This scene at Coimbatore was a special sight! To see an elephant being escorted along a busy road is not usual now-a-days as there are some restrictions about movements of elephants in public places.
So such a sight fascinated many who stopped their vehicles to have a closer look at the elephant!
Every time I sight an elephant, what surprises me most is the way it follows the instructions with ease. Some elephants go through three years or more of training before they are used for different purposes!
It is a challenge to train an elephant, but it is also an art! When Anna and I visited a training centre of elephants last year we noticed that the training includes introducing obedience skills along with lots of compliments, praises and rewards!
The best response of behaviour is brought about by complementing them!
