What an accident that was!
"Thats it, mom. How much will you repeat that same thing. Your eating my mind. i can't tolerate your temper. I'm going"
"Come back here young man or your going to be grounded for that attitude. What? Your going out cycling with our picnic bag? Come back this instant."
"No way mom. I'm leaving and going live like a gypsy."
I picked up my MultiTerrain Bike and put on my helmet. The picnic bag which was now going to hold my rations was neatly strapped on my back. At full speed I charged ahead, with my mom cursing me at my back. I went to my favorite place, the countryside. All of the sudden a descent started. I started gaining uncontrollable speed. In the bat of an eye, my cycle landed straight on a pothole. My cycle gave a slight wobble and then started rolling down the hillside. i lost control and crashed straight into a tree.
"Help" I shouted, suddenly feeling a bump on my head. My mother came running into the room. I suddenly realized that all of this was a bad dream. I was so engrossed in it that I thought it was real and ended up falling from my bed.

Friday the 13th
All alone. A rainy dark night. Parents on an outing. Just watched "The Grudge". Cowering in fright of the memory of that horrid film. Desperately trying to brighten myself by a book.
That was my position during that September 13th 2009(friday). Its never to be forgotten.
WAIT A MINUTE. What was that thought again. Oh yeah "mom and dad,come home soon". How silly of me to be frightened that night.
I wish we had not shifted to this lonely manor. We were rich,that was my fear. What if a theif broke in, or if I was taken for a ransom.
So there I sat, with a negative attitude. Wait, what was that sound!was it mom and dad. Or the black and unexpected visitor I feared. I was frightened out of my wits.
Crash!!
In the kitchen pantry(which could hold upto 5 men),a jar was broken. "That's it"I said. Picking up a baseball bat, I ,in an awkward manner, walked upto the kitchen.
The door was ajar. I gulped. Inside the pantry,though it was dark, I didn't turn on the lights.I guessed I would see a dreadful sight.
As I stood at the threshold,I noticed a slight moment under a cloak.
WHAMM went my bat. I pulled off the cloak and turned on the lights.
Guess what I noticed.

Bandhar Bandhar
If your friends tease you by the name Bandhar, you wouldn't earn a good position in the society if you read this article. Its making news in Africa
Monkeys are very closely related to us. Chimps are the only animals (i.e. except us) that can recognise their own reflection in a mirror. Some gorillas also have been taught human sign language. Primates have been ranked as the world's #1 tool users.
But still there is a part of their brain which has a bend towards daftness. Monkeys have been known for their greediness, selfishness and lack of common sense.
Scientists studying monkey behavior and zoologist in Africa have developed a new technique to capture monkeys in an harmless manner. They take long and narrow necked glass bottles. in them is put a large sized nut ( I don't know how). The bottle is then left in the heart of the forest, tied to a tree.
Next day the trap-layer returns to the same spot. A monkey will be found traped with its arm stuck in the long neck.
Why does this happen?
Actually, the monkey gets greedy seeing a large nut. It puts its arm into the bottle and grabs hold of the nut, But due to the large size of the nut, the monkey cannot pull its arm out of the bottle unless it lets go of the nut. The scientist then simply grabs hold of the monkey's arm and using a light hammer, gently breaks the bottle. thus the monkey gets caught.

What does this remind you of?
As gullible as a monkey
OR
As Daft as a monkey

A Memento
CRASH!!!!
I suddenly woke up at 3:25 at the fortis hospital, feeling numb and having my father comforting me at my side. I remembered that I had an accident.
I felt something cold in my pocket. My mother's locket,which now was mine.
2 years ago- I lost my way in a fair. I had my mother locket in my hand. When I looked at it, I saw that her eyes were pointing towards a distant building. There were my parents in front of it, arousing my absence. When I explained everything, my mother said I was lucky and proclaimed that the locket was a bond of me and her.
Current- All the things I had to Undergo were shameful. I could not tolerate the thought that my mother was out of this world.
6 years later- I was doing briallant in studies, and now I have completed my first year. On a dull evening of a december day, a dog sprang out of a corner, chasing me me back to my ward. As I passed a worn beggar , I heard that something fell out of my pocket. Still scared of the dog, I didn't look back. At last when I changed my pajamas, I realised it was the locket.
Gone was my memory of my late and precious mother, lost to this unforgiving and cruel world.
I know where my locket is, in the hands of that beggar. Just wait till I catch hold of him.........
