This gigantic spider (maybe crab is a better description) suddenly appeared on my wall – about the size of a silver dollar – conspicuously close to my bed. Swallowing my initial concern and trying to remind myself of all the good things spiders do I took the following picture. 
Unfortunately I felt it lacked perspective and tried to figure out how to capture it in another shot. I thought using my toe might be a good idea, but not surprisingly as I moved it toward the spider (god knows what I was thinking) the spider ran away…. Right into plain site of my gecko roommate, Boy George. I was worried that BG might get killed by this fierce looking creature, but before I knew it the fight had been called. 
Let’s hear it for another rockin Saturday night in Gaighat!

ha ha – reminds me of my evenings in India – lizards (in plural) crawling all over the place and eating them spiders, mosquitoes and flies – I used to love lizards coz they ensured fewer bug bites at night.
