This is the tale of four friends — and the strength that emerges in uncertain times.

Different in every way, yet they spent their days together in harmony.
But one day, a hunter appeared, But together, they escaped!

📚 Inspired by Book Four of Panchatantra Series: Labda pranasam (Loss of gains)
This is the tale of the Musical Donkey. There is always a proper place and time for doing anything.
But in life and in work, we often mistake noise for music, and enthusiasm for wisdom.
The donkey’s necklace is a reminder: Ignore wise counsel, and the market, like the farmers, will always deliver its own verdict

🍷 Wine: Rose Wine (2024 Vintage)
📚 Inspired by Book Three of Panchatantra Series: Kakolukiyam (The Story of Crows and Owls)
This is the tale of a Mouse which rejected the mighty and powerful kings. Instead she chose another mouse to wed.
I’ve heard the story of Mouse’s choice as an analogy in countless conversations while growing up, a reminder tucked into our everyday choices.
It comes with the saying: “what is in-born, can never change”

🎙️ Script and Narration Created by Madhavi for a Panchantra tale
🍷 Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon (2023 Vintage)
📚 Inspired by Tantra 5: Aparikshitakarakamu (Actions without thought)
This tale of the four treasure-seekers is one that lingers, a reminder of how easily desire can tip into greed. As a child, I heard stories of the eight forms of wealth to be cherished. Perhaps, in between them all, lies a twilight zone we must tread carefully. Until next time.
