So after a productive internship discussion at Barista, M G Road, which is incidentally quite expensive (ergo, do not go there unless you have a fat wallet…), I was walking down what is known as the ‘ramp’* at the Dairy Circle side of The Forum Mall (*ramp – the walkway leading in/out of the mall, which has granite seats on both sides which are frequented by oggling wannabe desperados, which gives you, the walker, a feeling of quite like a model, regardless of whether you’re male or female-thanks to today’s increased freedom of sexual choice). While walking down up the ramp, which was surprisingly empty (not surprising, as I soon discovered when I glanced at the watch and found the small needle between ten and eleven, and the big needle at eleven…), I thought about the weird creature thing which had haunted me a few minutes back at Mc D.
After a thoroughly vegetarian meal burger, I was washing my face and rinsing my mouth, when I suddenly felt something in my mouth…
Something squishy…
Food? No… Something non-vegetarian, I could swear!
Uh… Was that a pair of wings which I just felt?
*spit*
There’s this expression in Malayalam which roughly translates into “Close your mouth or a fly will go into it!”. This is used when someone is quite blank and open mouthed.
Well, something similar had happened to me… The spit revealed the splattered figure of an anopheles mosquito, which had obviously been trying to do a suicide act, to perhaps get at my tongue, which the poor now-dead anopheles must have figured to be something quite juicy…

I never knew it was a part one. I never thought there would be a part two. Thinking about this episode, and disgustingly spitting now and then, I was walking down the ramp, when a poor tired rat, walking the ramp just like I was, took a liking for my white sneakers and decided to hitch a ride…

I don’t have a dislike towards rats… But dark smelly disgusting objects jumping onto my foot at eleven in night when I’m thinking of mosquitoes in my mouth… Not a good combo…
So I was thinking of these two incidents and walking down the street leading to my house. Superstitious me believed in the occurence of similar events in the series of three, and was wondering what was next…
While these wonderings wonderfully crossed my wonderous mind, my eyes wandered through the winding way, and soon my ears beheld a whelping. Soon I came across a puppy, lying on the footpath in quite a cute manner. Earlier during the evening, I had stood and watched a puppy play with a piece of rubber tubing, and this puppy looked so much like the initial puppy. So in some insane other-wordly weird state of courageous mind, I went towards to puppy saying “Hellloooo”.
Now people who know me well would know this strange unexplained mutual affinity that I happen have with dogs. Its sort of falls in the inversely proportional category of love/tolerance. The more physically closer I get to a member of the Canis familiaris family, the more aggressive they prone to be, and the more scared I tend to be.
But whats with a puppy, I thought, and went forward. Well, I was quite wrong. Yet another lesson in life about listening to instincts and trusting what your inner self tells you…
The puppy runs forward yelping and barking. Another puppy joins it. I run!
After running like around twenty metres, I stop, and start laughing… Chased by a puppy, I thought and laughed 
While laughing, I slowly walked forward.
Woof woof bark bark bark woof… Came the sounds from behind…
Lol… The puppies again… Uh… Puppies? I thought puppies yelped… and not barked…
No this wasn’t the puppies! It was their mom and dad! And mom and dad’s friends! And where they pissed! Aaaaaaaaaaaa!
Phiskyaaaaaooooooowwww…. I ran for dear life.

Quite a night…
