About 'em lizards!
I've had the priviledge of meeting all kinds of ummm... creatures here in NITK. (trust me, i
don't just mean the guy-folk out here!) what i really mean to say is, the variety of flora, fauna AND the insects they house ALONG WITH their respective reptile predator species is astonishing!all amazing to admire...
FROM AFAR...
NOT inside MY room, MY shelf or that sad excuse for a cupboard that we're provided with here in NITK's Girl's Block.Well having graduated from being petrified of these miniature Komodo-dragons to just giving them spiteful stares when we encounter, i think that hostel life in this wilderness has taught me something! A friend once suggested that if i could just name 'em all(i.e. the ones in my room here), i'll feel all chummy with 'em and i can get over this undying hatred that seems to be an innate inherent quality (mom's terrified of lizards, to say the least!).But after exhausting innovative names like Lizzie, Liz and Liza for the ones that(i baptised
and thought vehemently) belonged to the fairer sex, and King Liz I to XVIII, my imagination
ran dry. Moreover, who can keep track of the names and faces? So it was back to living with these four-legged creatures that saw the world upside-down from their coffee-shop on the ceiling.But there's this one particular lizard that efficiently scuttles in and out of my room whenever i open or close the door. (request on my behelf: DON'T tell my roomie... She's
worse than me... She'd FREAK out!!!)I find it really hard to believe myself, but i've developed a sort of liking for this chap.
He totally clears out of my path and just minds his own business. I am happy to say that we
share a healthy pseudo-paying-guest relationship. I give him the room, he gets rid of the
mosquitoes.
Hmmm... guess i've FINALLY realised that lizards are not so bad after all. AND that they'd
make great room-mates! Forget about ALL-OUT and stinky mosquito repellent coils. INSTEAD go get yourself a Liz-buddy today. Guaranteed protection from flies and mosquitoes in those dreary hours of the night when the electricity board decides to take a nap and cuts off the power supply...
