lovable animal

The farmville bull is a magnificent  animal.
One of z better animated parts of Farmville.
He is cool.

Smiles. Calmly. Do live bulls smile?
He's satisfied with his life.
Scratches z ground. Closes his eyes. Puffs. If I had a farm & a farmhouse, I would want an animal just like z Farmville bull.
& z farmville piglet.
 It does not look stupid like z farmville pigs.
It turns it's head & closes it's eyes.
Like it knows how cute it is.
Just gives you a demo ... huge eyes. I want an animal just like z farmville piglet. Of course it will grow up.
& they'll both die.
Humans are so tediously long-living in comparision.
Once I found a baby squirrel. It's parents must have died, eaten by some cat.
It was mousy, & raw pink, its tail was bare & its eyes were shut.
We fed it with an ink dropper.
It lived. It grew. It grew hair.
It's name was Meechu.
It scurried around. I fed it, but din't know how to teach it to climb a tree. & certainly not how to teach it to forage for food.
She grew a bushy tail. She started sporting stripes. She started looking like a real little squirrel. She sat in my hand quietly.
I never heard her call.
I've read about people rearing orphaned baby squirrels & releasing them in z wild.
But there was something that I din't do right.
I do not know what that was.
One day in winter, I woke up & found her dead.
I buried her under z Lemon tree.
The neighbours were playing "Sexy eyes" when I was digging. I remember Meechu when I hear that song.

Single

Proud to be single & unavailable !
A situation can mean so many different things to different people!
Recently I congratulated an old classmate when she (while I was online) changed her facebook status to married.
She replied saying she wasn't,
& had changed the status to ward off unwelcome advances ...
Never knew such was needed! Who knows, maybe successful single (read available) & mature (in THIS case, read bitter) women are so much in demand!
If I really were single, & had disposed of, or shaken off daily-basis responsibilities towards others (non-spouse-non-offspring), God knows what I'd be doing ...
Maybe I'd take an IVO foreign posting (if they gave me) ... perhaps I'd have become a RD personality before I die?
or maybe loan my way into Cambridge, knowing fully well I'll never be able to repay my way back home ...
or maybe I'd have gone back to Hyd, which I love, & watched it turn crowdier & unrulier ... & battled the cliche's & bitterness of "the field" ... (rehabilitation), perhaps I'd have become another of those old spinsters of Disability Rehab in India!!!
or maybe I'd have gone joined 'Rupantar' & lost myself in z roughness of this state ...Chhattisgarh
If suppose I also had a lot of money - none my own, but mine to spend ... well -  that's a completely different imagination altogether ...

About Me

Why does anyone write? Mostly, because they cannot help it ... Speaking requires an audience. Writing does not require a readership. When I started this blog, I was new at my job, just about to get married, highly confused about what to do with life, highly dissatisfied with myself, & devoid of any "responsibilites" as they say in Indian Middle Class. Oh yes! Also, I used to imagine the populace to be divided into 3 equal thirds, economically, & the middle third was the middle class. I was a "Young adult". Now I am a middle-aged auntie. & I have found out that the lower 90% is the lower class, the top 1% is the upper class, & I am the 9%.
