Lag ja gaale !

A favorite that came to me via Bhaskar! A remake that caught my attention. Sometimes another perspective adds dimension......Or does it ?

Zoo Tales

After Lion King, it's coincidental that these zoo pictures tumbled out. Haven't been to the zoo for decades, but it was a regular outing as Ma loved all creatures big and small. The growing up years saw us at the zoo with the date of the day, as I preferred that to the usual places those days. There was this friend whose sun glass was snatched by the chimp, and when another friend's boyfriend valiantly tried to retrieve it, got a nice tight slap in full view of the lady audience present. There was this cockatoo who said Happpooo hello darling everytime he saw Bhaskar with me and refused to oblige when I went with someone else 😉! The scariest tale was of course when Bhaskar got pushed into the Rhino's moat, because his eyes were straying and I needed his undivided attention! The Rhino was too shocked to react and BG passed the fitness test. And probably he thanked his lucky stars that lions were caged!

Lion King

      1994- The first movie for Chibu at Minerva ! The hall is extinct , but I still remember the excitement. And the sniff from the next chair as Mufasa died! 2019- The circle of life and this time Bhaskar was very much the part of the sunday outing and not outside the movie hall incase an "evacuation" is required. And next year I shall hopefully be back to Africa to see the coronation of the king! Simbaaa.....you sure learnt to roar !!!!!
