It was in th middle of the day at Elephanta Caves in Mumbai.
It was hot. I was really really thirsty and I bought a cold bottle of mango juice.
To make it clear to everyone how serious this situation is I first have to explain
that it's not everyday I buy mango juice just like that. It's way more expensive than water and
usually I would have a bottle of "homemade" (Simi has these pills she uses to clean tapwater with )water instead. But now I was out of water. I was enjoying time in Mumbai and I allowed myself this treat.
This badass-monkey came up to me and tried to take my dear mango juice-bottle from me.
Since first of all, think stealing is wrong and for the second I don't like to be messed around with it developed into a fight about the bottle.
I don't really know what happend, but I lost the fight.
And the monkey happily sat down on a stone an unscrewed the cap and drank the rest of my
juicy cold mango juice.I really think he was smiling. Smiling out of happiness only such a victory like that can bring.
I was pissed about loosing against a monkey in a fight, and about having no juice left on
this very sunny day.
So, just wanted to tell you guys. In India: guard your mango juice.
