It was a Sunday and I remember it clearly.
It was my 8th birthday and
I was home from boarding school for the weekend.
Sometimes I brought my roommate Dede, but not this time.
My dress was navy with tiny white raised dots ...
I forget what that material was called, but
I could feel the texture when my arm rubbed against it.
Update: Norma reminded me the material was called
"dotted swiss", I don't know if it exists anymore?
So today, a many decades later ...
I still remember.



A remarkable wildlife story from Gujarat, India, captured widespread attention after a homeowner noticed dogs barking almost every night. Curious about the repeated disturbance, the owner installed security cameras to discover what was happening.
The footage revealed an unexpected visitor—a wild leopard that quietly approached a cow each night and remained peacefully beside it before returning to the nearby forest.
According to local accounts, the leopard had lost its mother as a very young cub and was reportedly cared for by the same cow, which is said to have nursed it until it was old enough to survive in the wild. Although this part of the story has never been scientifically verified, many people believe it explains the leopard's repeated nighttime visits.
Wildlife experts note that the leopard showed no signs of aggression toward the cow, making the relationship highly unusual. While the exact reason for the visits remains unknown, the observations continue to fascinate researchers and animal lovers alike, highlighting one of nature's most intriguing and mysterious interactions.
