Angry Birds and a Happy Me!!




I never thought something angry could ever make me happy.  But these cute things called angry birds bring a smile on my face every time I see them.


It was almost a year ago that the angry voices of these angry creatures, first started being heard in my house. It was love at first sight for my then four year old and many versions of the game started appearing on my mobile like magic.


Angry Akshaj  with his angry Bird...


Though I resisted their charm initially, I eventually fell hard. I began to fight with my son shamelessly for turns to play the game. “Grow up” shouts from my husband tore through my conscience and I gave up fighting.


Now my house resembles an angry birds’ showroom, with many angry bird plush toys and angry-birds-in-real- life game sets. And when an angry- birds-in-real -life game is being played, more like a battle field.


Angry birds in real life

My son has become an expert on angry birds and if required he can write a thesis on angry birds; complete with the sound that each bird makes and their special powers.

He tells me that the birds are angry because the pigs steal their eggs and prepare scrambled eggs for breakfast. So Bad piggies indeed!


Now I am scared that hens might come screaming revenge at me because of the scrambled eggs and egg biriyanis that I make!! Phew…


Then there was this quote I found at one of the angry- birds-play-online sites.


“Angry birds are like real life. Every time you fail, there will be pigs laughing at you”


So true!! :) :)

Now we have conquered the pigs in Space, Star wars, Rio, Friends and even Seasons....

Happy me!!

  4. I carefully avoid playing these games because once I get addicted to them it'll be hell for me. I was so addicted to Farmville years back that I used to set alarm and get up in the morning just to harvest and plant my plots. :D
