Weekends are what I wait for , starting from every single Monday… but usually when they come, we both[we have shared our house hold jobs between us!] will be loaded with cleaning, bulk /special cooking for the coming week. But still I long for weekends, when I can sleep, without worrying about alarm clock running towards 9am. [Ironically I sleep less on weekend mornings!].
Yesterday while my hubby was busy vacuuming [cos of my everyday-sore-back!] I was just passing the study room, and glanced thru the glass window, when I stood paralysed at the sight!….
My first reaction was “oh! Why did they choose Ireland to land? And especially our back yard?†For a split second all the films that I have seen about alien invasion from ET to “Koi mil gayaâ€, passed through my mind. Whom should I contact? What should I do… in fact within 5 secs I have thot about my parents in India and wished I would have remained there in India. I stood there rooted, till those enormous things slowly floated to my window . They were sooo huge that one even blocked my entire vision. Soon I saw a number of them, floating towards me. I counted. There were 12 of them…. Of different colors. I squinted myself to see, if there were any living beings inside. And when one flied over my head, I saw two living beings, inside, and I screamed for my hubby….
This is what I saw…..
