The Curse +

"Do tropicana apple aur ek jimjam..347" ...taking the stuff i returned back for mi hostel pondering over what to study for the quiz scheduled that day it was 3 in the nite and not much time seperated me from the quiz. As i was walking silently ...thiinking about many issues ....with winter setting in and i in shorts was surprised to find the sudden chill in the air.
On the way suddenly "ohh shit !! phew missed by a whisker "....i narrowly missed trampling a big mouse and what i see next 1 2 3 ....10...20 mouses coming out and crossing the road ....very unusual sight!!, i thought ...a few 100 metres away ....long lines of Ants crossing they could have been thousands of them....."WTF is going on....rats and noww ants coming out .....and now the chill even grew stronger........wat cud it be.....mi brain starting processing ......WHAT !!! was it true...i searched mi phone and tried calling but no signal....shit ...ran and somehow got hold of the phne at the reception, dialled one number ......"Helllo Samrat here .....IS IT TRUE......"
"Yes it is ...." came the reply ...with this i hung up the phone...Shit how could it happen...
I returned back to the room looked into the papers for any abnormal activity in Delhi, Hyd, surat, Banglore ....nothing....Phew!! relieved i was but ...feelings of fear, anxiety, tension got over me....waited for 7 in the morning quickly ran to reception to look at the papers....scanned the whole paper but couldnt find anything eye catching ......was mi fears uncalled for....was i being foolish,
i then went and got to mi usual business attended mi classes and then in the afternoon at lunch when one of mi friends who was from gujarat suddenly exclaimed " fire accident in surat's reliance factory....3 employees miraculously saved....wow reliance can dodge nature also...heheh!!". A chill ran down mi spine!!! i quickly called up mi friend in hyd asking him abot any news " arey nothing happened, teh usual things but haan wait there was filmi style accident but no one got hurt thats the interesting thing i had just seen it while coming....." the friend replied
"from where ....the place..." i frantically asked..."arey near the hyderabad house ...near jubliee hills" he replied...."JUBLIEE HILLS!!!! ......" i shouted " what happened sab kuch theek hain"
"yaya aise hiii ok chal meet u later" i hung up the phne....The NEWS was true...i thought to miself
