after all they too understand love and. | |
affection i had heard many nature lovers talk about. | |
love for animals but till date i have not been. | |
able to gather the courage to find out the. | |
truth and have also not nurtured any remote wish. | |
to do so so naturally it was not surprising for. | |
me to get apprehensive at the possibility of an. | |
attack from the monkeys and then. | |
i noticed bhabaprasad getting unduly. | |
assumed at the sudden apprehension that had gripped me. | |
have they ever harassed anyone say. | |
like destroying clothes and belongings. | |
or getting angry and clawing or gnawing. | |
at without letting me finish bhabaprasad explained that no. | |
such incident had ever occurred because the monkeys had. | |
by now understood that visitors came to the bungalow. | |
just for a night or two to rest and. | |
could never challenge their traditional supermacy like permanent residents. | |
in fact during their brief stayed a visitors. | |
either out of fear or love for. | |
natures resources would try to weave a temporary bond. | |
of friendship with the animals. | |
that in no way caused any obstruction. | |
to the dominance of the monkeys. | |
i did not let bhabaprasad know that i. | |
was not comforted by his assuagement. | |
he fits two buckets of water and. | |
placed them in the bathroom well water. | |
from where will you get municipal water here. | |
there were some traces of resentment in bhabaprasads straightforward. | |
reply it was natural because apart from the. | |
wells there could be no other source of. | |
water in the area the small hillocks in the. | |
surroundings made me realise that installing a tubewell was. | |
a difficult task because the rocks deep inside would. | |
surely cause obstructions to the pipes. | |
how far is the well if i can. | |
fits water myself when i need it. | |
i wont have to trouble you. | |
its quite nearby and can be seen from. | |
the back door of the bathroom. | |
bhabaprasad said. | |
compelling me to guess the location of. | |
the well with an indication of his finger. | |
you dont have to draw water from. | |
the well i will do it for you. | |
no i mean suppose i feel like cooling myself in. | |
he heat with a bucket of water. | |
why should i bother you so late. | |
there was some psychological reason for it. | |
and despite trying hard i had not been able. | |
