Who can hear a Who!!!

Being a small kid years back, I had an imagination when playing with small small insects and creatures... Looking down at the tiny world of ants and flies, I had wondered many a times whether there will be someone or something; some creature who consider we humans as some tiny creature... I imagined some field of a fig fat creature upon whose field we humans were like dusts, invisible to the whole ‘big’ world... The imagination of the kid then was not based on any “Horton Hears a Who!” which was a 1954 book by Dr. Seuss... I never read that book when I was small...

Growing up, learning about the universe and the galaxies around, the childish imagination were replaced by scientific facts...

Later finding the book above and later, watching the movie last day... I found it was not a silly childish imagination... ‘it’s everybody’s’...

The book/movie tells the story of story of Horton the Elephant who, on the fifteenth of May in the Jungle of Nool, hears a small speck of dust talking to him. It turns out the speck of dust is actually a tiny planet, home to a city called "Whoville", inhabited by microscopic-sized inhabitants known as Whos... The Whos ask Horton (who, though he cannot see them, is able to hear them quite well) to protect them from harm, to which Horton happily obliges telling "a person's a person, no matter how small"... It tells Horton’s journey across the woods to save the tiny world from his neighbors, who refuse to believe that anything could survive on the speck...

Though a very short film, it has enough stuff for entertainment... with the voice of Jim Carrey along with some cool animation, the movie is funny altogether...

So next time when you look down upon any ‘small world’... we are not the mightiest.... we are just miniatures in the whole universe... who knows there are mighty ones somewhere in the galaxy....
