YET ANOTHER PROTEST!

YET ANOTHER PROTEST!
ANN (Animal News Network) | Feb 21, 2015, 11:00 AM IST

As Mumbai gears for the 
‪#‎savearey‬ protest tomorrow morning at 7:00AM, there was yet another protest in Borivali, yogi tower building. The protest was for the installation of birds protection nets installed by The Chauhan's on their balcony grills. The protest was lead by the resident pigeons, crow's and sparrows. It was a chaotic morning while the anti Chauhan's slogans were shouted by the crows, the pigeons tried to enter the house through the loopholes in the safety nets. The sparrows did a silent fly march outside the house
As the protest gained momentum the workers at sight shued off the protesters with the help of stick and scarring away the protestants with force. When contacted Mr. Pijrewal, leaders of the pigeon clan regarding the protest he said "where will we go, where will we breed, where will our children play, who will we teach them their lessons for life. First you humans encroach our forest, cut trees, make us homeless and then don't allow us to come in your homes. Saying we bring diseases to your house. How inhuman is that"


The leaders of the crow clan Mr. Kawla who has a history with the Chauhan family said "because of them we had to abandon our nest and now we have to leave our resting place this is height of anarchism we live in democracy why is that we are always made scapegoat for your human needs".
Mrs. Sparrow who led the silent protest with her flying squad said "my sympathy is with he crow family. It's high time that we all animals come together and as one force do some thing for our-self, with the rate at which we are declining, I am afraid we will all be gone. These humans need to understand that they are not the only one on this planet. Our distant cousins are all dead, we are on the brink of extinction with only few left in this city".

Mean while the spokes person from the Chauhan's Mrs. Kanika Chauhan said these birds had made our life miscible. "Mummyji ko asthma ka problem Ho gaya is kabtroo kee wajese. Din bhar pareshan karte hai, hamare ghar ko tu chidya ghar bana diya hai. Jab dekho koi bhi aake aandey dejata hai jai se inka maternity ward ho. (my mother in law has astama and that got agrivated because of these birds. They keep troubling us day in and out, they have made our house zoo. The keep laying eggs as if its their maternity ward).


While the resident environmentalist Mr. Rahulratan Chauhan remained unavailable for comments and all our means to contact him remained unanswered. Yet another case of domestic man animal conflict from yogi tower reported.

THE TALE OF TWO DOG'S AND ME

There are these two dogs grumpy and bumpy in one of the industrial area I visit everyday and I don't know why but they keep barking at my car every time I move in or out of their area. Since its a narrow lane I have to be really careful that I don't bump my car into someone or something. All of a sudden these two dogs will appear from nowhere and start barking at my car furiously and for no reason. I tried ignoring them but they made it a daily habit and started doing this thing everyday, first few days were ok but then, I started loosing my patience and was really mad at them and started reacting to their barking. Whenever they started barking I tried to dash them or hurt them in one or the other way sometimes shouted at them. Seeing me react, they started enjoying and me getting mad more. The reactions include throwing stones, speeding in narrow lane trying to kill them under my wheel, running behind them to hit with a stick/stone. All this went on for some time and then it released more then chasing my car they enjoyed my reaction. I observed them for some time, to see how they react to other vehicles moving in and out and to my surprise they sat quietly while other vehicles moved in or out, it was just my car that they enjoyed chasing. Finally I decided I won't react to these dogs what so ever happens. The routine continued, they kept barking and I drove in and out without reaction calmly doing my work finishing it and moved out. seeing no reaction from me they got bored and stopped chasing my car. sometimes they try their old trick but sad they get no reaction from me.

LESSON LEARNT:

Many a times in you life you will find people who are like these dogs, out of nowhere they will come in your life and start nagging, criticizing, finding faults in your work, even if you are doing good work better then them. It's their habit to do so and they will enjoy in your suffering. The more you suffer/react to them the more they will enjoy. The best way is to avoid such people and keep doing your work, because the more u think about reacting to such people, more you will be wasting your time and deviating from your goal or your path.
