Another Frog on the Wall

Disclaimer – for this article, the author has decided to drop his usual goofy attitude and for a change write something serious, and would like to call for an open attitude from his two and a half usual fans.



It was maybe a couple of months ago, when I was sitting with a friend at his place, just sharing the latest bits of downloads (more like giga-bytes of downloads), when the current got cut. Not wanting to stay in with limited ventilation, we came outdoors and rested ourselves on his porch. And on the wall facing us was one of the strangest sights I have ever seen.

I don’t know how good your knowledge of frogs is, mine I know to be rather average, maybe even lesser so, and so when I saw a frog gripping on to a wall like a lizard I have no embarrassment to say that I was for a minute stumped. My first instinct was that I must’ve been dreaming about scarlett johansen when my bio teacher was teaching me about amphibians and reptiles. I was convinced that I had gotten the two mixed up.

It took me quite some time to reach the conclusion that what I was seeing gripping on to the flat vertical wall was indeed a frog and not a species of the lacertilian family. You don’t have only my word for it, if you are really interested in this irrelevant tale then you will also find a supporting testament albeit given with a peevish temperament from one particular Mr Albert Crankenstien (any resemblance to people living or dead is purely coincidental; the author holds no responsibility whatsoever to nicknames levied upon common nerds). The amazing scene filled us with wonder (ok not really); so much so that we even drew analogies to the flat vertical wall gripping comic book hero - spiderman. The consequent 15 minutes or so were well spent in a jocular albeit childish disposition coming up with hypothetical citations of how hilarious the day to day crime fighting activities of such an imaginary fictional character could be.

Post this we found our proverbial marbles and decided that a little bit of sobriety is what the society would benefit from. Mr A. Crankenstien decided he would do the pedestrians and traffic much good by burying himself in his room glued to the screen of his computer, and I decided to write this stupid blog. In short both of us have yet to return our dues to society. When I aired my views of writing the aforementioned blog, the whole issue of credibility became a matter which deserved a little bit of grey matter working on it. The result is the few thousand pixels that are attached with this article. The image does look like one of a frog on a floor, but don’t be fooled by that folks, it is an image of a frog on a flat vertical wall I tell you. The image was taken with Mr Crankenstien’s mobile, by his little baby sister; after enduring a lot of tantrums that ensued from the former Mr C.

So what’s the moral of the story?

Simple – Stick on. A lot of times the going gets tough, despair fails to become sparse, quite often a feeling of being out of place becomes predominant, trudging along seems to be harder then necessary; but don’t give up, like the frog on the flat vertical wall, STICK ON.


The above article quite clearly demonstrates how the author is not entirely a shallow goofy ol’ guy. The author would however like to point out that statistically his track record of goofiness outweighs his sensibility by a mile, and hence would advise others to think more then twice before changing their view of him. Regular goofism would return from next week.
