Dr. Sayed Nudrat Zawar


If Pavan has neckties, Nudrat has a hijab dealership. She has hijabs. Lots and lots of them. In every colour except green. She wears them all the time, and only takes them off for her Facebook profile photos. She says she is a botanist but finds it difficult to identify a tree unless it's under a microscope. This makes things Very Interesting. Just last week she attempted to stick a rain tree under her microscope, and the Fire Brigade had a really hard time getting her out of it. She is easily annoyed, especially by Debi and Gautam and is frightened of Navroz. Every summer she trots off to Dharamshala where she claims she has planted trees. When asked for evidence, she points to photographs of herself under waterfalls striking sensuous poses (of Nudrat, not the waterfall). At present, she is struggling to learn how to pack a bag for court without forgetting important documents. Find her on Facebook. Why anyone would want to email her at nudrat@cat.org.in is unclear. In truth she wanted to be a taxi driver but she really can't spell so she became a taxonomist instead. Ambika says she cooks really well, but nobody's been invited yet.

Ms. Roopali Raghavan

Ms. Roopali Raghavan is a great disservice to the term wildlife biologist with nothing even remotely wild about her. She has spent most of her eight year career monkeying around, trying to get elephants to chase her, and hoping to get school kids bite the environment bug (If only it was the other way around!). Post her cross examination in the Thane Court; she was permitted voluntary service in lieu of a jail term. That explains why she would be found carrying tons of files in the Bombay High Court. She joined CAT thinking she would be paid to spend time playing with kittens, but discovered life had other plans for her. One can always try reaching her at roopali@cat.org.in, as she drifts from project to city, often lost in the wilderness of her dreams.
