Talking Chameleons

Forever, I had been amazed to watch the traits of Chameleons, the reptile species known for changing colors to adapt to the environment, in effect fit well to survive. Terrific embedding of chemistry in Biology by the great Bio-chemist, the almighty, it has been. Every time I came across documentaries of these species on the Animal Planet, The National Geographic or Discovery Channel, I had glued my eyes to the television screen.How much I wished to see at least one, changing colors from a closer distance? I guess, I happened to make this wish when a shooting star went past by, coincidentally. Wish gets granted, to put me in a place where I dwell most of the time, away from home.Now, I get to see, not the national-geographic kind, but, more mind-boggling species. Not only do they change colors to adapt to the situations, but they also talk! If not by talking, how the blame could be dumped on someone else’s head to save their face. I only wished to see one chameleon, but I guess it was a denewala-jab-bhi-dega-dega-chappar-phadke-season that I get to see so many everyday. From my side, I have to learn from this that I should not make a wish and even if I do, not when a shooting star falls. I don’t know why National-Geographic and the likes have not thrown light on these phenomenal species. Ok, let me get back to business before the chameleons notice and hold a meeting to... you know why!!
