Queer but true!

• This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 32; the thirty-second edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. The theme for the month is 'An Untold Story'

Here is an untold story of the time when the universe was recently created and so were all the planets, the stars, the galaxies, and the creatures. God had adorned the Earth with Mother Nature which further aided the origin of a variety of creatures, from the pettiest to the enormous. Human was one of the creation & so was the tiny mosquito. Since everyone was new on earth, none was familiar to the other.

It so happened one sunny day that a man, who was among the first ones on the earth, retired to his cave for a quick day’s nap. While he was resting, there came a mosquito in his cave. Now he came in search of food, which he gets by sucking the blood of us humans; but that day something else happened. That day the mosquito by complete chance happened to notice something which he had never ever seen. He saw that a beam of light was falling on the man’s face and there he found a thing very attractive. Its maze like structure and tender surface with a tiny red mole just like a beauty spot, was irresistible to him. He was so awestruck by it that he started hovering around it, admiring it from every possible angle.

While doing so, his buzzing made the object of his affection vexed and she was awakened. When she saw the petty creature wandering like a coxcomb, staring at her incessantly and creating a noise, she said in an irksome tone, ”what’s with you boy? Can’t you see that i am asleep that you are creating such miserable sounds?”

“Who are you, O heavenly creature?” said the lovelorn mosquito, completely unaffected by the former’s tone.

“I am called the ear” she replied with the utmost vanity and said to him, “but who are you?”

“They call me mosquito” he said in extreme modesty.

“Well, whoever you are I don’t care! What I know is that you are annoying me by not letting me sleep. So you better leave” said she with the highest conceit.

“Oh, I sincerely apologize for that but I am helpless, you see. Since the time I've seen you, I can’t take my eyes off you. My heart started singing and I couldn't stop the words of praise from coming out of my mouth!” said the lover.

"How dare you … you insignificant fellow! Just go away from here at this very instant else I’ll order my fellow hand and he’ll drive you away, you lousy thing! "said the ear; the anger mounting her now.

The mosquito was hurt a bit but his feelings never budged. Thinking that his love will melt her beloved’s harsh feelings, he stood there smiling. The ear, after seeing this got all the more fiery and immediately ordered the hand to wave off the mosquito. The hand followed what she said and then came the first blow. Fortunately the mosquito escaped this one and was still smiling and saying “I love you, my ear and I will always do so no matter what you do.”

He again took a chance and went near the ear to see her, and the hand seeing this didn't miss the opportunity and there he gave the second hit. But the mosquito got second time lucky and again said,”I know your anger is only momentary and you’ll definitely fall for me, and then I’ll be waiting for you with my arms open and my heart beating only for you”

While saying this last line, the mosquito didn't realize and he came near the ear, and this time the hand didn't miss the target. The poor mosquito received a hard blow and fell badly on the Earth. The ear smiled victoriously on her lover’s defeat. The mosquito, in his last few breaths, took the vow that she’ll not be retrieved from his love so easily. In fact, he’ll keep coming back till the time the ear confesses her love for the mosquito; and till then he’ll keep humming to her his infinite love for her!

Though the mosquito died then, his love for the ear still continues.

Still in the midsummer nights, we find a mosquito humming his love song for the ear and still there is a hand waving him off.

But the trend has altered a bit.  Just like the young gals now a days, even the ear has 10-15 mosquitoes hovering around her, all trying their luck at the same time …lolz
