An eco-friendly, twin-engine ride, with TWO pairs of lovingly painted horns being flaunted for all that care to notice!

Playing with Bhole Baba in reckless abandon that is the hallmark of a much loved child!

This is it for the time being, folks.
Will add more if I come across any more such media.
🙏

Carrying on a bit more, here's a lovely video of a little child with an equally indulgent Gau Mata!
Sheer joy, I'd say!

Besties!!

No couch .. No Problem!

Fast asleep, in a welcoming lap!

With the Lord Himself incarnating as a gwala, what could possibly perturb the bovines in these lands??

Blessings of Distinguished Ancestors ALWAYS come in handy!

Perfect motivation to teach kids the importance of eating healthy!

Even the Mumbai locals slow down when four legged citizens are being lifted to safety!

She remained a landlubber, though, and now a Light House keeps alive the memory of this pampered sailor!

In case there was ever any doubt, I'll clarify it right here - Tigers have the right of way.
Each and every time!

Happy Birthday Rocky Dada!
You are indeed a lucky dog .. with such a distinguished 'Mitr Mandal'!

King Sized beds are passe .. Bull Sized beds are the 'In Thing' these days!

Just realized I missed a curious onlooker in the background in this photo tweeted earlier in this thread!
I'm sure many of you would have missed him as well!

Elephant power was quite well-utilized by the Americans while operating from India!
'Clean Energy' pioneers indeed!
