Raj watches the Discovery channel and realizes that there are parallels between elephants and politicians. The matriarchal society of elephants prizes age and experience. He thinks this may be true of Indian society too, which is why so many of our politicians are octogenarians.
True, not all old people are wise ( making allowance for senility), but most wise people are old. This explains why octogenarians and even nonagenarians continue to cling to power or dominate the political scene in many states.
Shruthi watches the Discovery channel and makes a profound realization about human nature.
I had to sit still for a moment - struck dumb. To the leopard, and then the lions, the hyena was an intruder, a pest. But the hyena, on her part, was doing what she had to do. She was looking for food for her cubs.
We are so quick to judge people, and to attribute negative characteristics to them. Who knows what instinct, what compulsion, or what pressing need they are acting under!
Apparently, Discovery channel is not just about the animals anymore.
