A feast wid snakes...

Hi..... m nimy... n dis is ma first blog.. a dream that I had sum days bak, so I hope I can get most of it for you.

It starts out with me walking down a muddy mountaneous road in my village -kakanikadd (kerala) , with big teak trees and grass on either sides, I can only see a part of the road as slightly ahead of me. As I'm walking, I pass a snake curled up on a rock. It looks at me but I know it isn't a dangerous snake. It's a "good" snake, so I move on, and leave it alone. Snakes are very common in dis part and u cn easily find a crawling companion while walkin home, so i m nt dat worried abt dem. I'm still walking, and pass a rattlesnake, curled up on the side of the road. It doesn't strike, just rattles it's tail, it startles me, but I leave it behind.

Suddenly i reachd a plain area, it is nt ma village. I can c a park where children are playing, but they are surrounded by snakes. I know there are several children, but I focus on one, which I think is a little girl. She is near the merry-go-round like ride, (no horses, just one like are in kiddie parks). I got a glimpse of a white tiger somewhere in the park. It isn't prominent, but it is there. I hurry to a small building ahead of me, (which reminded me of a telegraph office, or train station office) and go inside to call 911.

The lady at the desk asked what was wrong and I told her I needed to use the phone because the children were surrounded by snakes. She let me and I called the police. The police told me to get everyone out of the office and I did. I was alone in the office trying to convince them to help the children. They were not very concerned. I told them there were many snakes and a tiger out there with the kids. Their attitude was very condescending, and unhelpful.

As I was sitting in the chair, a burgundy colored "Siamese" snake came out from under a nearby chair. I thought at first it just had two heads, but it had two bodies too. The body of the head on the left, (as I was looking at it), looked like it had been bitten off, just behind where the snakes joined, but it was alive.

I was still on the phone, and the right head moved up and bit me on the left thigh. I told the police that I was being bitten, but I didn't think it had fangs. It didn't hurt, just tingled a lot. I recalled sumthn I heard somewhere not to fight it if a snake bites you, just let it, till it was done. The sensation of tingling was strong, but I woke up before the snake stopped biting me. That was the end of it, but it was quite vivid, especially the bite on the thigh.

My recent journey..23rd July'09

Hie.. all dere... dis is ma 2nd blog (had to b 1st as i wrote it much b4 i posted ma first one bt thot itz nt worth bein posted) althou i created ma a/c months bak... don knw whether i'll b an interesting writer or not but yea i will try ma best..

so here it goes..

it was 23rd July n ma last day in b'lore, i had been dere for last 2 months for ma summer internship. i was goin to leave the place, ma frnz, ma cousins, d company i worked in for 2 months n ofcourse ma life.... i would come bak to it latr. i stayed in a PG wid 4 odr girls (in ma room). blissfully i was d younger, i tuk advantage of dat everytym. i was close to 2 girls.. Satya n Neelam. dey treated me as a kido n me being a foodie always got sumthn to eat when dey came bak from office. in d evenin ma frn wud come n we wud move out to explore the nuks n corners in d city, n i gotto learn a gr8 deal abt the city, days passed like dis. i was loving the place alot. a sense of belongingness came into me... i was sad dat soon i will b leaving. on 23rd i tuk all the certificates n documents dat i needed from the company n by 1:30 i started packing. i din know how to accomodate all the things in jus 2 bags. i thot i wud need one more bag. due to the cloudy weather i din wash ma clothes from 2 days so i had mushy clothes to carry. i hate dat, bt had to do. by 3 pm i was done. i tuk a short nap n den got ready, by 5 pm i was ready to leave. ma heart was beating lik nythn..i wanted to cry but dere was no1 to c dat. i slowly moved ma bags to the gate n cald n auto. i gave the keys to the landlord n wid a blue smile i started off to B'lore city station. ma heart was sinking wid every 50 paisa increase in the metre not b'coz i had to pay d driver bt coz wid each 100 mtrs i was gettin away frm d place n god knws whether i m evr gonna get bak here. i had a feeling dat dis is d last tym, aftr dis never.. i cald all ma frnz dat m on d way to station. i wanted some1 to say dat " nimy don't go.. dis place wud b hell widout u...." bt m so lucky dat evry1 was sayin, "don b sad n do come bak. u cn come bak nytyn u feel." Hey all u duffers if i cud come bak nytym i felt den y wud i leave dis place out of choice... nyways i had to leave. i reached station. one of ma dear frn came aftr 10 mins. v headed towards d platform n sat dere. i came 1 hr 35 minutes b4 tym n saw the train i had to board- Karanataka Express.

i wanted to go bak to ma pg.. bt was helpless. den after some tym ma odr frn came. she got a lot of stuff for me 2 hav during ma journey, (d only part dat i liked till dat tym..). i had ma dinner at 6'o clock frm a restrnt outside rly stn n by 7:10 i was in front ma coach B1. i felt as in ma heart was pumping more den required blood into ma vessels, i was drawin bak ma steps. nyhow ma frnz got ma bags inside d train bt i stood out, der was a war goin inside me dat whether i shud go or nt. i nevr loved a city lik dis. it was 7:17 exactly wen i was forced to get inside the train n ma frnz ( bt dat tym ma enemies) stood outside watchin ma pleading face. i was nt able to vomit a single word. oh ho i forgot to mention one impt thng dat was stopin me frm gettin into d train. wen v were standin at d platform some cops came n started searching for sumthn in d train. dey evn searched ma coach. i had a feelin dat sumthn wrong is goin to hapn n i shud nt get in. actualy thnx to Final Destination.. i saw dat jus 1 day b4 n was haunted by the incidents dat take place in d movie. ma mind was wandering in d world of thoughts i wud say fierce n deadly thoughts. but i knew nyhow i had to go. i got in finally took a deep sigh n waved ma hand in slow motion saying gud bye... train started moving n ma frnz also startd moving wid d train. i came more close to the door, i wanted the train to stop (actualy i wanted ma frnz to stop me frm goin). one of ma frn started crying n dat triggered ma tear pumps. i stood at d door crying. ma frnz wer gettin out of sight slowly. i cudn't c dem nymore. finally i knew dat i was goin bak.

And dis was ma lyf's first journey dat i nvr wanted to take up..
