Cats galore

Around 9.00 in the night , saw something moving on a bench. Didnt seem like aperson. As I got closer, a cat ran into the greens on the left. And still the bench's not empty.Then my eyes caught another cat running towards the left. And still I hesitated to move further. there was anither cat , lying royal on the hard bench. What was it? some cat orgy??
I just tried to ignore the cats and the fears of all my animal nightmares of them attacking me,...and quickened my steps

The bride who couldn't 'Run Away'

How lucky is the guy whose bride will not 'run away'? Not always..
the bride was all dressed in her paraphernalia, with her sis and mom overlooking the needed. Suddenly they vanish, and the 'focus point' seemed to have gone. Cause now the bride lost touch of what time it was. She dilly-dallied. She thought she needed some head gear. with no purse, she went into this really expensive place, only to be denied of any useful service. Although the lady tries to help her with some second hand thing, she cant find it right then. And then the bride realises that her garment she is in not the one meant for the ceremony and so she has to find someone to help her get into the right stuff ..With all this happening, she realised it was 3.00 in the afternoon. While the wedding was in the morning.
The 'next thing to do' was to get her feet moving, not to 'run away' but to find out the after-math of never reaching there.

spooky dream

I was going to introduce 7 dwarfs to someone. I put my hand forward for a shake and the opposite woman, just gave one of her finger, which suddenly turned into a hand. Simultaneously .. she said 'I am A' and even before her second finger could turn into a hand and say 'this is B's hand'.. I just took to my heels and avoided watching A's face turn into some scary demon's....

'Whoa' said a car-driver!!

Whats with the car drivers? Why dont they let the pedestrains cross the tiny stretch of road, peacefully without a care?
One day, at a sub-crossing, there was a car to my left waiting for the road to clear, No motion on his side.. even after that.. so assumed I was the one to move.. when there was a half of the car to be passed..he felt like wearing the driver hat...he's like 'whoa!'.. like I appeared there out of nowhere... I am short.. and I know the car bonnet is high, but still how would you explain if you did the same to a kid.. The only vaguest understandable point would be , that it was around 10.00 in the night...
Recently at around small place, when my friend and I were just about to cross the road, a couple realises that its strange for people to walk on a green sign exactly when they want to claim the road.. Its not like we are in a forbidden zone.. or you are in some alien world where 'all green signals' are meant for you...
And just about today morning, when I the bus I thought I would take turned out to be full, the driver aved a hand, indicating 'no seats'...
Even if having one imbecile making aturn in an undecipherable way causing every worry to the pedestrians.. another thought ..'oh, why not.. I am sure they can take this..' How whatever-savvy can you get that you expect the pedestrians crossing the road, to wait and watch your feats and then be run over, just in case , they are enthralled by your skill on wheels...
And then there's another such incident, which scared me so much.. I thought I was crossing the wrong light.. and I thought that was gonna be the last anyone would see or hear me.. Gladly no!
But looks like there's no end to such freaks!! And sometimes when I am running , while there's enough time to walk.. it feels odd.. 'But now.. no amount of caution is too much...' I do not know if this act of running, statistically makes any difference to my probability of brushes with the devil?
And no its not over yet.. I do not know if having a fancy terminology .. called 'power brake' makes it any intellectual.. its unbearable... Clearly the roads will never get dirty.. what with the metro buses and their techno brakes.. all the dust on the road and from the chimney is all spewed onto the unexpected pedestrians, like it was some punishment.. Hello, dont choke me.. walking's no crime!!

People,Elevators and Balances

There are two lifts in the building that I spend most of my day. One of them conks of without notice. It was that time of the week, when the sluggish one thought it needed to 'creak' for the oil.
A gentleman was about to get into this lift. Having seen the elevator 'out of order' for the last two days, i just told him that it might not be a good idea to use this. Probably I shouldn't have said that. he seemed to have taken offence.
Yesterday, a woman went into this lift and she just came out. I just asked her if there was any problem. She said the lift was acting weird moving up and down like a common balance and she thought it better to use the other lift..
A lift at the library here, is like a two way spring balance.

Dense Elevator

I was just waiting for the lift to come to the 1st floor and when it was just about to open, I saw an unusual scene. At a grad college, the whole lift is filled with people with no place for even one foot but there was just one head meeting my eye. It was so filled with tiny tots, who were just waiting to explode out of the lift. Must have been some tour.Some of the kids were swiping their passes at the vending machine. And a kid wanted to stay at the threshold just to see the elevator stop from closing.

Just like I want

Today the weather has just amazed me. Its been so hot all these days. I was just hoping it would cool down and rally hoping high that it would rain. A friend of mine staying else where, is enjoying the luxuries of rain(non-stop for 4 days.. now thats too much rain).So all the more I wanted showers. And today I wake up at nine in the morning expecting it to be sunny and ..its not so.. its like 6.00 in the morning. Now the weather is 87F today and it will be cooler tomorrow and icing on the cake.. it'll rain on Saturday.. 'Rain Rain come again, dont go to Spain!!!'
