Yesterday , I saw a bunch of fruit flies . No , they weren't sitting on rotting fruits . They were crowded around my bathroom drain .
That taught me my lesson number one , Be adventurous . Think out of the box . Food may not always be served on the dining table .
I sprayed a fluid called harpic , which recently , is being sold in red plastic bottles , smells great , is clear , transparent . It avows to "cleanse bathroom of all germs ". To rub it in , I used the toilet brush . Scrub , scrub , shine , glisten rather . The tiles acquired a holy white hue. The flies disappeared .
Lesson number two , stay away from aggressive predators. Vexations to the spirit , or body , or mind , or all three.
By evening , the flies were back . In the unscrubbed corner .
Lesson number three, do not shy away from danger . There might be food ( read , opportunities ) in the next corner , round the bend .
I scrubbed the entire floor , the nooks , crannies , crevasses , everywhere , humanely and arthritically possible .
They returned back , next morning . Full blast , entire tribe , possibly even the neighboring ones .
Lesson number four . Persistence . Dont give up .
Lesson number five . Do not be picky . Keep your expectations low .
