The tale of mother and son in Kaziranga

His name is Joy, Joy is very close his mother, He does not let her mother Rukhmini go out of his sight. But does Mother Rukhmini have the time to make a fuss about his baby? She has a duty of carrying her back packer guests for trekking.

In the forest of Kaziranga. Rukmini continues to carry her guests on her back. Joy keeps following as Rukmini walks. Travellers sitting on her back get a taste of the clear, pollution-free sky lit by the soft light of dawn. The soft green of the surroundings blends into the breathtaking breath. The sound of birds fluttering their wings can be heard from side to side. Two or four blue-throated birds fly from the dry twigs of one tree and sit on the twigs of another tree and observe the travellers very keenly. Rhinos, deer, and buffaloes roam freely; they do not get easily scared by the sight of human beings in front of their eyes.

Rukmini does not make a single mistake while carrying out her responsibilities. Rukhmini slows whenever Joy falls behind. But when Mahut scolds, Joy picks up his pace and catches up with her mother, slowly shaking his head.

Once I asked myself. Doesn’t Joy get jealous to see his mother carry around so many people on her back? But the thing is why would he be jealous? He is not a human being. Human beings are driven by feelings of jealousy, conflict, anger and complexity. God has made animals differently. God has filled their hearts with love. He is happy with what he has. He is happy with the big blue sky above his head. He is happy with being surrounded with greenery. He does not need anything else. He has his mother!
