You're a loblolly pine scale (oracella). Is what you are. You even sound like a loblolly.

Lucky you! At least something makes you run...(even if it's with a blunt knife stalking away.)

Orcaella brevirostris said...

srin, yes indeed. hungry tide. tiggers, irrawaddy river dolphins and tutuls. no loblolly pines, you'll notice.

anyone who's read HT, what's the maharashtrian equivalent of a gamcha?
oh come on, there's got to be one.

There isn't a Tamil one, at any rate. We just refer to them as gamchas! But that could be because of the parents' Bengal-Bihar connections..
