▂ ▃ ▅ ▆ █ A daughters ground rules █ ▆ ▅ ▃ ▂

 
Dearest ๓๏๓,

On your special day, I'd like to equip you with a few of my rules. Makes life easier you know ㋡ 

           Rule ① Daddy is the BEST.  LISTEN TO ME. And I choose my stuff. 
         Rule ② No sleeping without some phone/story time, rhymes, puzzles, painting 
                      and ofcourse relentless tries at angry bird, though I've not figured it out. 
         Rule ③ Never eat a toffee alone PERIOD
         Rule ④ I'll act needy frequently and you need to understand sis. 
         Rule ⑤ When I call out for you, and if you don't respond ever, I'll scream out your 
                       name.
         Rule ⑥ I need some love right from the min’ I wake up. Hugs and kisses work. 
         Rule ⑦ If you want me to pray, bribe me with rock candy or prasadam. 
         Rule ⑧ If I want to hang out at the popcorn counter at the movies, DO just that. 
         Rule ⑨ Who are you talking to? Like, who is it? Keep me in the loop baby. 
         Rule ⑩ I'll make up random songs and you've got to sing along. Oh rev up that 
                      engine ma’am.
        
                      "Gang gang gangster...
                       Here comes a monster...
                       Gang gang gangster...
                       I need my gems Sir” 
        
        Rule ⑪ If I glare at you, you've SINNED. I could be reached thereafter via hugs & 
                     kisses, and sweet talk works best. Start talking gurl.  
        Rule ⑫ When I say NO I mean NO. Bribes are accepted but nothing changes  :-D 
        Rule ⑬ I'll share everything with our dogs, especially if I don't like what ‘am fed. 
        Rule ⑭ A few words I hate -: Bad girl, Good night, bye, listen, stop it, NO. 
        Rule ⑮ Words I take advantage of-: Luv you, Please, Sorry 
                     (All the above with a puppy face) 
        Rule ⑯ * And if it's a birthday, I'll sing Happy Birthday aloud, only wishing myself at 
                     the end. ☮?

So, on that note...

Happy Birthday Samara!!! :D

The Madras Crocodile Bank Trust and Centre for Herpetology

 16th August 2012

I visited the Crocodile bank today. The last time I was there, I was on a school field trip. 

It is one of the largest reptile zoos in the world and one of the oldest non government environmental organizations in Asia.

It's primary aim is to promote the conservation of reptiles and amphibians on the Indian subcontinent, but their inference is multidisciplinary and extends worldwide.

The only underwater crocodile exhibit in India

Visitors get the unique chance to see the magnificent gharial at its best; effortlessly cruising around amongst a myriad of fish and freshwater turtles, in a giant naturalistic aquarium.

JAWS III

Perhaps Croc Banks most famous ‘A’ list celebrity and one of the largest saltwater crocodiles in the world.

Jaws arrived at Croc Bank shortly after it opened in 1976 and for the first few years was housed with his brothers and sisters in what was then a fairly ordinary exhibit. However, when he started to outgrow his siblings in a truly astonishing fashion, it soon became apparent that he was no ordinary crocodile, but instead a genuine giant of freakish proportions. True to form, Jaws has grown into a real Spielberg monster, and cannot even be housed with other female crocs due to his unusually savage disposition and devastating strength. Jaws now lives alone in a large, fortified enclosure and visitors can watch him being hand fed by his keepers every Sunday afternoon at 04:00 pm.

This guy was GIGANTIC with a majestic ROAR. We couldn't take our eyes off him, and so couldn't he. :)
