“I promise I will come and pursue you both”
Twinkle, 50, wrote: “As we were driving back to the camp that evening, the guide showed us a pair of birds called Tik-Tik who are so devoted to each other that when one dies, the other sometimes kills itself by eating poisonous grass. I said to my husband (Akshay), ‘Acha (listen), if I die first, you better eat poisonous grass too. If I see your second wife walking around with my handbags, I promise I will come and chase you both.’
Twinkle, also known as Mrs. Funnybones, continued in her typically witty writing style: “He shook his head and replied, ‘I want to eat this poisonous grass now, then at least I don’t have to listen to all this nonsense.’ Then he swatted at a mosquito on my arm, the human equivalent of baboons delousing each other. We continued to perform the complex choreography of cooperation, affection and mutual tolerance as our jeep sped towards the setting sun.”
