GOAT-MY FANTASY

           Gandhi ji always had a goat with him.I can't remember when this idea became my obsession that we should develop a goat culture. We love to have a dog.Some like to keep cats. Some go for rabbits. Some love parrots, pigeons and hens  Why don't we start having a goat? Of course there will be some problems but the solutions are always possible.I kept on thinking and thinking about various advantages of rearing a goat and would have loved to have a goat. And thus the animal of my dreams became my fantasy.
           If we had a goat culture, we would have got accustomed to the sounds a goat made--some of joy, some for food and some expressing pain.While keeping a goat-especially in a flat --the space would have been a problem.For this we could tie it in a balcony  or could allot  it a bathroom if we had two.Second problem would have been its poo or potty. As is well known, necessity is the mother of invention. So the market would have been flooded with diapers.Goat clinics would have sprung up here and there. Goat care houses would also have been taking care of your goats in case of your going for vacations . Goat maternity homes would also have sprung up. Similarly other problems would also have got solutions.
            So here comes my fantasy. We are having a goat culture. We can see people taking their goats for a stroll. People are seen discussing about their goats.Sometimes while roaming in front of the houses poor goat attends to its nature's call  or grabs some precious plants and a scene is created on the road. Now your goat takes care of all your organic waste.And in return you get milk as well.The milk vendors go on strike and people envy you as you are tensionfree in this position. Your children are getting healthy milk. Dengu has spread all around and your goat has beome the envy of many but your proud. Its milk is available in the market for 2 or 3 thousand bucks a kilo  but you can now oblige  many.Your goat has gone for delivery but don't worry for the expenditure ,you will get a deal from tbe maternity home for goats.So we see that tbis goat culture has more pluses than minuses.If only it could happen!
