Hi frnds,
Today i would like to introduce you all to my fishy pals (no pun intended :- ) )
On my 21st bdy, my friends gifted me a fish tank, something that I was yearning to have for a long time.For the first time when I set my eyes on them, I thought i was hallucinating. What a joy it ws to know that they r for real. Isn't it the best gift for a piscean?
There were eight cute dahlings in all ( 2 gold fishes, 2 guppies and 4 red eyed fishes). We guys, had a whale of a time transferring them from the plastic cover to their new abode,my fish tank. They were the most mischievous and playful lot. One of ma friends took many pictures of them in different poses. You should hav seen them, guys. They would hav put all the starlets to shame with the grace and composture they exuded while their pictures were been taken.As the days went by, my hot topic of discussion were my adorable piscean frnds. They took the centerstage at ma home, as if they wer some newborn babies on whom each of ma family member fretted upon. On the days that I ws tired, I would just plonk onto the sofa and ma eyes would linger on them. Their playfulness would instantly cheer me up. At times, I would talk to them and they would look at me with their all knowing eyes though i always wondered whether ma blabbering made any sense to them. Once I had gone out and hence couldn't feed them on time. As soon as I reachd hme, I ws greeted with angry splashes of water as if they wer complaining to me. They ignored me for days on end by not responding to my call until they felt i have suffered ma share for neglecting them. My fishes were just lik me,sensitive to the core. Thus, the days went by.One day, I woke up 2 find one of the guppies dead. I cudnt bear to luk at her. My heart broke to see her still body. I never knew that my cute friends wer so important to me until I lost her. Her death made me realise that the bond that bound us was stronger than I had ever imagined...

ReplyDeleteHere's my opinion bout your blog as promised:
ReplyDeleteThe criticism first. I found your writing style a bit too emotions-focused for my taste, but then that's me. :-)
At the same time, the language you used is very engrossing and interesting. It is difficult to believe that you never considered writing before this.
Now, the best part. The colors and pictures you've selected, and the way you've used them is simply mindblowing. You should have opted for designing instead of engineering.
There, I've said it all. Hope you liked it. Eagerly waiting for further posts. :-)
If you could share such a bond with those water babies, just think of the social animals whom you know....;-)
