Friends Forever!
During my visit to Odisha, I came across Dambroo Santha (60), a native of Baalujaran block, Nabarangpur.
What fascinates me was his interest towards rearing mice. He says, "Since childhood, I'd been rearing mice and always spend time with them".
Dambroo carries these tiny creatures in a red color pot filled with wild grass which keeps them safe. His day begins by pulling them out of the pot and giving them enough space to enjoy fresh air and Sun. He takes them into his hands and gives them a head massage. It gives a tingly feeling to the mouse and it relaxes.
He finally adds, "Like you people in cities rear dogs and cats, I love to have mouse as my friend".
