One morning, just after waking up but still in bed, I heard a thump in front of my bedroom window and when i opened it I saw...a monkey! Or actually, a bunch of monkeys sitting on the fence below eating whatever they managed to scavenge from our garbage bin, and a few of their young swinging from what seams to be the cable of the cabletv of our downstairs neighbours.
They actually behave like lttle kids playing, but my camara apparantly scared them because they started screaching when they saw me...and mommy (a big ugly mama with a very red ass) came checking what scared her kid! Mommy didn't like me for she bared her teath, and for a moment there I was scared whe would smash the window...she didn't, but had I given her a hammer she might have. The kid in the meantime, needless to say, continued swinging on the tv cable. No wonder our internet is out all the time.
The monkeys visit our roof almost every other day. I have been warned not to provoke the males as they will not be scared of me (being a female...that seems to be a particular Indian thing anyway). To be honest, looking at their red asses, red balls and scruffy furs, I feel no need whatsoever to provoke them or even notice them. Better to ignore them.
I have also been told that scaring them away will only result in broken pots, shit on the terrace and turned over garbage bins, neither of which I fancy. So the monkeys do their thing and I do mine and als long as they don't slam through my bedroomwindow that is that!
