Kartar Singh is homeless again.
I’m the culprit, of course. Lured him into an old jam bottle and poured him into a flower vase.
I needed his home as a quarantine tank, you see. My Zebra Angelfish was getting picked apart by his black cousins, and needed rescue.
So Kartar Singh and his temporary home are on my study desk as I type. And yes, you guessed it. So is the mirror.
Mr Singh is shimmying, sashaying, flashing away at his alter-ego, no sign of missing his pebbled home decorated with plants. He rises up every once in a while to the surface to breathe, comes over to my side, as if to say, isn’t life Fun? and dives right back into his silent squabble.
Oh for the memory of a fish.
If only I could be as much in the moment as Kartar Singh— forget the things I’ve left behind, not carry a trace of past grudges or worries for the future, be happy wherever I’m put, find my obsessions, and enjoy them.
Wouldn’t mind meeting my alter ego in person either.
I meet her often enough when I write, but never more than a glimpse, a shadow of understanding and then I’m back to myself, leaving her far behind.
The Zebra Angel is going back to the shop where I’m hoping he will recover and find another home. Mr. Singh will back in his fancy home by evening, and would have no memory of his trip to my desk.
Kartar Singh, Homeless and under Alien Attack!
There he is, one very confused Kartar Singh, swimming about amidst the reflection of bookshelves, trying to figure out how on earth could an alien Betta fish be swimming down at him from his roof.
Yes, I’ve covered the vase with the mirror now.
And if this fish could write I’m sure he would tell a great yarn about how he manipulated his owner into giving him adventure and travel!
He just might. No telling what Kartar Singh might do
..and thus a new book arises: The Imprisonment of Kartar Singh!
Lol…he is back in his own home now
Oh no! Poor Kartar Singh! He looks so confused…
He was
…thanks for stopping by to comment.
And so Kartar Singh became a fictional character.
Indeed. He has, I think, almost. But Kartar Singh in his fish avatar is as quarrelsome as the original
Oh, poor little fishy. I hope this one does better!

Lol hope you’re enjoying them
When I finished your previous post, I was wondering about the memory thing. Would he keep attacking his reflection, or would he eventually learn? Thanks for the update.
