Somewhere in January of 1995 : Going to a temple atop a hill in Shimla. It was a school trip. I was the youngest. As it was a school trip and we were actually not that old, our pockets and bags were actually filled with lot of stuff to eat. I particularly remember Poppins !! The way was infested with monkeys all over. I don't remember much, but I do remember this.
One of the monkeys suddenly leaped from nowhere on to the girl behind me. I was pretty normal. But what I saw was something I never expected. The monkey, checked the pockets of the girl,looking for food and also opened the camera pouch and was about to check what was inside, but a dog came and the monkey was on top of a tree in no time. We were saved by the dog.
Conclusion : Monkeys are smart, and they learn a lot by visuals !!
Somewhere in the range of 2002-2004 : Dr. Kalra's Clinic, I was there for a checkup. I don't remember whether I was there for myself or just accompanying on of my friends. But what I saw was.
I young kid, not more than 2 years old, had a scratch almost 0.5 centimeter deep on his cheek. Not a good view. The mother of the child said it was monkey !!!
Conclusion : Monkeys are dangerous.
Some few months back : Another temple infested with monkeys, monkeys got hold of the clothing, and waited until we gave them something to eat.
Conclusion : I say smart, I say clever, I say Indian !!!
Yesterday : I was on a trip to a very dry but watery place. Confused ?? But trust me, it could not be described better than these two words used together. At some place a thought came into my mind. Suppose people ahead went out of there minds, something happened, and now all the monkeys are furious. I pushed the thought out of my mind. And I carried on.
Half an hour later, I saw as if somebody decided to play the thought which were running in my mind. And now the monkeys were furious. When we were climbing up, the monkey was directly above my head hanging on a branch. A couple on the left.
And then ...
A direct eye to eye contact with the monkey. The monkey gives a war cry, I get defensive, and give my own war cry. I continue walking and realise the monkeys on the left were directly now behind me. Cautiously I move side ways. The first monkey plans to attack and approaches. I thwart his attack, by a dummy bag throw motion. The monkeys goes far back. And this gives me enough time to get out of the danger zone. And so I did get out of the danger zone.
And trust me, until I reached to the place from where I started, I was on the look out for monkeys.
Conclusions :
1. Don't trouble monkeys. They only need food. You throw stones at them, they get furious.
2. Attack is the best policy of defense.
3. Don't think of anything bad, lest someone up there decided to have little fun with you.
There are few who know I afraid of monkeys, and those who know, they know it big time !!!

well ...what if u dont know why a monkey is running after you at the top of his speed, even though u didnt bother him the least,jumps at you scatching your hands and after all the jumping and scratching you come to your senses and realise you are holding a green fleshy banana in your hands... whose mistake :)
Haha.. well true.. but thats the norm of the jungle...you can't take care of it.. you don't deserve it ..!!
Well, no one's mistake.. but the phenomenon called LIFE !!!
