Unbroken Rules of Animal Kingdom

As I wrote in one of my previous post in this web log, I love climbing very high locations like hills and mountains and spend a lot of time there, simply watching the sky, the valley and nearby mountains. Let me describe one of the strange things I noticed about the dense forests, during my visits to Kurisumala in Wayanad. Previous post about trekking through Kurisumala and pictures

I saw round patches stretching on an average of 2 or 3 acres here and there in the dense forests without any trees or tall vegetations. These places are covered with green grass. I wondered why trees are not growing in these areas, for the surrounding places are covered with big trees, and the sun rays won’t touch the ground even at noon time.

First I thought that the phenomenon was due to the geography of the specific location. But my further inspection found that there was no any difference between the green patches and the surrounding locations with dense vegetation. During one of my visit to Kurisumala with my friend Rajesh, I asked him about this. He described me about the wonderful rules of nature.

If there is only dense forest, without enough plain grounds with grass, many animals won’t survive. Animals like deer, elephant, and other grass eating creatures need these green patches for their survival. Rajesh told me that he has watched many times, elephants and other grass eating animals moving towards these open areas in the jungle during the time of heavy rain and wind. Otherwise they may get seriously hurt by the falling trees and other actions of the wind and rain. And these green patches are essential for the mazing animals for their food. So these green patches are vital for the survival of the animals. And strangely, there will be green patches in all the forests around the world, without any specific reasons. Wonderful!!!! This is another miracle of the creator.

And he described one of the amazing rules of the Jungle. That is 'the animals won’t attack each other for food or anything while drinking water'. We can see predators like lion, tiger and other animals like zebra, deer etc drinking water from the same pond or lake. These kinds of rules are never broken in the jungle. There are many strange rules in the animal kingdom, that human can’t understand and can’t follow.

The More Silent, the More Powerful

The more silent the starting, the more wild will be the storm.
A silent dog will be so ferocious.
Try to be silent and wait for the outcome.
When you feel angry, don’t explode.
Feel the power inside.
Your silence may be more powerful than the showering of words.
Always withhold the outburst.
I used to react suddenly in most of the situations.
But later I understood the power of silence.
These are not only true for spontaneous activities.
I felt great when I practiced silence through out my daily life.
Now I can feel the great strength inside my mind.
Just feel that you have enough strength to do that, but be patient.
Never strike, accumulate the strength in your whole body and mind.
You will earn more will power, and you will be more positive.
If you are able to practice silence in your life, you will always feel that you do have the power to accomplish anything.

The Story of the 25 Paise in My Wallet

I am hopeless.
I walked aimlessly.
I am too hungry.
The sky is cloudy.
The sun is already set.
The twilight mood added my anxiety.
I reached a big play ground.
A small boy is playing alone at the far end of the ground.
I walked towards him.
He is throwing a small coin as high as possible again and again.
I asked him to hand over the coin.
He stopped playing.
His face turned sad.
He started stepping back.
I got the coin from him forcefully.
He started crying.
He ran away crying and looked back at me 2 or 3 times.
It is a 25 paisa coin.


Now it is night.
I am sleeping under a big banyan tree.
The crying face of the child flashed repeatedly in my mind.
I felt sad.


The next day I went to the same ground a little bit early, lots of kids were playing there.
The coin is still in my pocket.
I couldn’t find the boy.
I waited till it was dark.
I went to the same place the next day also.
I went there many times.
Never again I was able to find the boy playing there.
Oh! God, how can I give the coin back?

Years passed by.
Still the crying face of the child is in my mind.
The coin is still in my wallet.
