Heartbreaking...isn't "time" a strange thing...if only we could move freely through it in either direction...
Maansi!!..such a cute thing...such a lovely name!
So..thats it..a new life born..another life taken...suddenly ,unxpectedly but both guranteed at some point.
Moral of the story:-life is short and unpredictable...lets have a PARTY!!
(PS:Thats me sitting under the "Bodhi tree")
A cute little baby and sad at the same time..nice image of a majestic animal.
I just want to reach out & pet her. This is very sweet! ...mixed with sadness, of course. What is the mark on Maansi's trunk?
Life can be harsh. And yet fruitful at the same time. May the new life prosper.
Only humans protect the weak Suresh
shes cute, it hurts me when you cant help an animal....but great photo, its eye opening. When people dont see things like that they tend to forget about them.
hi lorraine, its sad but happens ...
wendy c ... moving through time will leave us with no emotion ... dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing ...
welcome deysi ... you can call a baby elephant a 'calf' ... hope this fellow has fun ... thanks for droppin by ...
e2d, true, maansi is a great name but thats what i call her but i think in reality its 'manasi', meaning 'mother Goddess' ... mansi means a women ... correct me pls.
e2d you are absolutely right sitting under that bodhi tree ... lets party ... or in the words of jim morrison, 'i want to have my kicks before the whole shit house goes up in flames' ...
hi david k, your new home is great ! ... here, what makes all of us sad is the beauty and childlike quality of the creature. thanks david !
hi patty, those marks have a long story, will write about it in another post. but in short, the elephant calfs are always seperated from its mother after a certain age in order to train it for camp use. so this pic was shot after a few days of that, now that she being caged, hurt herself by trying to break the wooden cage open ... but the wounds are only bruises, heals very quick. but wont write about the just of the whole act here ...
i hope, one day you could see and spend time and play with these awesome fellas to know the amazing feel that is there to it ... take care patty !
hello marc, you are right ... one without the other cant carry any meaning. i hope so too, that new life prospers ! thanks ...
rauf, you are pretty much right, but i wonder how human life would be without that ? ... may be it all started with humans delivering a helpless baby ? ...
hi wendy eileen, i particularly have no reason why i feel sad for maansi but having spent so much time with her, thats the only emotion that i have to spare. i really hope that someday you could spend time with these gorgeous and intelligent creatures to experience the magic of such relationship ... take care !
Wildpic - I did not exactly mean that we "should" move through time, but to share that this type of loss makes me aware of time as an entity outside of ourselves...one moment we are here, the next we are not...the only connection being an invisible strand conisting of moments...and if we could move along this strand, we could touch what was but is no longer. The past, and everything in it, is still there, it does not cease to exist because we have gone beyond it...but knowing it exists does nothing to help us visit it...and sometimes I know I would like to...
Peace & hugs
I actually found a couple of versions
Mansi=plucked flower
Manasi= mental adoration
Manasa=conceived in the mind.
yea--I can surely echo Jim Morrison.Is that one of his songs?
