Lizard "Birth" !!

Just returned from a vacation from Home Sweet Home and not at all in a mood to sit and come up with anything as my mind needs to restart and adjust to the usual routine. But I'll tell you what !! Let me narrate you a story of an amazing lizard birth which I happened to find somewhere on the internet, it will make you laugh, think and amaze you with wonders nature can show us at times!!

* Narrated By A Concerned, Loving Dad *
(If you have raised kids (or been one), and gone through the pet syndrome, including toilet-flush burials for dead goldfish, the story below will have you laughing out LOUD!)

Overview: I had to take my son's lizard to the vet.

Here's what happened:

Just after dinner one night, my son came up telling me there was 'something wrong' with one of the two lizards he holds prisoner in his room.

'He's just lying there looking sick,' he told me. 'I'm serious, Dad. Can you help?'

I put my best lizard-healer expression on my face and followed him into his bedroom. One of the little lizards was indeed lying on his back, looking stressed. I immediately knew what to do.

'Honey,' I called,'come look at the lizard!'

'Oh, my gosh!' my wife exclaimed.. 'She's having babies.'

'What?' my son demanded. 'But their names are Bert and Ernie, Mom !'

I was equally outraged.

'Hey, how can that be? I thought we said we didn't want them to reproduce,' I said accusingly to my wife.

'Well, what do you want me to do, post a sign in their cage?' she inquired (I think she actually said this sarcastically!)

'No, but you were supposed to get two boys!' I reminded her, (in my most loving, calm, sweet voice, while gritting my teeth).

'Yeah, Bert and Ernie!' my son agreed.

'Well, it's a little hard to tell on some guys, you know,' she informed me (Again with the sarcasm!).

By now the rest of the family had gathered to see what was going on. I shrugged, deciding to make the best of it.

'Kids, this is going to be a wondrous experience,' I announced. 'We're about to witness the miracle of birth..'

'Oh, gross!' they shrieked

'Well, isn't THAT just great? What are we going to do with a litter of tiny little lizard babies?' my wife wanted to know.

We peered at the patient. After much struggling, what looked like a tiny foot would appear briefly, vanishing a scant second later.

'We don't appear to be making much progress,' I noted.

'It's breech,' my wife whispered, horrified.

'Do something, Dad!' my son urged.

'Okay, okay.' Squeamishly, I reached in and grabbed the foot when it next appeared, giving it a gentle tug. It disappeared. I tried several more times with the same results.

'Should I call 911?' my eldest daughter wanted to know. 'Maybe they could talk us through the tra uma.' (You see a pattern here with the females in my house?)

'Let's get Ernie to the vet,' I said grimly. We drove to the vet with my son holding the cage in his lap.

'Breathe, Ernie, breathe,' he urged. 'I don't think lizards do Lamaze,' his mother noted to him.. (Women can be so cruel to their own young. I mean what she does to me is one thing, but this boy is of her womb, for God's sake!).

The vet took Ernie back to the examining room and peered at the little animal through a magnifying glass.

'What do you think, Doc, a C-section?' I suggested scientifically.

'Oh, very interesting,' he murmured. 'Mr. and Mrs. Cameron, may I speak to you privately for a moment?'

I gulped, nodding for my son to step outside.

'Is Ernie going to be okay?' my wife asked.

'Oh, perfectly,' the vet assured us. 'This lizard is not in labor.. In fact, that isn't EVER going to happen...Ernie is a boy. You see, Ernie is a young male. And occasionally, as they come into maturity, like most male species, they um . . um . . . masturbate. Just the way he did, lying on his back.' He blushed, glancing at my wife..

We were silent, absorbing this.

'So, Ernie's just . just . .. . excited?' my wife offered.

'Exactly! ! the vet replied , relieved that we understood.

More silence. Then my vicious, cruel wife started to giggle. And giggle. And then even laugh loudly..

'What's so funny?' I demanded, knowing, but not believing that the woman I married would commit the upcoming affront to my flawless manliness....

Tears were now running down her face. 'It's just .that . . I'm picturing you pulling on its ..... . . its. . . teeny little . . ' She gasped for more air to bellow in laughter once more.

'That's enough,' I warned. We thanked the vet and hurriedly bundled the lizard and our son back into the car.... He was glad everything was going to be okay.

'I know Ernie's really thankful for what you did, Dad,' he told me.

'Oh, you have NO idea,' my wife agreed, collapsing with laughter.

Two lizards: $140.

One cage: $50.

Trip to the vet: $30.

Memory of your husband pulling on a lizard's winkie: Priceless!

Moral of the story: Pay attention in biology class; lizards lay eggs!!

Get A Life !!!

..And I stood before a huge mall, with pretty decent clothes and lots of other stuffs and guess wat ?!!.. All were just free of cost. Bought a tuxedo for myself as I was going to attend a dance club in the evening, a place where I’ve also applied for a job as a host which would pay me 75$L per hour.

I flew around for a while, visited the Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal and the Statue of Liberty.. all in few minutes and after all those travelling, I went to have a sip of coffee at the famous Coffee Shop from the TV show F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Thats me in the pic above at the coffee shop :) !!

It was time to put on my tux, adjust my hair, bring my body in perfect shape and sport a fair complexion for the evening. I entered the “Sweethearts Jazz Dance Club” and my first I did was find my friends.. the wonderful General manager Katerina, hostess Chrysalis, and the loveliest couple – BillyBob and Jeanni and of course the brain behind the Sweethearts Dance Club – Dilbert and many others, some of whom are one of my closest friends.

..Ok.!! Hold… Free shopping o_O !!?.. Visiting famous monuments in few minutes !!?.. Central Perk !! and bring your body in perfect shape just minutes before attending a party ?!! You cant even dance man and U never told me applied for a job paying you in $ !! Wake up man, stop dreaming.. Those will be the very thoughts running through your mind. Oops.. sorry I just forgot to mention, u all just know about my first life… I was describing my Second Life!!

Second Life?? What the…??

Yes, Second Life is a 3D Virtual World, where we can create, edit and modify our avatars, give it a name.. and you are ready to enter a whole new world where you can meet people from all over the world, make friends, party, dance, have a job and earn in Linden $.. the SL currency, which can also be encashed into real money ;).

Second Life gives a chance to the people to outlive their dreams for whom the RL(Real Life) sucks. People become architects, fashion designers, texture designers, etc and sell their products inside Second Life for Linden $. You also can earn being a DJ, event host, shop attendant, etc. It also serves as a great platform to make friends with people across the world and various famous places and monuments can be visited, apart from Second Life’s own mystical and sensuous creations. Companies across world even conduct meetings in SL and some individuals take up classroom sessions to share their knowledge. Some people take SL so seriously, they completely forget their RL and start a life in SL by owning a house, falling in love and even getting married with a proper marriage ceremony complete with cake, bridesmaid and best man, flower girl and the first dance.

Thats me above in traditional Indian wear :)

SL is basically a world of opportunities, knowledge mixed with fun. It worth a try once a while, a break from the real hectic world, the tensions and tiredness. Tiredness ??!! Yes.. tiredness.. coz the one thing that separates RL and SL is that in SL you have the ability to fly and teleport to different places !!

Website : www.secondlife.com

Advantages : Its fun, gives a good break from the boring RL, cool places, can earn/shop all you want!!

Disadvantages : Need good computer/internet speed with no download limit. Can tend to be boring if u land up at boring places or lagging places.

Hello World !!

Like "Ma" is the first word of a child and "A" is the first alpabhet learnt... "Hello World" are the 2 words which begin the moulding of an individual into software developer. These words are the first words of a programmer and with these words I will begin and inaugurate my first blog.
A small introduction, would suffice for today !!

I'm around medium heighted, medium weighted, medium sized human.. born with a mature mind who's sanity is inversely proportional to my age.Normally calm, shy and quiet when put in a completely new environment, but that is just the silence before a storm. Unstoppable once I take over the reigns.

Basic Necessities in Life : Food, Computers and Internet. Need no shelter or clothing.
Pure Non-Vegetarian, and a complete foodie and can do ANYTHING for good food.
Spend most of my day/time/energy on computers.

Thats pretty much about me !! Thanks for visiting my blogs..
