Quack Quack!

I had just got my coffee and was on the way to the library when I spotted these two guys. It was a Saturday, the sun was nice and warm, and they were slowly quacking. "Quack........Quack", mind you. Not "Quack Quack".



I was plainly feeling a bit too jealous :) So I decided to savor their moment and captured them on my new HTC Evo (Aha! I totally had to bring it in :P )

Well, do you think that was the last I saw of them? Nope! Today, I saw the same two ducks (am sure they are the same) and this time they were waddling behind the library. I started thinking about how these ducks have it made. I am sure these guys are a couple! I don't know why, but there are certain living species that I can totally connect to. They are ducks, walruses, pigs, sloths and the Indian cow - in no particular order. Every time I look at one of these guys, I feel this inner urge to join them - in doing nothing.

Ducks. Not the flappy swimmy ones (I can't swim!). But the ones who just waddle around all day in the pond. Pigs can fit right in too. Love their oinks! I am afraid I have never really seen a walrus or a sloth in real life - but I have heard enough about them! But no animal can beat the Indian cow. Ever tried honking away one of these big, black, dumb ones away from the road only to get the worst response ever? Here is the scenario: you are driving/riding on a very, very busy road and suddenly in the middle of the road, there is this big, black, dirty cow chewing away on some piece of grass. You screech to a halt and honk loudly- irritating everyone except the cow - who doesn't give a damn if you run over her (cos you can't!). Talk about confidence.

Thats enough work for the day....am gonna laze now!

I can totally connect you to ducks, walruses, pigs, sloths and the Indian cow, in particular order. It just seems so natural :P

I know that being a responsible brother-in-law I have been recommending bird watching for future gains... but I think you kind of missed my point a bit

As far as I know you already 'are' one of em species isnt it!!..I mean if I think hard I can connect each and every of these 'amazingly hygenic' animals to u!..
ok lemme think..

u dont shave/get hair cut..neither does a duck..
u make funny noises from your noise when u laugh..so does a pig..
last time i saw you, u were just one belt-slot thinner than a walrus..
and, we've always related you and a cow with 'holy'!!..

so there goes..

maybe its the duck's blog that we should be more interested in..=>'i quack saw quack a quack duck quack wearing quack glasses quack today quack!!'..
