There is a broken clock here that still shows the time.
I remember memories of being called Mowgli, of growing up
reading and watching this classic. There's Bhageera, the black panther because of whom my favorite animal will always be a panther. There's Akela, the leader of the pack and there's Baloo, the joy and wisdom ridden bear. But the most fascinating thing was how the jungle came alive. How it was a living breathing being. And there was Sher Khan and he was hell bent on not letting Mowgli get accepted in the pack or the jungle. In its essence the story was about how Mowgli tried to fit in, both as a wolf and a man, as an animal and man. Maybe he was neither or both.
In the end that is what our stories will be about, did we belong or no. Were we loved or no.
We all have a Mowgli inside us, mine is just a little more Junglier.
