On Fishes....and feeding

Dear Gowri

Your mail on the fishes - the bullies, the shrewd ones and the mediocrity made really an interesting reading......It was very easy to relate it to practical life......and I got reminded of innumerable things...

First things first, it is really appreciable that you (& Kaushal) had such sharp eyes to observe the Blackie and Saffri and their technology...(and also admire the amount of time you spend.... :-) observing them....velai illaatha ambattan.....!!)

Your efforts to seperate the two mediocres (whity....?? and what is the other) from the others in order to feed them reminded me of the Quoto system of the Government....(By sheer coincidence another "G").....Not sure if you can continue to do this when you are also starving......& there is a good chance you may end up another "all powerful blackie"....(I mean both strengths (bullying as well as shrewdness & tact) get synergised when YOU,the decision maker decide to take a plunge in the competition which you are supposed to administer....(veeliyee payirai maynthaal....)

I got reminded with another crude fact of life that the powerful ones with lot of stamina who need lesser nourishment unfortunately get more share of the common food....I was quoting some thing similar to our Guide who took us in a trekking last August near Chickmangaloor...seeing him sitting relaxed at various points waiting for lesser fit people like me to join him, I told him "how is that the fittest one gets so much rest...while the most deserving have to walk without a break ??" ...He laughed enjoying my comedy and told that it was brilliant.....& made me walk continuously without getting moved....

Think we are learning lot from Fishes than from human beings around us......!! I only wish those two Golden Fishes survived some more......(who knows, they may be quite calm and composed and perhaps we would have never learnt so much with these variety of 5 considering your capacity constraints....)....Think, they are teaching us even with their deaths....isn't it ??

suchoo

ps:-Did you notice a comment posted for your earlier posting "Cricket & Sreesanth"?? I saw it quite accidentally.....
