That's how he cheated mosquitoes

This is a mixture of fiction and real life incidents happened on one 'fortunate' Saturday.

Characters: Satti, Kiran, Murali, Bhanu, Karthik & me.

Saturday 6PM @ Pushkar ghat

I've lots of common sense but sometimes I choose to ignore... That's why I handed my bike (which is not in good condition) to Satti though we didn't had a good track record today...

Satti, smitten by the beautiful road on the bank of river Godavari, took my bike as if he is receiving the best employee award in his company.

Satti is riding the bike. My friend Murali & myself were sitting behind him (yeah, triple riding :) ). I kept a strict condition that we'll be slowly following my friends so that if they see any traffic constable, they would caution us & Murali could get down. We crossed Markandeswara Swamy temple junction safely and thought that we crossed the barrier. Usually police patroling is more near that junction... Suddenly Satti accelerated the bike and we were going @ 60 on that busy road. As soon as we reach PV Narasimha Rao Park we saw a large gathering. Sensing Police presence, Murali asked Satti to stop the bike. Satti slowly decreased the speed and stopped exactly infront of the constable who is leisurely having a cup of tea... Police saw us and said 'aha! Home delivery' :@ I never saw a police man who is more excited and delghtful than him... Again my wallet lost 100 bucks :(

I told myself that today is definitely not my day.. Just see why


4:40AM (same day) in Gautami Train

I suddenly woke up at 4:40 AM. The train just reached Tadepalligudem station and will take min 1 hr to reach Rajahmundry. So I slept again and so was Satti. I woke up only to realise that we already crossed Rajahmundry. Satti was still sleeping. I woke him up and asked my fellow passenger about the next stop. Fortunately in another 10 mins train stopped in Dwarapudi station and we got down.

We saw the TC standing at the exit gate and we planned to get out from another route. We almost made it if only another TC who was coming exactly opposite to us didn't notice. He smiled at us and saw our tickets. We saw 200 bucks in his sarcastic smile :@

Day started with a bang...

We somehow reached our home only to see the locked door... I thought of giving a surprise visit to my parents and in turn, I got a very big surprise... I called them and came to know that they along with my family friends went to Dwaraka Tirumala and will return on next day morning... But my parents gave the keys to neighbours. With a sigh of relief, I took the keys and freshed myself. I called Kiran and we went to his house. After having a heavy lunch we slept there itself...

Later we started to ISKCON temple on Gautami ghat. I called rest of my friends and we all met at Pushkar ghat at 6'o clock. Here satti took my bike...

7PM@PV Narasimha Rao Park

After giving Rs.100 to constable, we started again and reached the most beautiful ISKCON temple at Gautami ghat. After having Darshan we came to enjoy the scenic beauty of river Godavari. It is a very pleasant place and we were enjoying with nice chat...

Suddenly I realised that I lost my bike keys... I still remembered that Satti gave keys to me but somehow I LOST my keys. After searching for nearly 1 hour, I went to the security in-charge officer. He was playing with some keys which looked like mine. He started scolding me for my recklessness and went on to say that todays youth is behaving irresponsibly. He kept on saying something for the next 15 mins but I ignored everything. After his speech I told him that the keys in his hands were mine. He kept on asking questions as if he is taking my interview for Civil services recruitment. I showed him my identity card & driving license and kept on answering all kinda damn questions he asked. Later he asked 500 bucks. I asked him why... but my friends insisted to give the money. Mahatma Gandhi on Rs.500 note, who is supposed to be smiling, is laughing at me. I unwilling gave him the money and left that place.

10PM@Murali's house

We reached Murali's house and decided to stay there itself. Karthik and Kiran also stayed with us but Bhanu left to his house as he had to attend some programme in the morning.

We went to the river bank which is very near to Murali's house and spend 2 hours sharing the experinces at the work places. We realised that its too late and returned to Murali's house. Kiran switched on the TV. We watched the debate between two senior political leaders on how to curb the increasing prices index. It seemed to be a fight between them rather than a discussion. Karthik took the remote control and kept on changing the channels for next 15 mins. Later everybody decided to watch 'Final Destination' which was being telecasted on Star Movies. It is a wonderful thriller and is based on a concept of death chasing the characters in a sequential order. But finally protogonist succeds in cheating the death and breaks the sequence. After the movie we discussed Sunday's plan. Later we rearranged the furniture to make some space so that we four can sleep. We tried to sleep but mosquitoes decided to give a nightmare... We saw that Allout refill is completely exhausted and there is no chance of getting a new pack at that time. Mosquitoes are striking continously and not letting us have a peaceful sleep. It seems there is an SLA (service level agreement) to be met by the mosquitoes. Then Satti came to the rescue. He took the all out machine and went inside & returned back with a refilled one. Everybody is surprised because nobody understood from where he brought that pack and on asking he didn't say anything. He connected it to the plug point and we thought we can sleep peacefully. But after 5 mins again mosquitoes started doing what they are at best. Nobody understood why mosquitoes are keep on coming even when we kept the mosquito repellent. Kiran cursed the TV ads where they show the machine killing the mosquitoes. After 10 mins, Satti got up and told us that he thought of cheating the mosquitoes and filled the pack with water :O

I fainted...
