#unfiltered I swear, literally one second I was happily lying in my hotel bed, watching a series (called "Shameless") ... next, from the corner of my eye 👁 I see a "creature" enter the room at floor level 😳 ! And IMMEDIATELY in a split second my fight-or-flight mode was activated and I was letting out a horrifying blood curdling warrior-attack cry and leaping up from my bed and charging at, by now, an almost puzzled monkey 🐒 🙈 Honestly he gave me such a look... as if to say " yaar ye KAISA behaviour hai"!! And I was like "यार ये तो डरा ही नहीं" !! But I was now just 2 feet away from the primate... too close to go into retreat mode. So I charged even more ferociously at the, by now, totally petrified monkey. 😅 With flailing hands and blood curdling screams that even my primal ancestors would have been proud of, I herded him out the door and pulled the balcony door shut with a shaking hand. By the way all this time my series was giving background score, as "Shameless" was still running on my IPad which I had been careful to not drop on the floor even in my panic mode!
अब एक हाथ से चटकनी कैसे बंद करूँ!?! एक हाथ में तो Ipad है!😯
Somehow I managed to gently perch the still running Ipad on a chair nearby while hanging on to the door for dear life!😁Then when I shut the चटकनी, heart pounding and breathing shakily, I looked down at him through the barrier of the glass door, and this monkey is looking at me with confused eyes as if saying कि ये क्या tareeqa है भाई? दरवाज़ा खेलो !!
And in almost human fashion he started knocking on the door!!! Bang-Bang. Bang-Bang-Bang!
...as if to say wtf!! चलो बहुत हो गया मज़ाक... अब दरवाज़ा खेलो !!!!
What you see in the video is him resigning to his fate as if to say: aaah, humans!! 🙈 And thankfully that was the last I saw of him. Till maybe another day... since I'm still shooting in Rishikesh. Next time, he may bring his "friends" along to make a more dedicated attempt at re-entering my premises !! But I'm keeping my balcony door firmly locked now!
