"Lucy swoops on a trapeze across a sky
twinkling with diamonds, Mr Kite presides
over a psychedelic circus of stiltwalkers
and acrobats, and the unmistakable voices of John,
Paul, George and Ringo fill the surround sound-equipped arena.
The animal was kept overnight in a police station
after being seized at a rally in which it was used
to highlight alleged failings of local officials.
Police said the donkey was evidence from the "scene
of a crime". They have been accused of animal cruelty.
The donkey's owners, meanwhile, say they are grateful
to get it back after its period of incarceration.
They say that while it is good to have it home again,
it is even more stubborn and bad-tempered than normal.

It packs so little value that merry kids chuck
pennies into the fountain near the candy store,
just to watch them splash and sink.
Stray pennies turn up everywhere: in streets,
cars, sofas, beaches, even landfills with the
rest of the garbage.
A penny bought a loaf of bread in early America,
but it's a loafer of a coin in an age of inflation
and affluence, slowly sliding into monetary
obsolescence.
For the first time, the U.S. Mint has said pennies
are costing more than 1 cent to make this year,
thanks to higher metal prices. "The penny is
going to disappear soon unless something
changes in the economics of commodities,"
says Robert Hoge, an expert on North American
coins at The American Numismatic Society.
This dear friend/foster mother/guardian and
very hip lady passed away in her sleep last week.
My memories of her are many precious ones
and cover a span of 49 years. Unbelievable.
When URine Mahabaleshwar, URine luck !
