And Oscii Dies!!!

Its strange how a fish that was just an inch long became a close entity of the family. Oscii is so called cos he belongs to the family of fishes called Oscar. He was purchased with a partner for Rs.70 but the partner died almost immediately. Whereas Oscar lived on, for two long years, after his partner's death. He was almost another family member, properly fed, petted, loved and cared for. He grew to become almost 4-5 inches long and we were forced to buy a new tank for him. Attachment with him thats what he created. But this morning though, we woke up to the news from our father "Oscar is no more". And the bonds of attachment withered away. It strange how quickly we can forget our loved ones, the ones for whom we fight, we struggle, we earn are so quickly forgotten once they go in for that long sleep called death that I really wonder if something called love really exists. Anyways May Oscii's soul rest in peace.

cheers,
