April 10. 12am. The house was very quiet when the four of us returned home after dinner.
The lights had been dimmed and I found all four—Rani, Mowgli, MoJo and Button all curled up on the sofa fast asleep.
April 8. “Button, it’s nearly midnight and very late.
We’ll write our story tomorrow again but the one thing I want to tell you is about is the landmark victory won by a frail, 73 year old man by the name of Anna Hazare who fasted for 97 hours to get the ruling government to get down to drafting the Lokpal Bill and submitting it in parliament for the monsoon session to fight corruption.”
April 7. “Should we continue with our story?”
“Sure, Button.”
April 4. “Button, before we start our story I want you to come and see something.
This card was sent to Dost by the helpers at PETA. Hold it. See for yourself.”
April 3. “Button, did you watch the cricket match from the start?”
“I missed the initial part of the Sri Lanka batting as I was fast asleep. But I saw most of it.”
April 1. 10am. “Button, I’m sorry I couldn’t write to you last night despite the ample time I had on my hands because, on reaching the airport, I realized that I’d left my ipad at home!”
“Why should you be sorry? Relax and take it easy. But how are you writing to me today?”
March 30. “Button, we must play Antakshari amongst ourselves sometime.
It’s great fun. May-be once I am back from Kolkata.”
March 29. “Button, I distinctly saw you talking to that crow outside the study window.
At one point, I even heard you singing! What exactly were you doing?”
