They knocked the guard down and carried him on their back and right on to the feet of the dancing girls who screamed. And then the rest of the cows ran after all the people, especially the ones who wore white leather shoes and carried matching white leather mobile cases, belts and purses. The bull drank all the juice and the buffalo and his friends ate all the salad. The whole place resembled a slapstick comedy show, with people screaming and the bovine animals eating or running after the people who tried to stop them. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 86.1pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">To stop this whole mess and confusion, the police was called. But before they could come and take action, Col. Tommy the dog, and Kwaky the crow informed Monalisa the cow to leave the place immediately. And so with a loud Moo! Monalisa called all her cows to leave. They told Charkha the Special Correspondent their demands and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>left for their secret meeting place.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 86.1pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Charkha the special correspondent relished this opportunity to hit headlines! Charkha had now become the mouthpiece of these bovine animals and they had vowed to her that they would give her free milk if she would help them.

Charkha tapped upon the Vase and the Mayor sheepishly peeped out of the mouth of the vase.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 86.1pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">‘Are they gone?’,the Mayor asked</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 86.1pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yes, Mayor you can come out now , all the animals have left’, told Charkha</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 86.1pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">They have demands, Mayor, I think you better listen to them’</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 86.1pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">‘Off the record, please, and let see what the beastly bovine want’, said the Mayor</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 86.1pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The bodyguards tried to lift the Mayor out of the vase but his stomach had gotten stuck in the middle, and so they had to break the vase into pieces.

Dharma the bull was in a very sorry state. He complained of back and neck pain and how his hoofs were getting weathered on the cement roads as he pulled his cart to transport ice.

She realized that the idols underneath the waters when she had almost sank had pushed her up and it was a sign. It was a sign that she was meant to lead a life with a purpose! And she wondered and wondered about the ‘purpose’ as she walked. As she was walking thoughtfully she suddenly saw school children crossing the zebra crossing and a <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>very loud motorcyclist, speeding towards them, she decided to act swiftly!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 86.1pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Monalisa the cow jumped right in front and in between the school children and the motorcyclist. On seeing the very large cow the biker pulled the breaks, screeched, skidded ahead and hit Monalisa the cow in the stomach, did a summersault in the air and landed straddled on Monalisa’a back with his head towards her tail! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The shouting children then started to laugh and applauded, and the crowd gathered around all clapped. The Principle of the school and the teachers, all ran towards the cow, to see if she was okay. And she was! Due to her large size and weight she not only had saved a bad road accident but had also cushioned the fall of the biker! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 86.1pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The biker turned out to be a wannabe roadie and the Principle of the school made the biker write ‘I will not ride my bike speedily and loudly’ 200 times on the board, for a week. Monalisa got a new lease of life! The school hired her as the traffic stopper for their school children, they also gave her a school sash. So now she had a job , as well as lots of friends who would hug and give Monalisa a bit of their lunch. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 86.1pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">All was well, but one day she met a very sad buffalo!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 86.1pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the afternoon the water below looked cool and sparkled brightly. Monalisa then got on top of the bridge, and she said her final ‘Mooo’ and just jumped ! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Monalisa the cow closed her eyes for the worst, and she hit the water with a splash. When she hit the water she opened her eyes in a reflex action, she could hear glugging sounds as she fell deeper into the water, and then she was suddenly very shocked to see many outstretched hands of Gods!!!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">These were the various idols which the religious Hindus had immersed during their festivals. A festival had just gone by and many idols had remained half melted in the water. The whole sea bed consisted of multicolored and adorned statues of Gods with their hands in the posture of blessing, their eyes straight and lips smiling, stuck in the bed of the river! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The morning walkers, were very disturbed by the behavior of a snappy dog and a very large cow, balancing on their feet and running about and making a lot of noise ! You see Monalisa had gained so much weight, that when she ran , it would sound like a thousand horses were running by! Col. Tommy had to make a run as the stray dog department came after him and Monalisa just headed in any direction she could find. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So once again, Monalisa the cow, sobbed and sobbed and ate only one can of garbage. She became so disillusioned with the world that she slowly walked towards the large bridge. She was very determined and solemn,’ Good bye cruel world’, she said, ‘Good bye everyone’, and then started to walk over the Wooden Bridge.</span></div>to be continued....</div>Ashwini Sanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07658557515977209640noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660918513114271149.post-9753549284409572542011-04-04T23:34:00.000-07:002011-04-04T23:35:14.654-07:00Motivational Lessons<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Monalisa the cow,decided to change her attitude, so she took the advice of her only friend Kwaky the Lazy Crow, who wood often take joyrides on Monalisa’s back when he was too tired to fly, he was now a grandfather after all! He advised her to take the help of Col. Tommy. Colonel Tommy was a white spritely Pomeranian dog who had been abandoned, after his owners left for their next posting, in the army. He had a black patch on his left eye and now took Motivational Lectures for those animals who had been dumped by their owners, just like him.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Col. Tommy sat erect and listened to Moanalisa’s sad tale. He got up and said, like Napoleon commanding his army, ‘ Worry not Cow!, I have a plan for you!’ .</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Each day Monalisa wood do yoga and tai chi at 5.3o in the morning and then she and Col. Tommy would go on a run. Col. Tommy’s plan was to reduce Monalisa’s weight and then try and bring about positive energy. But their plan was doomed from the start. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

The children started to laugh at her, and she then took off her camouflage outfit and headed for the city life.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">She found it difficult to fit in with the city cows, they thought she was competition and they had already occupied the prized food and sweet stores and all the elite garbage dumps, and so they kept her out of their group.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">She then, had to wait for the other cows to finish and then eat the remains in the garbage bin, which was a lot of junk food. After many days she found a small temple where she would stand and some devotees would give her food and touch her feet. She was extremely embarrassed, but she was desperate for food. She soon found a place where she got shade and would sleep or sit the whole day. This place, was in front of an old library and there she would turn her back towards the street and see the people reading books and then sleep peacefully. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">But as luck would have it the temple people scooted her out of their premises as their own cow needed space and the policeman too blew a whistle and gave her a stick in the back, as she was obstructing traffic near the library! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;"><strong>Back to the Present !</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">And, so, she now walked about in fear all the time, with no friends, no peaceful sleep and no place of her own, and extremely overweight! She became more and more depressed and then she finally decided to take an extreme step!</span></div>to be continued.....</div>Ashwini Sanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07658557515977209640noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660918513114271149.post-77168018893431412052011-03-31T00:48:00.000-07:002011-03-31T00:48:57.478-07:00The Fable of the Fantastic Cow !<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">There once was a lonely cow called Monalisa. She was a lovely brown and white patched ‘Jersey Cow’. She would wander about the streets very dejected all the time. She had a reason for her dejection, her owner had tried to butcher her as she had become a dead investment. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;"><strong>Flashback!</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her owner had brought her as she had looked big and beautiful, but once he realized she was not able to produce any milk, he decided to give her to the butcher and make some money out of her. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once Monalisa found out the evil intentions of her owner,she stuck to a strict vegetarian diet, of one stack of grass and some water and no binging on the nearby farm spinach, and egg plants, as she had read in the latest copy of ‘CowElle’. She thereby not only lost weight but she was able to squeeze through the farm fence and run away, wearing green bushes and sticks, like a commando camouflage, she had seen in a movie, in the middle of the night. And once she got out she ran and ran and ran, thinking the world was a better outside. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />
