tah-dah!! colourama

this was something my friend Swetha and i co-authored when we worked at Mudra, an ad agency in kochi. Danny, who was to look after us through those two weeks where we interned there, had us write a copy test. well, one of the questions in the test was to invent a weather of our own and write about it just like how it would be explained in a 4th standard text book. well here's what we came up with!!!

COLOURAMA

            This weather occurs during the months of January and February in a few islands off the coast of Australia. The temperature of this time stays at a constant -20 degree Celsius without snowfall and without any movement of air. The atmosphere is calm and still.

Bonk

          The unique feature of this season is BONK. Bonk is a slightly viscous, multicolored moderately hot liquid that rains over these islands continuously over the period of two months. A faint smell of tomatoes fills the air when it bonks.

        When it bonks, the leaves change color according to the color of the bonk drop that falls on it. The bark does not change color. The mud found on these islands are black and it absorbs the bonk without any change in color.

Lifestyle

      The houses on the islands are designed to withstand the effects of this weather. The walls are made of glass and as wood repels bonk the sloping roof is wooden. The roof is designed to touch the ground so that the bonk runs into the mud.

       As this weather is unique to these islands the inhabitants of these islands have developed a special bonk resistant material called  REBONK .Rebonk is a white rubber like material, quite similar to that which swimming gear is made of. During this season the islanders wear body suits made of rebonk and black galoshes and they carry transparent umbrellas to protect them from bonk which has some unusual effect on the human body. One of the effects is that hair changes color on contact just like leaves do. On contact with skin, bonk reacts with the skin causing a high amount of hair growth in that area. This problem solves by itself in a day or two.
