I like the last one, "The Making of a Naturalist" the best. I think it's more representative of your journey and who you became through it and it would give a first-time reader a more "concrete" beginning-middle-end to hold on to. They know that they're going to pick up the book and follow you on that journey, change with you, and possibly become more of a naturalist themselves after reading your perspective.

I could see some sort of subtitle like, "My life growing up in India" or "Seven years spent wandering the Indian subcontinent" as good matches that would help flesh it out. (You can probably think of a punchier subtitle, I'm just spitballing here.)

The Light of Wilder Things is my favorite of these Ishan. Whenever I think about you and your pursuits, "wonder" is the word that always shows up in my mind. Not sure how you might represent it in a title.
