I went to the zoo today.

So, since I am not an eight year old, I was pretty much bored. My friends enjoyed a lot. Since, I do not own a digicam, handy-cam, camera cell phone, and I do not have the urge/compulsion/slightest enthusiasm for making short video films titled "The last possible reason why the lion roared", or "Why have the monkeys stopped consuming the nuts thrown at them" or "Look, the hippo actually wagged its tail after 3 hours 26 minutes 45 seconds and 12 frames of standing still", I was generally just looking at the animals and trying to figure out what they were thinking.
so this is what I came up with.

Animal #1, [thinking aloud] :-

Oh my God, look at that girls' skirt!!!!. Is this a fashion show or is this a zoo? These human females I tell you.For once, the animals should grab some eye-balls. I mean its a zoo for God's sake!


Animal # 2, [conversing with animal #4565 in what we call a telepathic mode of communication]

Hey, whats up with the crowd outside your cage man? What? They're taking your snaps? Did they feed you?.. Ah, shucks, these humans always have such pathetic aim, I tell you, the nuts always fall into the gutter. I mean yeah, they Don't even care.Like they could eat the nuts themselves. Why throw if you know you have bad aim. Yeah, thats their problem. They know but they won't admit.Ever.


Animal # 3, [engaged in a deeply philosophical monologue].

*yawn*. These college kids have actually bunked classes to come see us in the Zoo?? I mean it was okayish with kids and their over-enthusiastic parents and PDA wannabes. But actual college students? Whatever happened to the discotheques and bowling alleys and the plain simple college canteen for that matter.

And it was here that I realized that I should stop pretending to be an animal and own up to these thoughts being my own bored musings.The irony being, it was I who had uttered the word "Zoo" when the people around me were frantically discussing where to go after bunking classes.I mean why do people always have to take me seriously when clearly, I am joking.[and vice-versa too, but thats besides the point, coz thats not the question in hand].

So I saw a lot of tigers and lions and suchlike. I discovered that an obscure cobweb is likely to entertain me more than some random capped-comedian.I also figured out that I can get pretty bored under situations when there are like a total of six people around me clicking pictures like mad-hatters and worse still, clicking pictures of exotic goats and red-backed monkeys.I also discovered that I can like totally bring about my own doom.

so people wish me luck, coz from what I can see, a concept of mine is on the verge of getting chosen, for a class project. It, [my concept script] is most obviously waiting in what we all like referring to as "the waiting list". It will make it to the final list only and only if my presentation is impressive enough. For the presentation, my dear friends is all about me concocting a whole ten-minute movie script by tonight.So wish me luck, coz if my script is among the chosen seven out of thirty-five odd concepts, I shall probably be dancing the Tooooblee-to-do-todooo dance and shall in the meanwhile also be considering that the whole theory of "why a certain me is like,not a total loser" still stands a chance.

Also, I would really like it, if I grew up to write a book like this.
