With a deep sigh, mustering some courage alike
I opened my ajar cupboard with an ambition to clean it well but the mound of clothes with their long arms ensnared me in their lap and down it toppled on my head....
Apparels -
Phanek, phee, indo western, mekhla chador, skirts, hats, socks,out it fell
as if that was not enough out came the bangles, rings, string of pearls sliding on my head with boxes of marble and my dolls..... along with mini teddy bears, hairbands and woolly rubber bands with polychromatic bric a brac and myriads of bracelet, stands of varied size....
All toppling & getting topsy turvy ...
A mess before but now messier than ever .... I couldn't believe this accumulated mound belonged to me 😁 but then one thing was unusual .... A mound inside a mound of clothes was still in the corner
Doubtful and scared I tugged at it .... Terrified but then something squealed ..... And the mound flung itself into the air,
I stepped back and then realisation dawned on me
It's Jong inside my cupboard snooping in for things - creating a mound inside a mound, And I chased her out ..... We ran around the house like Tom and Jerry going topsy turvy ....
Exhausted I returned to my mound of clothes and toys and spared some two hours for my special mounds to get neat and tidy!
