Fear Factor

He is scared of it. He is so scraed of it that it comes in his dreams and scares him to wake him up suddenly and then he cries out loud.

With it's huge body it sits in a corner and when hungry it wide opens its mouth and eats like a hipopotamus. Then for about an hour it eats, drinks water , after that cleans the mouth and that big tummy by spitting water out and leaves a big noisy burp at the end before it starts to sleep again sitting in that corner. It shakes its body hysterically sometimes with a huge roar. He doesn't understand why they keep him at home. They have it in most of his relatives' and neighbours' homes too. When he visits a new place he walks on tip of the toe and goes to the kitchen and work area and bathrooms to find out where he sits at that home. He knows that these are the places where it is generally found. Once he spots its cosy position in a house he screams and runs back and make sure that he never ever goes to that room and if possible the room beside it too. People say that there is nothing to be scared of it, it doesn't do anything but he would not believe that. He just hates whoever says so to him.

And the "he" in this story is my 2 year old.

"It" is nothing other than the Washing Machine!

Formula's Never Fail

It was raining. I waited for 5 minutes. There was no sign of the rain gods going to stop pouring and I didn't have a choice. In the new office, they are very strict about the timing. So come what may, I didn't have a choice and started off from home while it was raining still. And at the JNTU junction, that school bus.. He didn't have a choice to wait too perhaps. Come what may, he has to reach school before the classes begin. And for ages there this junction at JNTU has been there. And according to the general theory of friction what has to happen will happen. It happened without fail.

So this explains why I'm limbing today. Ha.. ha.. ha!

(If I were to explain the theory of collission?! Oh God!)
