Mood : Sleepy.. Listening to : Tere Bina from Guru.

Thinking of a missed photo opportunity while I wait for my team to get ready to go eat :)
While I was driving to work today, somewhere near Manipal Hospital I saw a massive monkey do a tight rope walk on one of the electrical wires above…It crossed the stretch cautiously .. paused right at the centre, turned to the vehicles below and kind of had its hand up.. like a tight rope artist waving to the crowd ..…and all this while I was listening to the radio and seeing this whole site waiting at the signal.. when suddenly I thought I should click a picture.
I picked up my mobile phone and focused. The monkey was too far away.. so I started zooming in.. without realizing the zoom button is the same as the volume button… and all that was happening while I was zooming in, was that my radio volume was going up… (In case u dint figure it out already.. the radio was playing on my mobile :))
By the time I did the whole activity of turning the radio off, going back to camera mode.. the monkey had moved to the lamp post at the end of the wire and was shaking the post vigorously…. And just when I was all ready to click I heard the continuous honking… the signal had turned green and the impatient cars behind me dint give me my photo op. :(All I got was a white screen cos by the time I moved I was right in front of the sun :(

Did you give your monkey a name? So the next time you are in the vicinity, you can call out his name and maybe he might provide u a better photo op :)
