Silk

Just the other day I had been to the silk exhibition. Little did I realize that a ghastly sight was awaiting me. Now, try to picturize this. There's a child sleeping, fully covered from head to toe in a blanket. Take it with the blanket and put in boiling hot water! can you bear the sight?

substitute the child with a worm.the blanket with a cocoon, which the worm has made for its personal development. and lo and behold! you get the process of getting silk. well, ultimately it's a personal choice of what to wear and what not. but definitely i wouldnt want to wear a product of such torture.

I picked up one of the cocoons which was awaiting its turn and heard its sounds of silence. That was it's death knell. Nature throws open numerous options, but then it's upto the human to select the most humane option.

Maya, even this shall pass away
