He munched on his chocolate cookie..and wriggled his tiny toes.
He quite liked the taste of this new box of cookies..he decided.He was living a king’s life..and was very proud of it.
but what made him smug about himself was that he was smart and knew stuff like what a computer was…and that things from
america always tasted better!!!!
It was a life of luxury..and indulging.Life had been easy on him…he looked at his
reflection on the spoon and decided that he looked really neat!!!a little trimming of his whiskers and he would have go a
little slow on these american cookies…he decidedly looked plump!he
inadvertently sighed… an all too easy life…no chasing..no anxiety….and american cookies did that to a rat!
he should join that new gym they have started for lucky lazy rats like him!!!
He liked his room mate..he was more like the master..as this was his house…but that chap was hardly ever at home…so..it was more like his own home.He worried about his room mate..that chap seemed unhappy..he couldnt grasp how anybody could be unhappy..after having a refrigerator full of chocolate cookies to eat!!!
he would notice him…coming in after the whole world had slept…he always had assumed..that humans like sleeping once its dark..but somehow his roomie never seemed to sleep….he would come home looking like someone who was run over by a speeding
truck…then he would…eat some pizza..and then sit in front of a box he called”computer”…and go tap..tap on it!being a mouse he couldnt understand..why anybody would do that…but humans were always weird…
His roomie looked dirty to even his…a rat’s eyes.His eyes looked red and swollen..and there was the frown on his face had become a constant fixation…he left all his food half-eaten…humans!!!
Though he pitied his roomie…he knew if his roomie were to be like their neighbors..then he would be in trouble…it was only the lucky few among rats ,who made their abode in an unmarried software engineer’s house!clothes strewn all over..and food..left uncovered..it was every rat’s dream come true!!
Most rats never get to eat chocolates..or pizzas..or drink spilt coca-cola!!
One cant teach someone to live..particularly to a human!they were born to slog..so that rats in their respective houses…can munch on chocolate cookies..thought he…and he reached for another cookie!!!
Through the eyes of a rat..

Hey this was really cool. Nice imagination
. Maybe you could write a novel centered around a rat and his roomie
.. Maybe you could make it a mouse though… I feel mice are more cuter. I’ve had the opportunity of running after a couple of them when they were in my room and I had to get them out. So everytime I cornered it, it would look up with these meek, shifting, sad eyes which would say – please don’t kill me…
.. I felt so sorry for it, but I still had to get it out you know. Anyway, I feel mice are cuter than rats. That’s all
… By the way, the mouse reminded me of Jerry saying his prayers
..
thanks…i am blushing
I prefer a mouse too..but rat is just easier to type
Hmmm.. compromising in fear of RSI eh
compromising..due to sheer lazziness…:)
Hey… I think its your appartment… am i right
Appa!no what made u think that?I am clean enough…I was just wondering that animals lead such happy,simple lives..they must pity the way we complicate our lives…so wrote this!!
Hey..that is just brilliant!!
Thank u once again!!!
now the last post makes sense…
and then sit in front of a box he called”computer”…and go tap..tap on it!being a mouse he couldnt understand..
reminds me of me…
