The Penguin’s way

Surfing on the net for a while landed me to story of a Romantic movie. I always thought that this feeling of insanity (being in love) is limited Bollywood with some exceptions in Hollywood. But this read made me realize that animals are also insane the same way our bollywood stars are. Nevertheless, hesitantly I started the reading. The entire read was indeed very beautiful.

The movie talked about the different ways of proposing your love. The one I liked the most is about penguin way of expressing it.

Penguins are unique creatures, and are the only creatures that have the same life long mates. Once they are committed, they are committed forever. I cannot imagine how their brains would have been designed!! And, of course, the choice of choosing mate is given to females.

To propose love, they have a unique way. Male penguin searches the entire beach shore for the most beautiful pebble. Once he is sure that this pebble is the one, he picks it up and places in front of the feet of female penguin. If the female accepts the pebble, they are said to commit lifelong. This commitment continues even after one of them dies. Isn’t that beautiful?

I could draw an analogy between this beautiful pebble and the solitaire ring. But, I guess, getting the most beautiful pebble is more difficult then getting the ring. Also, I had a question, how do penguins recognize each other in the sea of penguins??

Anyways, the entire read was completely new to me and I thought I should share it. This read made me realize that there is, at least, one living creature on the earth for whom, living for love and commitment is so important.

And, by the way, Can you guess the movie??
