I’ll be going to Japan and Hong Kong soon, so there’s certainly more to come.</p> <p><br/>As for work, I try not to be too specific about it. I work for an American company that offers various services to the Hollywood film industry. I specify Hollywood only because, well, I’m in India and not working for Bollywood.

He was running here and there at lightning fast speed, but I managed to get a few quality shots. Had these photos ever any worth, they are certainly meaningless now.</p> <p>Afterward, I decided it would be best if I freed him on my balcony. I grabbed a small container from my cupboard, and chased him around a bit. Up and down the wall, across the bookshelf, behind some books.</p> <p>He scampered away from the books as quickly as his little lizard legs would take him, ascending a barren white wall offering no protection from my tupperware prison. I ever so gently tried to trap him beneath the container. Before I knew it, he was severed in half, his little lizard head still consciously looking around, probably wondering in his little lizard brain why the other half of his little lizard body was no longer connected, was no longer moving.</p> <p>I swear, I swear, I swear I had only the best intentions for my little lizard guy.</p> <p>I feel I need to repent for this horrible accident, but how?</p>http://www.currygurry.com/post/515959391http://www.currygurry.com/post/515959391Mon, 12 Apr 2010 21:35:19 +0530little lizard guyshamesadnessdeath<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0rq477XNq1qa13deo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Another sign encouraging the annihilation of the white man, this time by pushing them in the lion’s cage.</p> <p>Seriously.
