The scared squirrel.

It started this morning when I was doing my Sun salutations(I could have said Surya Namaskar but I guessed I'l Angrezify it.Enough of PJ then,I'l proceed with the tale.) that I heard the Squirrel chirping(am not sure if they chirp but you get the idea..).
I thought "Here we go again!!!Y do these guys(read squirrels)come down so often into the house and get lost?". I guess a little background is needed here...We have a room upstairs in our home(my uncle's penthouse if you should know)which is basically made for my cousins(with their inputs as to how it should be..Now that I have moved in with them since I started working i guess you could call it OUR room).We haven't moved there for the sole reason that its got Mangalore tiles for roofing & when the wind blows it howls like the room is haunted(U may laugh but I got goosebumps the first time I heard it, Freaky like a bhootbangla..).Now up there in those tile layering of the roof stays a family of squirrel..They often wander down into the room come down the stairs and get lost in the house..It was another one of those days..
I started wondering if I should post something bout those cute chipmunks who raise a hell when they get down into the house.The noise stopped and I assumed the noise maker had found a way outta the house.
I forgot all bout it, finished my yoga and went into my room, drew the curtains and turned around when suddenly something with claws fell on my neck!!I didn't know what it was and gave a cry of surprise(I was scared actually,not knowing if it was a rat or something else...I actually gave a lil jump too) and brushed it off my neck...
And there was the culprit!!!The squirrel which was lost and scared....So there I was scared outta my wits by the scared squirrel..If it could have spoken to me in my tongue I swear it wud have said "Who's the scared one now,girl??" (probably done a chicken dance too.Now I am exaggerating but again you get the idea.).
So much for me thinking the squirrel was scared...
