Freak Man!!!!

Seeing the post title, everyone would be expecting a classic similar to Batman, Superman and things like that.. But this post has nothing to do with just any super-human (As i am a double super human :D).. This is just some idiotic ramblings by a totally jobless idiot (Though nowadays i am getting very less Jobless minutes :'()..

My friend uploaded a picture of mine in FaceBook, which can give tough competition to all the Egyptian Mummies.. My head was totally covered in bandages, yea i am exaggerating :P.. Remembering that nostalgic day, made me realize that many of the injuries i had are freakish to say the least..

Title : Freak Injuries

Episode 1: Location - Terrace
It was a sunny day, and we were playing a nice game of cricket.. I was batting on zero .. A nice in-swinging Yorker was bowled.. I played a nice looking defensive shot and was posing for the cameras (I know that details are not needed, but how else can i elongate the post huhh ;)).. Suddenly i could see a fielder dashing in, trying to knock the stumps.. He did manage to knock them off, not the stumps though but my teeth.. The next moment i was running with a tooth in my hand and he was following me crying and pleading to not to complain to my parents :P..

Episode 2: Location - Classroom
I was the leader of my class.. It was the teacher on whom i had a crush :D.. She asked me to collect the answer sheets from the class, and so i obeyed.. In my enthusiasm i tripped over a bag lying on the floor and BHAM!, i fell, my jaw hitting the corner of a desk and a deep cut in my chin.. I still got up and gave the answer sheets to my teacher, who was looking at my blood dripping face, horror struck :)..

Episode 3: Location - College Mess
This is by far the most freakish accident i ever had, and it was the first time ever i had stitches.. We were having our lunch in the mess.. The guy sitting next to me was making fun of the guy sitting opposite to him.. All this time i opened my mouth only for eating, was not even listening to what they were talking.. That guy got so much agitated that he threw the steel tumbler which he had in his hand towards the guy sitting next to me.. Yea right his aim was so good (we were not even a meter apart), that i hit me flat on the head, the top edge of the tumbler drilling into my skin and blood oozing out.. Had 4 stitches.. Gave treat to everyone in the hostel for this incident :P..

Episode 4: Location - Bangalore Streets
This is one incident where all my friends had a very good laugh hearing about, and no one believed the incident as i described.. I am sure no one will believe even now.. It was around 7 in the evening, and i was already agitated, coming out of a completely useless AMWAY meeting.. The streets were dark and i was walking alone and no living creature visible.. Suddenly something stinged my leg..
At first i thought, by mistake my leg touched the silencer of a bike standing nearby, but when i turned back to check, to my horror a dog was running giving nasty glares at me.. Then i realized that it was the dog which bit me :P.. At first i thought that it was the AMWAY guys who sent the dog behind me :D, since i came in the middle of the meeting without even listening to them.. There it was, my first dog bite.. I was just walking silently, it came from behind, bit me and ran off.. I did not throw stones at it.. It did not stamp on its tail.. But still :(

Episode 5: Location - Kaveri river
It was supposed to be a fun bike ride.. But it ended halfway.. Due to over enthusiasm i jumped into the water without changing to shorts.. When i realized that and was coming back to the shore to change, just walking, my leg finger got cut.. A part of my finger was dangling and i lost at least a litre of blood :D.. It required 7 stitches and the bike trip had to be cancelled because of that..

These are just some major episodes.. I didn't want to drag this like an Indian daily soap, so stopping it short and sweet :P...

Hoping nothing freakish happens in the Lakshwadeep trip :P..

A Jobless person who is trying hard to be Jobless..

Deepavali aka Diwali aka The festival of lights!!!!

Hi ya folks, happy deepavali to all of ya........ :D

Deepavali used to be the most awaited festival of our childhood days, at least true in my case!! But the enthu has totally fizzled out the older i got.. Now diwali has become nothing but, 2 to 3 days off from office life, go home, have nice feast, eat lots of sweets, sleep well and fatten yourself up..

Part of this is because of all these rules banning high decibel crackers, due to the noise pollution it causes.. Who the hell is going to burst some bijili crackers huh.. The only good thing about Diwali nowadays is the night time view of the sparkling rockets, decorating the whole night sky...


Gone are the days, when even though u step on a live stone cracker and have a nice burn on your foot, you still burst crackers by sitting on a chair, rather than taking rest..

Gone are the days, when we used to prepare manja for kite thread..

Gone are the days, when we used to run around the streets waiting for kites flying all around to fall down..

Gone are the days, when we used to have kite fights, the whole building gathering in the terrace, shouting if someone tries to cut the thread hanging over their terraces when a serious kite fight is going on..

Gone are the days, when being in a room full of crackers an idiot throws a live sparkler into the room making the whole box of crackers go on for the next 10 mins with me still being inside.. Swearing that idiot for the next 10 mins even though i could not hear what i was speaking, hearing some trumpet blowing for the whole time..

Gone are the days, when during our rocket fights with other buildings, by mistake we burned up the the dry leaf shelter which they had put on the terrace of a school building and running down so that no one blames us :P..

It was all good when i was in the middle of all these things.. But now the same thing which i enjoyed during my childhood days, annoys me, making me swear whenever i hear a loud bang outside :(..

Hoping for a wet and damp diwali, without any noise and happy sleeping :P.. Just kidding...

I know there are still those who enjoy doing all these.. So atleast for that reason, i will plug my ears and let them enjoy their share of diwali ;)..

Have a crackling diwali...

A Jobless Idiot who is gonna go deaf for the next 3 days :P..

PS: Ya, i forgot, our company gave a humongous sweet box as diwali gift, which helped satisfy a poor little boy's hunger.. Thanks a ton :D
