Something from Panchatantra...

Who is not a fan of cartoons..and like everybody comic stories filled up my childhood like nothing else. Even when my friends had matured in watching news and other stuff I was still caught with animations. The animators these days really put life into their creations with their renditions and the making has made it near to reality perfection, a reason why the market is open to adults as well as children nowadays. But I haven't seen any serious approach been given to the panchatantra tales of our country after all there is a lot to learn from dying nature...

A tale of crows...
What does a crow know?? It basically minds its own business and works and flock to wherever its mind takes it away to and eats whatever it gets. It has a great sense of unity and detests whatever that is not unique to it. It makes its own noise and sports in junk and litter...
So what is the difference between a koel and a crow? maybe its just communication but the crows picks the koel by this defect and is behind the poor creatures life, a life it had nourished till long, the reasons for this act are known only to the crows but they simply chase and attack the Koel in the group of crows, the crow learns nothing from the Koel nor gives it an opportunity and all the  Koel knows is to share her motherhood.

The young Koel heartbroken and chased by its own people, away from where it once called home sings and sings to find other koels out in a sky filled by crows and its whole life goes in meeting other koels singing the most beautiful of songs which the crows can never understand but its said in the books of the tortoises that the eagles have ears for the koels song. But the Koel a crow once a Koel now and all this after he started singing and knowing how not to shut up how else can he talk about worlds so high above...
