On a lazy monday afternoon I was watching the movie Stranger starring Jimmy Sergill KK and the female support system. I was competely engrossed in the movie, when I faintly heard the the tinkling sound of ringing bells. Hearing this sound, I had to to veer myself away from the movie. And just as I was concentrating towards identifying this sound, It struck me like a bolt of lightening. I realised that they were the bells tied round the neck of cows.
Such bells had the characteristic sound as against the bells tied elsewhere. The ding dong of the bells were a result of the rhythmic walking of the cows, left foot forward; ding dong, right foot forward; ding dong, though neither of the sounds were cleary distinguishable. The cows did not wait until the first pair of sounds completed their journey to the listeners ear drums.
The moment I identified the owners of this sound,I jumped off the couch and ran to the main entrance, to save our newly planted saplings.
I do not have any reason to like the cows grazing at the green grass in the playground in front of my house. Dad has reccently planted some saplings that are destined to become flowering trees in near future. And these cows love to eat away the tender leaves of the stil-infant saplings. And I detested this audacity.
"Nod pa, iva yen anara illi gida tindra, na sumna iranglilla noda!" (To the cowherd, "Listen, if these eat away the leaves of the saplings I wont stay quiet", Well, I really could not do much. All I could think of was to shout at the cowherd, as the cows could not understand anything any expletives I hurled at them.
"Illari akkara, hanga yenu madangilla iva. Gidakka yenu agangilla bidri" (Dont worry, They wont do anything like it)
"Yaaka, yenu madangilla?? Manne ee gidadda tinda hogyavu noda" (Why do u think they wotn do it? Look at this sapling. All its leaves are gone!!) I was angry now!
As I was turning towards the door, I heard him shout... "Le Malashri, Shreedevi, Kajal... barri.. Le..." And the cows came running towards him, away from my saplings..
