The ITI Zoo

Inside the ITI complex there is a Zoo..or at-least it used to be called one. I was enticed into visiting it as a student at school. One afternoon some friends of mine accosted me into believing there was a full time Zoo inside the ITI complex about which I was unaware of....Largely excited about visiting a Zoo at that age embarked upon a mis adventure of missing half day classes at school with the aim of seeing the Zoo.

This Zoo what my cronies were talking about was a thick set of vegetation adjacent to the temple near ITI circle and only had a couple of jackals in few enclosures and nothing more and could be a not so habitable place for a lad...though the entire place looked well-looked-after. Suddenly I found myself in the predicament of whiling away some five hours at a place which was anything but a Zoo.

Basically I was mis led into an adventure that too bunking school for one afternoon. Though there may not be anything very serious about this anecdote there is a lesson in it for Parents and young kids alike around the World ..the possibility of being mis led into something especially during fledgling years only to feel aghast about later..a victim of lack of experience and such instances can have rarely some kind of more serious consequences. Parents must be careful and protect their wards from mischief mongers whose victim some school going child could become a victim of..though prima facie the error would point to a kid who forays into such adventures for no primary fault of his.
