Confession

It is Independence Day eve here in Milwaukee. People come from far parts of the country to lake shore and enjoy an hour long Independence Day fireworks. I spotted an old man with his pet iguana in the crowd. Seeing a lizard….. I am lost in the memories of my childhood again, this time I have traveled years behind.

Wrooooooooooom Black and White

Background: Class 5, Biology - Darwin Theory – Evolution….I was taught by biology teacher Lizards have evolved and develop a unique means of defense. Lizards drop their tails to fool predators.

Being a pampered kid then, I was curious to see Lizard’s supernatural powers in real. Luckily one evening I spotted a house lizard on our terrace. I was in a flash to find a broom stick to poke her tail, poor she …… as expected she let go her tail……Geee I guess I would have felt on cloud eleven that particular moment…Coooommmon……. I was still a kid……..This would have ended here if I had not got another extremely good idea. ….Yes!!!! I wanted to see her tail grow back…. Within no moment, plucked a leaf and grabbed her up and locked her in a translucent plastic box and closed the lid tight. I was now able to see her move around in box…Then I carefully hid the box amidst pots…..Some hours later I realized there will be no circulation of air in the box and she will die…. Soon I went back to terrace with a needle and made a few holes in the box…..and also I had to feed her.. I knew lizards eat ants.. so killed a couple of ants and using same needle forced the dead ants into the box ….Used a syringe to feed the box with some water… This continued for a couple of days. Later that week poor thing died coz of my torture……… I never got a change to see how lizards will grow their tails back

My curiosity had led to a brutal murder of a supernatural lizard.

Now Fast Forward 150 years: Wrooooooom

Scene: At the doors of heven in a queue

Life on earth ends, I am charged for all the these lizard murder sins by animal protection rights board in haven…….. Mrs. Menaka Gandhi is lawyer and Steve Irwin is Judge in “Animal Sin Clearance Court”

Menaka: Madhav Madhav you have inhumanly murdered a poor she lizard….you will also be answerable to woman rights protection board

I am pleading to Steve to bestow Mercy on me….
Steve ....Still I tried to be good kid by feeding the lizard her favorite dish Ants …….. Haven't I huh ???
