Me, my toddler and our date with The Elephant Whisperers
Hindustan TimesIndia woke up to two phenomenal victories at the recent Oscars. To cherish the other win, I watched The Elephant Whisperers with my two-year old daughter, writes Alpana The film is about Bellie and Bomman, two people being parents to babies, baby elephants to be precise. These were some of the many responses I garnered while “the elephant whisperers” were going about their uber cool and unconventional everyday routine. With many millennial parents gyrating to Cocomelon, Zappy Toons and Pinkfong rhymes, I decided to take the road scarcely taken and experience this film with my child, a calm, non-stimulating and enriching work of art. Of course, we ended with my child exclaiming and murmuring and babbling, “Mumma, elephant taking bath.. With babies.” Watch it with your kids if you haven’t already and watch them learning a thing or two from the real world, fascinating yet so illuminating for all beings, young and old.
