Ride Away to Glory...
Riding a bike in Chennai is quite an experience. As your bike travels over the cross-country like terrain you keep getting a "tot-a-tot-a-tot" feeling similar to riding a horse.
Inbetween the cool evening weather and the tottering, I felt like pouring out my emotions in the form of a song. So i took a deep breath, and starting singing away to glory, with just my heart for company. Just as i was going "Oooooooooohhhhh.....Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh...Lalalaaaa...." ala a soprano, there was this "eeeeeeeeeeennnggggg" and a feeling that something bumped into my upper palate!
Yuck!! What else could i do except rue over my rotten luck and try to force-blow the MOSQUITO out from my mouth! Thank heavens that I didn't close my mouth or try finding out what had landed, with the help of my taste buds! :(...When will India's civic amenities ever improve?!

next time you go under some train bridge., i'd suggest you stop if there is a train on the bridge., and wait till it passes by... hmm., you can never be sure what water is dripping.. :-S

you should have just eaten it... I'm pretty sure that mosquitoes are considered a delicacy in some vague part of the world ;)

oh no..
but in any case... i read that an average human eats at least 1 spider in his lifetime.
those daddy longlegs, just sometimes enter your mouth when you are asleep, and well, you probably would have just chewed it in..
So i mean.. be glad that you got that mosquito out, or else you would have eaten one spider, and one mosquito.

if the mosquito had blogged.....
" i was on my way
on a holiday,
suddenly was in for a shock,
ahead was a block,
there was a cave in mid air,
god sometimes never seems fair...
it was dark, wet n noisy in
there,
n then suddenly a force from
no where,
i got spurtted out in terror
n got back home to have a shower,
n ya, ther went my holiday,
but to god i pray,
never to bring such caves my
way..."

Whenever I say such things, they say I complain. ANd people talk about bigger ones like economically developed nation by 2020 and nuclear programmes and advanced defence technology and ....
When will they look into the basics of human living in the country
