The Chariot - the 2 wheeled one!
I was flying over the clouds yesterday. Speed-breakers........Black and white Speed-brakers thankyou! And a special mention of thanks to my chariot...THE CYCLE!
Money is scarce, was too, so I ended up buying a nice second hand Ladybird for a huge sum of 800 rupees plus tyre changing charges of 200/-. It was good to me for almost a year and suddenly of late it started performing even better. First of all the mudguard started to bend and a nice scrapping sound was heard. Clunck...Screech...Clunk.....Schreech. It was music to my years and of course I got a lot of attention; thanks to my faithful cycle.
Then one day the cycle shop anna told me......One of the gear tooth of my rear wheel decided to break, so I learnt to ride my cycle in a differant way! Well, I pedal it 3 times without friction and then the wheel gets engaged and starts moving. If I stop I have to repeat the same procedure to coax my cycle to move. Otherwise stated it would be like me doing exercise in the middle of the road on my cycle without moving. Sounds funny, but i bet you will enjoy the experience.
Then the day dawned when everything seemed to be fine and I thought I had completely understood my cycle. But the coochycoo cycle turned out to be smarter than me, its brakes refused to work... Well of course I didnt know that!I wanted to withdraw money from the ATM which is on a steep slope (put it scientifically about a 30 degree slope); at the end of which is a speed braker followed by another one some 10 feet away. Me as usual went down the slope thinking I will stop in front of the ATM. Instead I zoomed past it, I was bewildered. I wanted to shout Watch out! Watch out! like what happens in some movies.
But all I did was stare at the road with shock. (Oh! I forgot to mention my cycle doesnt have a bell) , some school girls fluttered like confused chickens seeing me approach at such a speed. I wanted to stop and apologise but I CUDN'T... Then the speed braker hit me with such a speed, I was flying. I didnt stop even after the second speed-beaker. But at the end of it I was relieved and had time to laugh so much that my stomach burst!
On a serious note- Iam selling my cycle. (Negotiable) Contact me and I will be happy to supply you with a wonderful cycle which will keep you busy always either at the cycle shop or at the hospital! Dont miss the golden opportunity!

Holy Cow!!!
Cows are really very docile animals. They never trouble anybody other than me. I dont know whats in me makes them so angry, may be I look like something very tasty to them! why do I say that? Experience man/woman all experience!!
I had gone to my cousins place and my granny has this habit of feeding this specific cow which passes everyday by that house and moos ..Smart cow! That day as usual my granny went out to feed this very docile cow, I too followed her. It started helping itself from the vessel which my granny was holding. I was so tempted to touch it and i did so, to my horror it got so annoyed that it stopped eating and menacingly threatened its horns on me, i fell down with shock and it stamped me with its soft hoofs. If it were not for my granny's quick thinking I would have been in the hospital with wounds in my stomach. She dragged the cows mouth with the vessel and it was behaving as if nothing had happened. I sometimes tend to think it had some kind of split personality.
Whoa! so much for a white cow, now for a white cow with brown patches. I was waiting one day at the bus-stand, all sorts of people were standing and all eagerly waiting for a bus to come in that scorching sun. It happened so that a hungry cow wandered about a bit here and there in search of something to eat. Since no bus was coming I stole a few glances now and then at the cow as if I were in love with that cow. It definitely had a voracious appetite, eating all its way to my back where it gave me a nudge on my back with its hornless head. I am sure I was lifted from the ground, so much for a nudge. By then the co-bus standers shooed away the cow. Either that cow saw grass on my back or it sould have been my hero in its previous birth..
Then comes the real fierce one. I was on my way to C classes in my second year of Engineering on my cycle. I had just taken a bend on the road near to the college temple when I saw a real fierce looking bull in full charge running towards me. It was such a sight my heart leapt to my mouth and my brains ceased to function (another boyfriend maybe!). At the nick of the time I came of the road, it would have been such an accident. Also it was deserted that afternoon I could have easily bled to death! The reason the bull was running so wildly was because of a stupid guy on a moped who was trying to catch this bull with a rope in true cowboy style. Maybe he was in dire need of a bull for his own sweet pet cow! Who knows! But I would have given him a lecture on the harmful effects of catching bulls like these.. What if he had suceeded in catching that bull with his rope and suppose it decides to run for its life, dragging him along. I wish something like that had happened, he had almost killed me with his act.
Cows are really docile! Thats true unless you are Sugeetha!

U guessed it.... Part VI
Crystal clear sugar candys, wow they just melt in my mouth and my heart melts with it! Sometimes I feel i must have been a horse in my previous birth.. What am I talking about? I was then, 10 years old. I used to love sugar candys (big chunky ones with lots of facets). So great was my love for them that I was famous among my relatives for it. They used to give me sugar candys (SCs) to befriend me (i was a sweet gal then u c! and that's y iam reminded of that horse..). Already feel like eating grass!
So what happened was my mother's younger brother was to get married and it was the engagement ceremony that day. I was dressed in all finery and so were the other guests and my would be aunt looked splendid! She was seated on the dias on a chair and the only other person on the dias was the camera crew and my mom who went to do some rites. So my dad called and asked me to stand in front of the dias as it was getting crowded with my relatives; all standing to get a better view. I reluctantly left my cousins to join him just in front of the dias. I was just a half meter tall then, so my shoulders were just above the dias' height. And lo! what do i see in front of me all sorts of things arranged in big thamboolams (plates). Bangles, sarees, beetel leaves, plaintains, fruits, sugar candies, turmeric... wait a minute did i see candies. Slurp!, Slurp!. I saw around everyone was busy with some job or the other. Some were watching the rites, some were animatedly talking to others. Sin! I saw about myself stealthily and grabbed as many as I could in a jiffy and popped a few in my mouth. Ah! the ecstasy!
Wedding also over, the newly wed couple came to our house. I went running to the gate to recieve them. After the pleasantries, we settled down to watch a movie it was called " My Uncles engagement", I was surprised to see my name also in the cast, a small role though.. That of a gal who went any lengths to eat SCs. In the movie I was seeing from one side to the other from the corner of my eyes, very nimble with that stealing part and that satisfied silly grin. Aunty, Uncle, Amma, Daddy, Thatha all having a hearty laugh. Smart camera crew! they focussed on me when I was in the act. Now i know the meaning of the phrase Catch them young.....
