Today I met a squirrel under the banyan tree. It was a large one, larger than those I found in Delhi and in Mumbai. Well, he was not very happy to see me entering his private place. It looked at me with a hundred questions in its shiny eyes. Was he angry? Had he the power of a tiger, the squirrel had me torn up into piece. I looked at it too, equally confused and sad about his unwelcome gestures. Really I wished I could touch him and played with him. I didn’t advance my steps for fear of its hopping away. Also, I wished he understood that I didn’t intend to harm him but he didn’t appear to have read my mind. Slowly I turned back and walked home.
Tomorrow I will find him again and get closer to him. I am sure, he will become my friend.
