Elephants collection

Ever since I was young, I love elephants. I remembered the movie, 'Elephants My friends'(Haathi Mere Saathi). It was a touching story. But I don't know why my husband likes elephants. He said that elephants have God spirit.

Let's take a look at my husband's collection of elephants.

    Lord Ganesha — the elephant-deity is the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is also worshipped as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth. Ganesha is one of the five prime Hindu deities (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Durga being the other four).

    I also watched Elephant My Friends when I was a child and cried my heart out when the animal died. My servant had a hard time to calm me down inside the cinema. What a silly me!

    My wife did not allow me to ride on elephants when I was in Cambodia. She said thee animals are supposed to be sacred and yet humans abused them. Your husband was born with such a good wisdom too. I am sure he won't ride on elephants too.
