Dear Readers..........who read my blog .... and who think I'm a little off in the head.
On reading this please do believe that I am not really any more eccentric than I normally am. It's just that my differently-abled mind 'sees' a lot more.
I came back from work this afternoon to find that Chico had once again (for the umpteenth time) pulled down some pencils. Now, in our house pencils are held in high esteem. They are all over the house. Mostly soft leaded pencils. I keep my pencils on my desk, on my bed, on the bedside table, all over the drawing room. The cats have free access to pencils for an occasional chew or to play 'chase and roll' with them. Not one of us mind. Cats will play with pencils. And we are all so used to picking up pencils on coming home.
Today Chico and Iago had got hold of my graphite pencil and it was lying on the drawing room floor. I was getting myself to give me 5 minutes to keep my bag, have a glass of water, and then go pencil-picking. At the back of my mind was the precious graphite pencil. I walked back into the drawing room to see Rampyari's baby (Rampyari is a a squirrel) holding the bright blue Steadtler pencil between his paws and the little squirrel was scribbling away on a piece of brownpaper (also on the floor....thanks to Chico? Iago?). The baby squirrel was intently looking at his work of art on the brown paper and Chico was sitting on the divan watching the squirrel with total amusement.
Now, I do not have a camera. However, I will hold this picture in my mind for a long time to come. A squirrel attempting to write/draw with a pencil....... a cat watching the whole procedure. It is a priceless shot.
Please do believe ...... this writing is NOT a work of fiction. This sort of madness can only happen in the old house by the grave yard.
I do believe in Magic.
