LOL brothers in law can be such fun, you will also get your chance to show him a praying lion or a praying dog… or I can send you some of my Sher Khan’s pictures
I like the not-so-secret clue

Me: Yeah, this one surely is!! Hahaha. You bet I am going to think up something to return the favor!

[...] Hmmm… but can I really blame the poor someone or someones?? I have been naive myself and believed there existed praying goats. So how can I point fingers at others for being gullible?? I do sympathize with this someone or [...]

Hi, Shail.

A delightful read! And a sparkling personality comes through your prose. About being gullible: I think the world needs much more naivete and much less being constantly on the guard…less cynicism.

It sounds like your extended family radiates much love and meaningfulness to you. That’s wonderful.

Oh…and do you know by chance where I can get one of those French-beards? : )

Me: Tim, delighted to see you on my page. How I wish I could write the way you have the fairy tale. It is there inside me, but just won’t come out. I wish I could find the right words to express those thoughts. Sigh, maybe some day….
I am with you on the ‘less cynicism’ front. Yeah we are a bunch of jokers when we meet and have lots of fun I suppose since you now have changed your views regarding that french beard you don’t want me to tell you where to find them??

after all those “rolling on chair/bed laughing”, now the Vaalkkashnam aka tailpiece #1:
i liked the “meeeyyy…mey…” but i think the most appropriate would be “brayyy….bray…” – that of donkey’s???? ooops…. that was just a … a … metaphor…similie….or rhyme…to “mey” i didnt intend the “donkey” part in it…;-)

tailpiece #2: still u didnt reveal, whether the pic was just “morphed” or original? did niece’s camera add 10 kilos? if it did, how may cameras were focusing u, at that time? hi..hi..hi… 3-4 cameras?????
“braay…bray”..oops…i meant “meyyy…mey”
