Amongst the various absurdities that afflict human race, the most appalling perhaps is the ironically erratic behavior of this specie. No other being on this planet is so ridden with complications and hypocrisy.
Consequently, when it comes to faith and religion, we leave no stone unturned to even force feed paleolithic idols of Lord Ganesha, but give the living symbol, the Elephant, a royal ignore. How come our hearts do not move when we see these iconic Ganesha's in the Zoo's or doing a circus show, all driven by starvation or a painful ankush? Is it because faith is blind or because something is wrong with our collective vision?
Todays 'The Hindu' carries a wonderful article on Elephants. Do take time out to read the following:

Something I recently read...
"You never really learn much from hearing yourself talk"...George Clooney
The Readers' Digest carries this gem in its "Quotable Quotes" segment this issue. It does give something to ponder on; a food for thought. Those who appreciate the "The Golden Virtue" (read the latest post, if you have no clue) and do not suffer babblers and braggers easily are bound to love this one as well...
