Asit Kumar Sanyal - Problem

2014-10-29 10 Dailymotion

I had a cow
Healthy, strong and
Of black colour.
She was purely of Indian variety
And used to give milk
Around five liters a day.

But …
There was a problem,
At the end of milking
She used to kick on the bucket
And often tumble
The bucket full of milk.

I tolerated …
For many months
Tried to correct her behavior
But failed.
I sold her at a throw away price.
But kept her girl child.

She became young at my home
And one day presented
A beautiful bull-calf
Regarding milk … she also behaved
Like her mother,
Started tumbling the bucket
Around five liter milk.

Similar to water fearing horse
Described in a love story
From the book ….
‘Betal Panchabingshati'.

Like my bucket tumbling cow,
There are lacks of people
In our country
Having higher qualification
And remarkable knowledge
But do not share its essence
Where it is really required.
I think
It's the genetic problem.
