Gastropoda eroticum (2024) Original Ink Drawing by Rudra Kishore Mandal

A fantastic creature has manifested; from the class of molluscs, scientifically named as Gastropoda which we commonly call slugs and snails, blurring the lines between reality and wishful thinking. Its body resembles a human tongue, without eyes and without mouth and its shell is bulbous with psychedelic patterns. It senses the surrounding through touch and taste; flicking, licking and slobbering its way over contoured surfaces leaving a snail trail in its path. It feeds on arousal and grows on providing pleasure. If annoyed it doesn’t hesitate to sting. Sadly, not available in pet stores! Not all creatures exist in reality. They are not meant to either! They exist in the fertile world of our imagination. They are manifest in our dreams. They spirit us away into the realms of myths, folklores, stories and virtual reality! A space which distorts reality to preserve the illusion which is reality. Imagination has no rules, no logic and adheres to no scientific reasoning but without its fertile grounds even science can’t grow.
