ALPENLIEBE and my Sleeping-mind

Three things that I cannot really boast about:

1. My observation from the Television

2. My memory in general

3. My sense of topographical direction



Recently, I have also exposed to some new friends, how weak my above related skills are. But of course, this does not interrupt my day-to-day life and still keeps me on a moderate profile job and brings in some money for the cheese! on the bread that my husband already brings home!



This tale is about this morning, when things were little different ..
I woke up late to find my husband starring at the TV since two hours then, with great adoration in his eyes for a group of men, two of them trying to hit the ball and the rest waiting for it to sway in their direction!!!! Anyway, I have never spoken positive about this game, so there is no special reason to be good today.



He moved on to the computer to check mails and I just sat on the sofa and looked at the TV screen very un-interestedly! It was Kajol on the screen, making little funny faces, and there was a crocodile ... I had to rub my eyes to confirm that it was not Ajay or SRK!!! No, it was the crocodile, the alpenliebe crocodile :-)

Kajol went on to explain - Just once I fed him with an alpenliebe at the zoo and since then he has been behind me ... actually today I also managed to notice the mosaic design in the crocodile's eyes as he tasted the toffee!!



Huh! I closed my eyes and wanted to drift back to sleep, and ish ... there was a stupid dirty board in front of my eyes ... I am sure the board was painted in yellow and red combination when it was first put in place. It read "Please dont feed animals". I still could not really recognise what I was seing .. then I saw my mother, she looked much younger, wow! and that was my favorite brown saree that I wanted to own after her, as I grew older .... and OMG, thats my dad!! he was plumper and healthier and his hair still had strands of black ... and suddenly there was someone jumping next to me, and I was non-reactive, obviously must be my brother, i dont even have to turn back to confirm that, hahahaha



This was all too much to take on a sunday morning, and then I saw the white tiger ... Oh My! i am at the zoo . Calcutta Zoo ... I loved the white tiger, always .. what colour, what grace ... I could also recollect the poem "tiger" by William Blake .. but why all this now, I actually want a coffee ... and then it was that dirty board again and yes, there was something in Bengali, the words had faded with time ... sense of the language in me, as well!



Then I heard my husband actually screaming - wake up, there is no tiger here, who is blake? Your client? your sales person in the UK, US?



Piiicccchhhh .... Oh God ... I atlast woke up, eyes bright and open and I am sure I gave a very stupid look, for my husband just sighed and sat back on his chair, he had now shifted attention to the daily.


Thank you conscience ... you observed what my awake mind never saw - for so long ...



What Kajol did was violation of the rule that animals in zoo should not be fed with anything other than authorities approved food .. what wrong ideas the advertisement was suggesting for the young minds ... a mother of two, an icon, a celebrity, member of a dignified family, offers alpenliebe to a crocodile in a zoo at her age of 35 (just a guess!!)



Huh!



Now, I may not want to debate for my topographical sense of direction, but yo friends, my observation and memory ain't that bad, after all!!!



Good Week Guys!
