The fields were full of buttercups and dandelions. The sweet scent...

Of Monkeys And Men

By Tapan Ghosh on June 06, 2017 / 4,987 views

Have you heard of a man being stopped in his tracks by a giant monkey? What I am about to narrate is no story or figment of imagination. It actually happened to me. It was in the middle of nowhere that I encountered a strange and seemingly dangerous situation that made me question our pre-conditioned thinking.
