This is a folk story from rural villages of Tamilnadu , India.
Son : Daddy , What is this ?
Father : This is Elephant , son !
Son : But , what these people are doing ?
Father : They are killing it , my child
Son : But … why they are killing the elephant ?
Father : They are killing the elephant , so that they can cut the ivory task and make elephant statues out of it “
Simple but powerful. Short but power packed. How neatly and crisply it riducles the acts of men !!!!
Am not going to interpret the story. I leave it to you. Think about it , relate it to you , me , we , society in general , look around you , look at the world ……. find the meaning of the story from what you see in this world nowadays.
Do let me know…
Here i am , woke up , read the morning diet of Times of India along with garam cup of Chai and now sitting on my comp , with my blog opened and was starring it for sometime now ..
” what do i write ? “
” cant seems to think the hot topic of today… hmmm “
” my mind is freezed ?!! .. “
” Stressed out ? burnt out ?! “
” Grey cells smoked ?! “
” or just deactivated the thought process momentarily “
” or just still not out from the sleep process “
whatever at times it happens that we find ourselves BLANK unable to grasp anything , think anything , or we just feel our mind is switched off .
Oh wait , did i complete a blog topic out of nothing ? err .. that means mind is not totally off … heeeheee..
Ps : For all malayalis , Happy Onam !
