendary hunter-conservationist and writer, Jim Corbett.
