MYSORE ZOO

Today, I would like to share my experience of travelling to Mysore Zoo. As the name itself denotes, this zoo is in Mysore. This is one of the biggest zoo I have come across in my life with topiary gardens and well – maintained animals. Lots of tourists as well as localites come here to enjoy the beauty of the topiary gardens and to take a small ride on the electric vehicles which are provided to the tourists on demand and by paying a sum as a ticket. As we know, a common set of rules regarding feeding the animals, maintenance of the zoo etc are briefly inscribed at the entrance.
I got a chance to visit this place on a trip with family members. As we all know, visiting different places with family members is a different experience compared to going for a trip with friends. At the entrance, we were able to see a Giraffe who was grazing alone. Usually kids become excited when they see animals and my cousins are no exceptions. They were excited and started posing for pictures.

The Lonely Giraffe!


As we moved further, a variety of animals were displayed in a row according to different sections like reptiles, birds and animals of different species. Some parrots were lucky enough to reside in a big cage with plants inside while some other birds had a smaller cage. Different species of reptiles surprised me. Some looked creepy, some others looked like they are about to gobble us up while some remained silent. When it came to animals, most of the tourists, as you can see everywhere, were trying to break the rules by feeding the animals. One of the caretakers(Ofcourse, an employee of the zoo!) found this out and questioned them.
Moving on…
We were able to see different species of monkeys, tigers and other animals. Meanwhile a group of school kids who were clinging on to the electric vehicles screamed and howled at the animals as they passed by. A zoo visit once in a while is good and makes people feel happy. The gardens and topiaries of this zoo is note-worthy. One can never forget the beauty of the zoo. It is well –maintained too.

Access to this zoo can be done via road. As I have mentioned earlier in other posts, Mysore Railway station and Mysore Airport are the nearest destinations from where one can hire a cab or a rickshaw to access this zoo…

Being respectful - Part 2

Things began changing for both Jon and James. As you could imagine, Jon hated James since childhood and used to snatch various opportunities James used to get. However, Jon's company began to feel the pressure as they found out that various employees began to quit the job due to the rigorous management of the company.  Jon wanted the employees to work overtime and had plans to extend the working hours for the day. He had also made it clear that there won't be any hike in salary or extra pay for overtime. This infuriated the workforce and people began quitting the job.  Jon continued barking down the orders on his workforce and demanded respect for each of his actions. People around him were fed up with his demands. One of the workers walked into Jon's office and told him how rude, arrogant and entitled he sounded. The company was on the verge of going bankrupt and Jon was pondering on how things went downhill as he still believed that he had managed the company to perfectio...
