My Experience of Night Safari

It was lovely Friday with drizzling. But unlike any other tech savvy I was not very excited with the thought of "TGIF". I guess most of IT people use this word with their first step in the office on Friday. For those who are still unaware of TGIF, let me explain it. TGIF is "Thanks God it's Friday". Coming back to the point, I was very restless. It was not because of my workload. It was due to a question which always nags me on Friday, " What will I do with 2 holidays??". When I was in confused state of mind (about what to do?) I got an offer from one of my colleagues to join him for night Safari. I thought it would be a nice experience.

We reached the decided place where my colleagues' family was already waiting for us. We joined them and got the ticket from ticket counter and headed towards the animal show. I looked around the place where show was supposed to be performed. My sight got stuck at a very lovely face standing in the middle of stair cased performance place. She was the host of the show. She showed number of animal performances.. Eagle was flying on the whistle. Wild cats were showing high jump. A small animal was putting litter in litter boxes and many more. Everybody was very excited watching those performances. But some other thing grabbed my attention. Yes, it was that lovely girl who was speaking in almost 7-8 languages. After watching the performance (animal’s) we headed to catch a tram to roam around the safari. Tram was moving so slow that you can get down and get on while it's in motion.

We saw so many animals. Few of them were from India, South Africa and many other countries. I was happy watching those animals so closely. It was not the first time I was on a trip to zoo. But thought of watching animals very closely and that to in night was exciting me. Our tour guide was telling us characteristics of animals when we crossed them. Seeing Indian buffalo out there surprised me. This animal was given very less importance in India. Here in Singapore it's enjoying all VIP treatment (of course, in terms of animal). The saying was true,"For everybody there is a place where one gets due importance". Moving further we confronted with the king of jungle (for now king of safari). After that our tour came to an end.

When we were coming out of the safari my sight got stuck at a guy looking like a Tribal. I moved further and stood by him to take a snap with him without even waiting for his consent. I was fond of giving poses for snaps. We took few snaps and moved towards the out gate..

We hired a cab and started back to my lovely house with sweet memories. These sweet memories were not of that girl but of animal performance.
