Delhi — A surprising new trend is taking over the therapy industry, leaving psychologists baffled and several elephants in demand.
Elephant in the Room or Therapist on Duty?
Indian elephants, long believed to be creatures of profound emotional depth, have now begun mobilizing their inner feelings to benefit their human counterparts. Shritan Das, a notorious local psychiatrist, claims to have cracked the communication code, allowing humans to tap into the emotional plethora of elephants. After countless hours feeding them peanuts and whispering sweet nothings into those large, traumatically sensitive ears, Das hit the jackpot.
A newfound understanding of elephant emotions has opened up an untapped market for what some are calling “elephotherapy”. Entrepreneurs are lining their pockets with rupees by the handful, as the average Indian realizes that they’re more likely to discuss their problems with a large placid mammal than with a clinical psychologist.
Counting Bills and Filling Trunks
With the promise of receiving therapy from elephants, clients are quickly filling appointment slots, and cash is being thrown at these pachyderm profesionals. The government, recognizing the economic potential, plans to launch a nationwide initiative – ‘Elephant Empathy’. However, local uncles remain sceptical about shelling out hard-earned cash to have “baban” the elephant be their sounding board.
Awareness, though nascent, is rising. Billboards featuring teary-eyed elephants saying “Hathi Hug is all you need” are gracing city skylines, causing traffic congestion and several existential crises in the middle of rush hour. But that’s a small price to pay for the emotional solace an elephant offers.
A Word with the Mastermind
The original elephant whisperer, Dr Shritan expressed his views about this new trend. “People don’t take me seriously when I say elephants hold wisdom within those wrinkly brains of theirs. They’ve seen it all, man. We’re just reaping their emotional rewards now,” he declared. The quote was promptly interrupted by his assistant, who pointed out that his 3 pm appointment, Kali the elephant, was waiting.
