The Mystical Mystery

"You need to believe in magic to feel it"





Every country has its national pride celebrated by symbols, and one such symbol is their National Animal!While we have heard that Lions,Tigers,Peacocks do compete for that space, Scottish people have got it sorted.

Scottish people are awesome guys who live in the moment, and believe in reminiscing the magic of the moment. And what could better represent their National Pride more than their love of Myths and Magic,than a Magical Creature?

Meet The dandling little guy, with his horn to fight and wings to Fly, known to us as the Majestic Unicorn, The pride of Scotland, Their National Animal.




Whilst many other options in the Animal Kingdom  were a fierce competition , Scots voted for this Magical Myth. 
There have been various reasons for this, predominantly the Scottish culture which is Rich in History, myths and superstitions.

The Unicorn ,as legend beholds is a beautiful white horse with wings to soar the sky. It was extremely strong, ie could easily pin down an elephant in a rumble.It had magical powers too. Eg:If a snake made water poisonous Unicorn would dip his horn and purify the water for other animals.

But instead of using its prowess to dominate the weak,Unicorn spread love . It was opposed to the Lion who used might to rule,since the Unicorn ruled for peace and harmony.

This act of chivalry was something which expressed the Unicorn as a Symbol of Love, innocence, strength and purity.

It was loved the good until death and brought wrath upon the evil.A perfect blend of feminine love and masculine vigour.


And so the Scots proudly voted for the Unicorn to be given the well deserved honor. 



Many scientists have argued  that no such animal can exist with a lot of logical proofs. 
But the medieval period holds Unicorn in high regards with Greek scholars mentioning them in many of their works.

Whatever the case, The Majestic Mystical Unicorn remains a Unsolved Mystery for the world!

A Trip Down The Memory Lane

“We are a part of the society, not apart from the society”. In Sanskrit there is a saying,which goes “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakaum”, meaning “The entire world is a family.” But in my family I have seen specimens of every character in the world.We all have had these relatives, some whom you love and some whom you hate,but none whom you can ignore. After being under the daunting yet loving and caring wing of my relatives, suddenly a resemblance struck me,A re-connection with my relatives ,by a chord i totally adore.And this connection oriented link was nothing but my childhood friends from the “TV Nagri” a.k.a “Cartoons” 1.PIKACHU. This smart,powerful and cute pokemon was the trend of the 90’s.Every child wanted to be a pokemon trainer and go on adventure with this buttercup. The strength of Pikachu was giving an electric shock to the target. We all have had that one uncle who always made it his life’s motto to give us a reality check.The sombre uncle who ...

The Undying Motherly Love

    " For every child,the mother's lap is a heaven, which gives a endearing touch of love to even, the most soulless of us." Often when we say mother,a gorgeous gracious silhouette of a woman begins to take shape in our mind's screen. But four years back, that image was replaced by a 4-legged,growling,grappling ferocious DOG!                        Surprised??How the dogs who know no more than to "play catch" taught me compassion? Well here we go..... 4 years back,in the ever bustling city of Bombay,where Time,Tide and Railways wait for no man, a dog became a mother to 3 new-born puppies,in the vicinity of my house. The cute little demons, who would soon grow up to be messiahs of Noise,now slept quietly coiled up for warmth. As you know Dogs are Man's best friends,but puppies make him go weak in the knees.So we all society members pledged to bring a little of whatever we could for those darl...
