Elephant Doctor
I read this short story "Elephant Doctor" by Jeyamohan at his website.As i was reading i released how much we are missing in our life specially in nature's way. Sometimes back i read 'Life in woods" by Henry David Thoreau , this short story reminded me that book .Both says that the best way to enjoy and live our life to fullest was to go along with nature.In "Elephant Doctor" , Dr. Krishnamurthy who dedicated his entire life to the wild animals and forest natives explains the natures's life. In "Life in woods" Thoreau shares his way of life in woods and how much he enjoyed and how happy he was.He had only what he needed.He wrote his expanse details and how he saved money by doing certain things.

Respect Nature:
As Dr.Krishnamurthy says that the worm is like a baby needs to eat all time,once we understand that there is no need to get scared and we have to remember there is life in everything. The problem with us human beings is that we think that all the other living creatures are inferior to us, in fact they all have their own power.For example the elephants have high resistance power for diseases than human beings, infact only we human being scare of pain and cause lots of destruction to ourselves.Observe the pain , that itself heal. When we run from pain and fear it will chase and over throw you and you will succumb but when you turn against, you will overcome fear and pain.Is it possible to live like Dr.Krishnamurhty ? yes its possible. Love all the living things, this will help us to understand the power of human love.We heard many stories of animals's faithfulness to human being like the story of Hachiko , the dog and Christian the lion.Love triumphs everything.
In this instant communication world , we need to take time to admire nature and take efforts to protect it. As Mother Teresa told once "charity starts from home" all these nature living have to start from home. We have to find answers for questions like 'how am i using water?', 'how am i utilizing electricity'..etc. Small act can produce great impact on our environment.
When we go against nature,we will face all sort of problems starting with global warming.
