Day after Day...

I am standing in queue to see Dhoom 2 like all the suckers before and more after me...
There is this single woman of around my age just ahead of me. She moves on after she buys her ticket. When I come up at the counter and ask for my ticket, the issuer pauses for just a moment, at the seat number next to the one issued to the single woman and then decides that I should not get it, gives me my ticket with another seat number. Now I know! All through college, I cribbed against why I never got to sit next to some cool woman on the bus, train, plane (although that has changed in the past, but still on too few occasions to count...)Big Sister is watching me.

But before this, I had amongst the most chilling experiences in life. There is this really cool place called Osho Teerth Park otherwise known as Nala Park to Pune residents, located in Koregaon Park. If you count the total walkway which you can use to run continuously from one side of the road to another, it is about 1.1 km. I did some n laps to make up for some 10-11 km, since I had run that kind of distance after a long time. Now here is the killer - At one end of the park, there is this former snake pit which had this metallic mesh enclosure whose door is now open with a notice saying - Beware of Snakes!!! Imagine you trying to take a walk in such tranquil surroundings one morning when you see this cool black cobra poised to take a swipe... Or better still, the ex-keepers of this enclosure doing their annual inventory - What do you mean there were only 2 vipers earlier?!... The possibilities are endless. For the 1st few laps, I kept watching my steps. Then I gave up....

What need I have for this, What need I have for that...
I am dancing at the feet of my lord, All is bliss, All is bliss...
