A girlie gang goes to the cafeteria, more to gossip and of course, eat some times in between for all the energy needed for the former act. But, for quite some days, we have not been gossiping to the fullest. Guess why? Mosquitoes, folks , mosquitoes. They just chase us out of the place. I almost realized bosses delegated the job of spying to mosquitoes. Spying gets well executed to achieve the target of being in our bosses’ good books, I suppose.
Today too, after having gotten bitten by a mosquito or two, we cut short our gossip abruptly, more like all the Saans-Bahu serials where the episode gets wound up when something really substantial is just about to happen. On the way down the flight of stairs, we were analyzing the root- cause for the prevalence of mosquitoes. My friend reasoned out that due excess heat during summer, mosquitoes just rock. But, my mom used to say that when it rains a lot, the days to follow would treat our blood to the mosquitoes sumptuously. I am sure, I can definitely find one who says winters are favourable for mosquitoes. From these contradicting root-causes, what I can only understand is mosquitoes really stand the tests of time!
Oops! What was that prick on my hand now? Damn it! I was only typing, not gossiping! These specimens simply overwork! I hate mosquitoes.

Girls,giggles and gossip all go hand in hand. I don't think the mosquitoes were there to disturb you, may be they just wanted to get involved in the gossip and when you din't bother to entertain them, they must have decided to teach you a lesson or two. After all its the females in the mosquito family that go around humming, biting and sucking blood! ;)
Enigma,
Hmm.. you seem to be a mosquito-expert. Your expertise has indeed come in handy. Now I understnad that the café in-charge has a soft corner for the girly mosquitoes that he doesn’t use mosquito repellents.... hehehehe
It was a futile attempt by a member of the much-despised insect species to find out the intricacies of the female thought process!!
@Sujeet,
Well said ! :)
Needless to say, the attempts to contemplate the female thought process can only be futile. Yeah, not any different for the much-despised insect species…..hehehehe
Got this snippet yesterday, one that can go into FYI category;
The article titled “The not-so-great outdoors “ figuring in the Magazine supplement of “The Hindu” dated 16th April ,2006, written by Norman Brown says that “Mosquitoes are attracted to estrogen, so they favour women over men and children”
It was quite an information for me!
:)
Phew I heard only female mosquitoes bite. Its strange female mosquitoes getting attracted to oestrogen. ;)
@Catch22
