Earlier this morning, I had a dream that was on a fairytale-meets-star wars theme with princesses, prophecies, sabers and spaceships. As I sat down to prepare lunch, I was greated with this sight.
A dried top of bottle gourd had this design.
Had I been a supestitious person, I would have run out of my house declaring that Lord Ganesha (with elephant face) has visited my house in his triple face avatar. But thanks to the dream, I was on a Sci-Fi cum Fairytale mode. Hence, I decided it was a crop circle inside my house. You may say, “Hey, a crop circle is a circular pattern in crops.” I say:
- Bottle gourd is a crop.
- It’s top is circular.
- This one a has pattern, a pretty one too. Many progressive Indian women, henceforth, shall use it in their rangoli designs.
I wonder which TV channel to contact–
- Aaj Tak that will turn it into Doomsday prophecy
- NDTV that will call it the next attack of a deadly microbe
- National Geographic that will call it a visitation from aliens and add it to their existing series of crop circles…
Any suggestions?
Hey! Small aliens that fit inside my fridge! Now that’s a plot for story. What do you say?
