The Funniest Incident
One Sunday moming, I received an invitation from a friend of mine, Sudhir. I had come back from the UK to my native place. So, he invited me to lunch. I got up early in the morning and started getting ready. My sister gave me a cup of tea early in the morning. Then, 1 took my bath and got ready. My sister then again asked me to take some snacks and tea but I refused to take it as I was more interested in reaching my friend’s house. She insisted upon me to take a heavy breakfast but I ignored her request. I went out of my house and stood at the bus-stop. I boarded the bus. The conductor came and asked me to buy a ticket. I asked him to give me a ticket for Babar Lane. The conductor frowned upon me saying, “It is going in the reverse direction, you get down at the next stop and catch another bus.” I was baffled for some time. Then, I alighted from the bus and again waited for the bus going to the Babar Lane.
I got the bus and reached 15, Babar Lane. But surprisingly, when I reached his house, I found the door locked. I was puzzled and thought whether I had come to the right place. After some time, a neighbour of my friend came and asked me, “Why are you standing here? Do you want to meet someone?” I replied, “Yes, I want to see Mr Sudhir living in Quarter No 15.” He immediately quibbled, “But he changed his house last Wednesday and has gone to R K Puram.”
Frustrated, I came back to the bus stop. I was feeling hungry. After some time, it started drizzling. I was now in a fix as to what to do. My confusion was compounded by the torrential rains!p’ had refused to take morning breakfast in the hope that I would take it at my friend’s house. At this state, my anger was mounting. I was cursing myself as well as my fate. But I controlled my anger. I made up my mind to meet Sudhir.
An idea hit my mind. I gave a ring at the Enquiry Office, R K Puram. The person on duty gave me his address. I made my journey to R K Puram and reached the quarter as I was told by the Enquiry

    Sally just shrugged as they were trudging through the muddy, rainy, and crowded streets with wet coats. Everything was obscure, the gutters were filled with dirty water. Their drenched feet and boots whined as they stepped on the cemented sidewalk.Their bodies had gave up on providing heat and presented to the atmosphere’s harsh temperatures. The small droplets upon their face chilled their skin and faintly glowed due to the foggy streetlights. The wind howled and echoed into their ears while the rain pattered down upon the ground .The water flowed down along the sidewalk flooding the drain system. The cars zoomed by so fast that the puddles splashed like a tsunami. With only the streetlights providing illumination along the street, the road…

    The rain came down in a light pitter patter, as I sat on my porch swing with a steaming cup of tea clutched in my hands. A blanket was tucked around my body, preventing the cool air from giving me a chill. The rain washed the cars and houses as it poured down on everything in its path. The smell of the rain only being able to be described as satisfactory as the smell of clean linen sheets. The usually busy neighborhood, being as quiet as a mouse with the exception of the rumbles of the sky. I sat like this all morning, taking in the beauty before it was time for me to go inside and start my day.…

    That night, I creeped out of the temple, and started walking towards the horizon, like my old friend Govinda had done many years ago. I closed my eyes and said to myself Siddhartha you are finally free. When I opened my eyes I came back to reality, and I saw my friend Govinda next to the Buddha, asking me if I will also follow the teachings of the Illustrious One. Which I responded, “Govinda, my friend this lifestyle does not fulfill me, however you are now a man and you can take a step without me be your side.” I turned and walked towards the horizon, I turned and waved my hand at him, but something told me that this time I would see him…

    I was sitting in a restaurant along with my parents. The restaurant was on the first floor and we could see the busy Western Express Highway from the window. I was watching the cars, buses, and trucks speeding by. Just then I saw a bus trying to overtake another bus, but the gap was a bit narrow. The bus driver lost control and his bus hit the divider. It ran on the divider for a few seconds and then to my horror, it overturned. “Oh God,” I shouted. The overturned bus skidded and stopped in the middle of the road. My father too was watching the incident as it happened. He immediately called the Police and Ambulance from his cell phone. Meanwhile a huge rush had gathered near the overturned bus. Luckily there were only a few passengers in the bus who started coming out of the bus from the emergency window one by one. They were all hurt and some of them were bleeding. The public helped them come out of the bus and made them sit on one side.…

    It was a normal raining season back in Nigeria, West Africa, known as summer here in the United States. The month was July and a Tuesday night. I had just finished my evening tutorials along with my other siblings. My mother as usual, prepared a very nice meal “pounded yam and egusi soup” for dinner. We all sat down like any other day on the dinning table and savored what my mum cooked. At about 7:15pm on that normal day, my father told my mum he was going out to see his business partner for a brief meeting. On hearing that, myself and my sibling felt happy because his absent will give us a little more play time before going to bed. He then called on my elder brother Kennedy to open the drive way gate, and instructed him to put the lock on the gate behind him. Kennedy hurriedly and happily ran down stairs and did exactly what my dad had told him to do after the latter drove away on one of his then 1989 Peugeot 505 saloon car. The absent of my dad at that late hour of the night was really fun, because it sure did gave us an extra play time. I in particular was playing card with one of my siblings, while my other sibling and my mother were watching a late night movie on the television. These indeed, were all normal as it conforms to our daily personal and family routine, good or bad.…

    “Tickets please! Ticket? Ticket?” barked the conductor. My mom gripped my hand making sure I would not be rambled with the avalanches of angry, impatient Indians. I looked up and saw the faces of brown in many shades. Some had mustaches and some had bindis. All of them practically raped me to get inside the Malabar Express Train. My dad, in rage, shoved the five tickets at the conductor’s face along with the rest of them. The conductor snatched all of the five tickets and gave one blank stare at me.…
