Elephant at Sea - Kanishk Tharoor - 108 / 365 of reading one short story every day.

Elephant at Sea

Kanishk Tharoor


'Elephant at Sea' a story by Kanishk Tharoor, is the journey path of an elephant from being a gift for the kings and royals of Morocco and used as transport in many places in Kerala.


The story transforms into a journey through the mind and thinking of the elephant just as a human would think.. It deals with the loss of its natural habitat and the familiar places and fellow animals. Its deals with loneliness just as a human would. Can we do without our homeland after a point of time?


Similarly, as a human would adjust and assimilate to his environment, the animal adapts to its new environment.
