The Rainbow Serpent

The Rainbow Serpent

At the ending of the storm
I sprang forth
Brilliantly flashing in seven colors
I circled in the sky
I touched the earth lightly
Where I touched
Shrubs, trees, and plants
Emerged from the soil.
Several small mice crawled
Out of the glowing earth
And vanished among the tree roots.
In a burst of red light
A majestic jaguar materialized
From the lifegiving earth
I flew into the sky
And watched over my domain
Then I saw the havoc wreaked
By loggers in the rainforest
Before my eyes several small frogs
were crushed, a bear hunted
Here I departed.

India Trip 2

This trip has gotten more fun. I noticed a new strain of behavior in both Subhashinicus aunticus and Sairamacus unclecus. They like to get me a video game system every time I come to India. Last time, it was a Geepas VCR with a CD with 1000 primitive arcade games. This time, it was a PS2 with the following CDs. But she didn't even get me a memory card.

Donald Duck: Phantomias: Platyrhynchos Kineticus(It's certainly like auntie to get me such a weird game, and I know what platyrhynchos means, but I have no idea what Kineticus means.).

Madagascar: The first time I played it, I reached the Penguin Mutiny level,, which is probably half the game. Then Gramps got grumpy and wanted to watch cricket matches on TV. So we lost all that stuff. Gramps always sleeps when the TV isn't on. Then when we turn the PlayStation on, he snaps at us to put on the cricket match on.

Gran Turismo 4: This is the best game we have. It's a racing game.

INDIA TRIP 1

August 9th, 2008

Writing from Rohan and Dinesh's house.
Lots of birds- crows, ravens, mynas, parrots, broadthroated sparrow, hummingbirds, sunbirds, 3 or 4 unidentified.

A hummingbird perched on uncle's motorbike and attacked its reflection in the mirror.

I was mobbed by Asian tiger mosquitoes in the garden. Must be an old bottle or something full of water.

Dangers
1. GBAs or DS running out of charge
2. Rohan's friends breaking stuff(most likely)
3. Mosquitoes
