So anyway let me get to my story. This is a true story and so a lot of the characters are alive but a few have been cooked and eaten. What happened was that a few days back, mom asked the fishmonger to bring fresh crabs. When they arrived they were a little too fresh, a little too alive and jumpy. They started running all over the place with us chasing them. In the end we caught all except the one that went and hid itself in the drain. It's been there ever since and only come out at night. I wonder what it eats and what life in a drain is like. I guess it must be better than getting cooked and eaten. Life in strange like that, one moment you are complaining about how dirty the sea is and the next you are living happily in the drain.

Crabs ALIVE!!!
Its been a while since I posted something on the blog. I have been too busy/lazy in the past few weeks. Also it was too horribly hot in Chennai to think, let alone sit up and write something. Now I'm back home and it's raining almost everyday. I also find that I'm not expected to do anything around here and the rain stops me from doing anything anyway. So I find I have no real excuse not to update my blog that all you thousands of virtual (in the true sense of the word) readers cant live without.

so is ur mom teaching you to make crab curry or whatever?
finally some signs of life
by the way, did I ever tell you the story of how Amma found you in a drain before adopting you?
Be a vegetarian for a change, and you wont have to write about such things. Remember, the more you eat animals, the higher the chances of you being eaten (or at least mauled) by a man eating Royal Bengal Tiger in the Sunderbans.
