  ***On Tuesday, she ordered that temple elephants be given a one-month holiday every year.***
  
  Wow! One month Holiday to the Elephants!!!
  
  May be Neel can take them out somewhere and make them feel what Holidays are all about!!!
  
  Neel,
  
  Better let the Elephants know that they are in a vacation and dont forget to ask them to fill up the time-sheet before they take off.
  
  Is this a paid vacation or what?
  
  The news would have lied somewhere and unnoticed. We got people like Neel to advertise how idiotic we are to the whole world by starting a thread like this. Honestly, THIS IS WHAT I THINK, Neel!

  "how idiotic we are to the whole world by starting a thread like this"
  
  hah??? what is idiotic about this. Don't you think animals need a break??? What's wrong in stopping animal sacrifices? I guess you are still living in the "Jungle Law" times.

  Why vacation? Let them go back to the jungle if you really want to do anything good to the animals and and, you really FEEL FOR THEM and not DOING ANOTHER MOVIE after a LONG TIME. Cant you or JJ live without the elephants serving in the temple for ever? It is a pity that you are impressed with the vacation package the elephants have got! I am not. I think they deserve more than this!
  
  They can really have LIFE like you and me have!
  
  seivana thiruntha chey otherwise summA iru!

  tmottf,
  
  I don't know who you are. But you seem to know me very well. You have used my name four times in one post. I am really flattered. Thanks.
  
  The fact that animal sacrifice takes place in 21st century in Tamilnadu is not shameful. But banning this barbaric act of the uncivilized lot is "idiotic"??????
  
  What else is "idiotic"? Banning the practice of Sati is "iditioc". Banning the Devadasi system is "idiotic". Banning the dowry system is "idiotic".
  
  Cows are given one day of rest every year. This is a tradition that exists only in Tamil culture. When you extend the same tradition to the elephants it somehow becomes "idiotic". I guess then Tamil culture itself is "idiotic".
  
  Animal sacrifice is already against the law in India. But enforcing that law is "idiotic". That makes the Indian legal system "idiotic".
  
  
  :),
  
  Have you heard this expression?
  
  "Agaadha peNdAtti kai pattaa kuththamaam, kaal pattaa kuththamaam". :-)
