"A SMALL ENCOUNTER"

There are some things you just can't forget in life-be it good or bad..if u wanna remember then you gonna remember it..!glancing through the title..dont get it all wrong.(that is..if you thought i'm talking about the "police encounter" :P) Nah..im sure you wouldn't think that way..but even if you did..you will have to stop thinking it that way because what you are thinking is incorrect since I'm not actually narrating about what you are thinking so.......HUH!!OKAY NOW..I HAVE BEEN BLABBERING!!!I WONT WASTE ANY MORE OF YOUR TIME...
This encounter...rather encounters I'm mentioning are just the few interactions i had with some fellows...memorable..indeed...and the fellows i'm mentioning are actually animals :)
My native place-Manjeshwar is nothing less than a jungle..I mean there are humans residing ofcourse..but the place is just filled with more of animals than of human beings..!Now don't start wondering if my relatives are human beings... :O
This encounter was quite funny..My granny's house is filled with a large number of cats..and this black and white was really a sexy one!They ain't like the city cats who just run away if they notice you from a mile..they don't fear humans..!This 1 was really cool..I mean she supposedly was the 1 whoz responsible for the entire generation there.I went out into the compound and saw her in a cute pose and immediately wanted to take a pic of her!I took out my phone and she gave a "what the heck "grin..and simply shut her eyes in irritation..I can't explain it here but it was "insulting" x-( I mean that expression was indeed INSULTING!!!I dint bother though..just as i was about to click the "capture" option...I yelled like oooowwwwww....!!!!!I was bitten by a black ant..!!!! I had already seen the guy...but i dint bother because i presumed he'd be like any other hyderabadi black ant(who don't bite)..but he did..and it really hurt..i can still recollect the pain...I'm damn sure I yelled out loud but that dint disturb the chick a bit(chick here is the cat..don't get confused.. :P)She gave another disgusting look at me like.."what a stupid human" grin..and that was even more insulting..I mean any other cat would have run away thinking I yelled at her...but this one didn't ..as a matter of fact..my shriek didn't even disturb her..she had the same cold eyes which she had earlier..only that her look had got even more sarcastic than earlier and that look was definitely for me...!!!huh...anyway at the end,I successfully took her pic.I don't know how many people have been insulted by a cat like that.....and even if they have..would they realise??? :P think about it ;)
All of us know that the ants work together all the while..have you ever SEEN that??I DID... :D
I mean..there it was different..all of them-the cats,the dogs,the birds,the mongoose...every1 over there fought for food..but I was taken aback after witnessing these folks co-operating with each other amidst a bunch of such characters..!!A big chapati piece..on the ground..and the ant taking it along with him with great effort..(the chapati piece was big for HIM...don;t start imagining him to be a super-ant that he'd carry the full chapati).Another ant came from the opposite direction and now I was all excited and ready to watch an "ant-fight".Unfortunately for me..they spoke something for a while..don't think I'm mad..i watched them closely..i did see them talking..dint hear them obviously but i knew they were communicating..and then to my shock..both of them were now taking it together to the first guy's destination.!!Man..I was damn surprised and that was when I remembered that "working together" theory of theirs...after a few steps another guy came from their left side..all the 3 talked again and this guy joined them too..I couldn't watch any further coz they entered their destination-a pin sized hole..huh....Isn't it cute??ok..even if u dint find it cute..it was bcoz of my narration..watching it is really amazing..so the next time..make sure you don't miss an ant carrying something..even if there are no ants anywhere around him..1 will come from nowhere and help him... :P
If I have bored you with the earlier 2 encounters by any chance...I'm sorry.. :P by the way..it was you who came to read the blog..right??ok,no offence please..Im glad you came in to read my blog..Bet you..this last 1 won't bore you...
A country person might not find this interesting but a city dweller will..Tell me...have you stood atleast 2meters distance from a crow??...I actually sat beside a crow..as if both of us were watching a sunset together or having a romantic breakfast with each other...That's how these country crows are-bold,fearless,daring,so full of arrogance and attitude...I'm falling short of adjectives currently to describe them..but a better way to put all of their description is that they can be called-gangsters..!! :O I was sitting at the entrance of my grandma's kitchen and having my breakfast...you know..dosa..it was nice..I don't really like dosas..but that day it was good and I was accompanied by atleast 5 crows..The kitchen actually opened into a big green compound filled with trees and bird noises and cats and dogs...all the possible things you can find in a natural greenery...!While I was eating..I was feeding them too..you won't beleive..but they were standing near my feet..!When my grandma realised that all of us were feasting together instead of me alone..she was frustrated..scolded me and drove them away..However..they dint go very far..they were about 7 steps away from me now!!they tried coming near...but I drove them away...lest my granny screws me again..NOW THE HIGHLIGHT-remember..?i'm sitting at the entrance..half inside half outside..I just tore a piece from the dosa..and my grandma called from inside to ask if I'd have tea or coffee..mind it..the piece is still in my hand..I just peeped inside for a second to answer her and I felt a sudden jerk over my fingers...!!I was dumbstruck for a while..I dint realise what exactly happened..i was numb for atleast 10 seconds..and there I saw a crow eating a piece of dosa which looked exactly like the one I was holding..!!!I was like.."excuse me..what exactly happened??where did he get that piece from and why does it look like the one which I have in my....OH MY GOD!!!THE PIECE AIN'T THERE IN MY HAND!!!I was numb for a few more seconds and when I recovered...I suddenly remembered the jerk I had felt while I peeped inside..THAT CROW ACTUALLY SNATCHED IT FROM MY HAND..COZ HE WAS DRIVEN AWAY AND HE KNEW I WASN'T HELPING HIM WITH HIS BREAKFAST ANYMORE...SO "STEAL"!!Man..I tell you..it was shocking..I really was dumbstruck and in awe..Here I am..used to these city crows who fly off even if you are a couple of miles away from them and herez 1 who actually snatched a dosa piece from my hand??!!!When I thought about it later..I thought it was hilarious..and every1 whom I narrated it to..had a hearty laugh..My mother agreed about the crows..she told me she was once chased by atleast 20 crows and was being pecked...the reason?the earlier day she had picked up a baby crow which had fallen off it's nest and placed it back there..!So..you see they indeed are "gangsters"..atleast local gangsters.. :P This particular thing happened a couple of years ago..but even today when i recollect it..i find it funny and have a hearty laugh :)
So..there goes..there are many more..but these were worth mentioning..I really have a deep attachment towards animals and somehow I do get to interact with them.Be it with that cat..who insulted me or that kitten..who runs away from every1 and still is MY friend..or the furious mastiff and german shepherd dogs in my lane who bark at every1 except me..or the lovebirds who have built a nest in my house balcony..We all live in one world after all..and these funny or ridiculous "encounters" which I have with them..only makes me love them more and more and more......
