Futile. This waiting.

Silence of a Valley

Maruthan, an Irula tribe lives in the forests of Attapady (Silent Valley National Park, Kerala)

"Aren't you scared of going to the jungles alone at your age?" "Who will feed us if I sit idle at home?" "Hmmm. Do you see wild animals when you go there?" "Yes. Pythons, cobras, bears, wild boars, leopards." "Wow! Which is the most vicious animal you have ever encountered in the jungle?" "Man."

The Devil is also in the Details

To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.

- William Blake

Cold

For some inscrutable reason, he decided to have a snake for a pet. He was fearless and he loved the snake. It would coil and sleep on his bed every night. One day, he found that the snake was lying straight next to him. It wasn't eating anything either. Worried, he decided to consult the vet. "Do you think he is sick?" "For how long has this been happening?" "For the past two days." "Get rid of him right now. He is measuring you." -A real life incident as narrated to me by Cheryl Ann Couto
