It was a rainy night and I sat gazing out of my window, pondering on what to write for my next post. Bent upon muddling up my thought process, a gang of boisterous mosquitoes kept buzzing around me in circles and assaulting my whole body at their own will. It seemed as though that there was an entire annoying family that was synergizing on capitulating my patience.
The notorious family was a stickler of perseverance. One by one , mother, father, son, daughter, granma, granpa, uncle and god knows whoever ,went on to churn out a volley of bites across the entire cross section of my body, and making me go all “Aw..Ouch..eek..oo..ehh”. Trying to concentrate on the task at hand, I ignored them for a while. But then it never seemed to end.After being patient for about 15 minutes,That was it. I decided. The protagonist inside me sprang to life and I decided to teach these annoying creatures a lesson. “uh..oh”, Ironically, they had indeed succeeded in breaching my rock-solid patience(Or was it? ).Jumping up and down ineptly, I started squatting them fervently, with my bare hands one by one. I must have looked like a clumsy kolattam dancer, I guess .
Each mosquito I killed, seemed to heighten my pleasure and the sadist within me started dancing away to glory. Thoughts about the post , took the back seat and gradually started waning away. After ten grueling minutes, I was about to celebrate my silver jubilee mosquito when ”Pop! went the 50th mosquito and Pop! Came an idea for my post!”. “Oh..my..gawd! ha….ah..ahah. I got an idea finally!”, I broke loose like the annoying Janus in Friends. It’s definitely a bizarre case. I decided. How could someone strike up an idea when involved in something as brutally moronic and loony as this? Well, Whatever man! End of the day, an idea is an idea. I got the idea that’s it! ”yipeee..yipeee…whoaaaaaaaa”, I rolled away merrily.
If you people are poking your heads on what great idea I could have got, Let me tell you guys its nothing so great! nothing great at all.But then its an idea anyway. Again…an idea is an idea? Right?…”heheheheh….:):)…hohohho..;-) ”. Before anybody of you can whack me black and blue, let me tell you about it right away.
I am going to do a wild life series with a slight difference. In this, I would be touching upon the lives of quite a few wild species of the world. As customary, In the beginning would be giving basic details such as physical features, habitat, food habits, life span and social structure of the species. But then that’s not it. Since , my highpoint is always fiction, I wanted to experiment a new genre(to me its new) of blending fiction with the facts.
So , in each of these series, I am going to try and Invent a short story based on the species under discussion. The facts would be listed down in the beginning of the story and then the story would follow. I will try to make it as brief as possible. Let me just say that it is going to be 70% fiction and 30% facts.
Before I say bye, Let me leave an obvious clue on what species I would be taking up first.
Clue : Have you guys seen the famous animated movie, Madagascar ?(yes! You guessed it right!)
I would be posting the first one shortly……..:-). Bye till then .
