FIRE IN THE HOLE!!

So it was another weekend gone by....and well there was nothing very eventful except that i almost butnt the pan .... i just put up there something to cook and then well.....i forgot it..i got busy watching some new videos and well....after sometime ..my friend got in..and almost choked...it was all smoke n ...nonono..no fire..thank god...ot it wud have been pretty bad.....the pan was almost on the verge of being flowing out like what....hot lava?? no..it wasnt tht bad either..soo.....it just happened.
....
Now i am famous ..or infamous..whatever you say. Well..i havw this very bad habit of forgetting my mobile everywhere n everytime....and its been atleat 3 or 4 times that i just kept it at my desk and the other friend of mine..who sits next to me..he would take it..keep it hiddedn and then i'll be allll time searching for it. I juast keep on forgetting that...and everytime its with him...but i am forgetting things....itsss bad!! its really bad.
....
Ok another thing happend..interesting..(maybe ..of sorts)...well this Mumbai local...i am still not used to it..i avoid as i can. Well so the other day i had to travel in it. I had a second class ticket..i was waiting for the train....it came..i cudnt get in..too much rush...another came...nopes..stil not..third came...not even this one...so well i decided..that i cant get inside....so i just got thought maybe i can get into the first class compartment(its a little..very little better)...though i dint have the ticket but its very common here to travel without a ticket..so anyways...i thought atleast i have the ticket...so i somehow managed to get inside. So well thers one more thing to add here. The people who travel by tht first class know cam make it out that who is travelling withoiut ticket or who just got into this first class compartment.
...
So as i got in...i heard someone screaming(not at me)..hey you..this is first class comp..get out...the poor guy who looked black with sweat n all.....was literally thrown out. The same guy tells me.....these ppl na...they travel without tickets and get inside..they shud be beaten( i was almost imagining how it would be like if someone came to know even i dint ave proper ticket)....so but neways...i just smiled and nodded. I went to the far corner//in between lot of people....i was almost happy that atleast i got in and no ticket checking ..no nothing..my bad luck..there was this toicket checker guy...he came straight to me...and said..ticket please....i stood still and figured out he wasnt talking to me....well the guy who he was talking to also dint have the proper ticket....so he took him with him...but wait......he wanted some more ppl whom he cud fine..he just said to me...sir, ticket please......
...
The station had come..n i said..what yarr....letme get dowm first..but he wont let go...so anyways..what he said..ok come with me..held me by my hand(like i am a thief or something)....at that moment..i suddenly remembered... (last week there was a picture in newspaper...the caption read)....people traveling without tickets...i sudenly became adventorous..i thought hey llookk....fianlly..i might get to know what a lockup is like...i imagined that i am calling my friends..they are at the police station...but then we got to the office...and he sent rest of the without ticket guys in to another roopm..told me to stay...n asid..sir..what do you do....i just blah blahed something..and showed him my card...i tried to be stern and like..."its not my fault..i was pushed by crowd into this first class compartment" types....well but..he came to know i was in a bank..and said..look u can pay me 500 bucks....whatt!!! i can trvel to delhi from mumbai in that same money in a better kind of compartment...he said thats a fine....he gave me the other option...or you can come with me to the police station...what?? am i really going there..yahoo!!! but on second thought ....no yarr..let me pay this guy(in siomple words..thats a bribe)..i took a 100 rupee note...and said look(old... bald.. fat... idiot... bastard....i said these in myhead) what came out was...look sir( bastard..fk u !)...i got only this much....he was like..hahaha...heyy this is fine ok..nothing less than 300..i said i dont have any..he said 200...well i gave him 150...fianlly...i wish i cud have kicked him hard...i kicked that coke can instead...it almost hit that lady..thank god it didnt or she wud have yelled at me...(oye andha hai kya!!)..thats another experince at mumbai......but that rush at the station..it is maddening....mad mad mad ...........

Tiger Anthem


Well.....i just came through this beautiful poem in Tigers thing on the WWF india website....

I too say....Save the tiger......Respect its Life. Respect Life..not only yours or of the tiger......but of every creature on this earth. Well...maybe we can learn to respect that. Belonging to a place where probably the worlds biggest tiger population thrives read Jim Corbett National Park...i know that these creatures do not have a lot of space to live in......we are eating out in to their place....worse still....we are killing them.....Join the Save the Tiger Campaign here....
..Seeing them in a zoo doesnt give the slightiest ideas as to how marvellous therse creatures look like in the wild..and how nature has bestowed on them the sheer power ... the might..the ROAR...Belive me, the world wont look good with only the Freaky Humans in it....maybe we should save it for ourselves...Hers that good sounding Anthem..The tiger Anthem:


My son asked me the other day

Do we have tigers only in the zoos

My teacher tells me the forests are gone

The deers are gone, wild animals are gone

The king of the junge now kills our cattle

Poachers on his trail Now people live where once he lived

His skin is up for sale.

I said son, your teacher's not fully right

Tigers are in danger, but still they survive

You can still see them in the wild Sure I will take you there someday

The future of the tiger still hangs by a thread

But the battle is still not lost We don't wanna see tigers only in the zoos

We'll save them at any cost And its now or never, for the future of the tiger

It is time to decide if we wanna see the tigers in the wild

And he looked you in the eye, When you shot him, before he died

It is time that we ensure we gave the tigers a safe home.

Well son, the tiger needs your support In you his future lies

If the tigers live, the forests live

And we need it for us to survive

I take the vow not to buy anything

That has tiger part

And I will try my best to gain all support

For the tiger with all my heart And its now or never....
