Friggin flies
Why does India have to be so infected ? what is the problem.
Every house that I have been part of, there has been some kind of an irritation or the other. Really. what is the problem ?
Chennai - T. Nagar - Mosquitoes. atleast 20-30 killed a day. I think my dad had that as his other occupation.
Chennai - Annanagar - Lizards. No wait. First mosquitoes. Hundreds of them. and one lizard. maybe two. they were small and frail back then... in a matter of months they had become healthy, and were qualified movers on the turf. The turf was a small passage which connected the hall to the different bedrooms and the kitchen. There was a fridge on the way, the lizards abode. Man how many times has my mom come running out squealing to the hall, scared by a lizard or having stamped on one of them. One thing has to be said about lizards (atleast the ones at home then). They were fearless and focussed.
We used to eat food on ground, in the hall. The lizards would come almost a foot close to us, following a flying mosquito(which of course used to roam around aimlessly till it was slapped down by one of us). We would at times get up and move away (almost respectfully) while the lizard would have its eyes glued on the damn fly.
Bangalore Koramangala - Mosquitoes. Flies. Cockroaches. Not too many mosquitoes in comparison to Chennai, but all the same big ones which would probably suck out equal amount of blood all the same.
Cockroaches are a major problem. They are not the swiftest of movers, but they fly around at the right times. Wasps are also a pain, since u dont wanna go too close to them but still wanna get rid of them. God why cant I open the windows on a saturday morning for some fresh air ? Dont flies get an off on weekends ?
Bangalore Kalyan Nagar - Flies. I stay in the fourth floor, and most flies dont really venture out that high. So those who reach the fourth floor are probably fighters in life. So they will pain the shit out of u.
They would fly above ur head, get into your t-shirt through the small gap behind ur neck. They would fly for some time and stop at some place on the floor (probably right in front of me).. and then smell the air.. then walk around a little and then just when I am getting ready to smack it, fly away to their new location.
The only approach to these things is the one which my friend followed - take ur slipper and nail it wherever it is (I remember he nailed one fly on a calendar, which had the picture of God. Then he put the slipper down and prayed for forgiveness). Kill 'em all !
