Years in the past, once I lived in Delhi, a madari — a monkey handler — and his two performing monkeys used to return to my neighborhood on a bicycle. I liked to see them however was unwilling to be a patron. It’s unlawful to make use of monkeys for tips in India, although the observe stays standard and authorities are inclined to look the opposite method.

Often, the grandparents in my neighborhood known as out to the madari. They haggled with him over a number of hundred rupees, after which for a couple of minutes, the madari made his pets salute, somersault, hug or pull one another’s tails. The children spilled with laughs. The elders appeared happy too.

Usually, although, their act had no takers. The madari nonetheless got here by, asserting his arrival by shaking a pellet drum. On one such lean day, he observed me trying on from my third-floor balcony. I shook my head. He and the monkeys moved on.

They appeared acquainted however I could not be certain if it was the trio I knew from three years in the past. I solely noticed them fleetingly from my cab. They usually all turned their backs on me.

I suppose I deserved that.
