A zoo is probably a place where people visit hardly once or twice over their entire life.
But these one or two visits turn out to be the most experiential visits of life. Thankfully, I got the chance to visit a zoo at my teenage that too with my friends. Life seems beautiful when your friends are around. We were planning our visit for many days and finally one day it happened. We chose ‘Pragati Maidan’ Zoo, Delhi. We reached there at 10:00 AM, collected tickets from the ticket counter and then directly headed over to explore the zoo. Walking through the narrow lanes between the impenetrable trees, listing the pleasant chirping of birds, and witnessing the real animals was indeed a completely different experience. It seemed we have entered in a different world where there is no hub-bub and chaos of cities. I felt the tranquility of nature and love of animals there.
Before this visit, I had seen giant animals and big birds only in the pictures but in zoo, I witnessed almost every animal in front of my eyes. I can’t express this experience in words. It was really thrilling and amazing. I think animals are kept in a categorized way in a zoo. First, we went in the bird’s enclosure. There were many types of birds. Except for one or two categories, I was witnessing the all other types of birds for the time. Then, we approached to the rodent’s cage but didn’t spend much time here. We were curious to see the big animal, so we quickly headed over to the animal’s fence. In the midway itself, we heard a thunderous roar of a lion. Literally, we froze at our place for a moment then we remembered that lion is inside the cage. Ahh, we took a deep breath. Now, we were in front of the dangerous yet beautiful giant animals. We saw deer, lion, tiger, bear, wild bear, rhino, and many more. We enjoyed watching them. Their every single move scared us to the death every time. We were scared from inside but thrilled from outside. After this visit, I must one thing that animals know the definition of brotherhood better than humans. You will see there the genuine love.
Here i am sharing one real story. I think in eighty decade, school of Utter Pradesh state in India was in different look. Children used to sit below tree shed on sack. Square size cloth was used to carry books and it was in vogue at those time. one of our step elder brother of our family was always carrying overloaded bag. It used to take half an hour to bind this type of without stitched cloth (used as books bag). It's prepared shape looked like a temple in which bigger dimensional books or note books were kept at bottom. The step brother of our family always used to carry maximum books . This overloaded backpack's weight was much beyond his normal carrying potential. When he grown up, it had been noticed that impact of that overloaded bag deformed his normal back posture. His spine had gotten deformed and his body had become completely inefficient to do job of normal person. He is still suffering from this problem.
