October 11. 12am. “Button, I know it’s late but I want you to come and see this photograph which appeared in the Indian Express.

I swear I’ll keep our talk brief.”

“I am sleepy.”

“Please come for a minute.”

“What is it you want to show me?”

“This must be a grizzly! What do you say? And see what a perfectly timed photograph it is. The photographer must have spent hours waiting for that split second when the fish would leap out of the water into the mouth of the anxiously waiting bear!

“That’s a lovely picture.”

Now, like I promised, please go to sleep “

“Goodnight.”
