Look
Before You Throw
I was already late for work one day so I was hurrying down the
stairs at my house. No sooner had I reached the ground floor
when suddenly, from nowhere, a banana peel hit me! I was totally
surprised. When my eyes met the offender's I couldn't help but
smile. He was a cute little boy and he was still holding on
to the freshly peeled banana. The child’s mother was standing
just beside him and she had been watching the whole episode.
She was embarrassed and was scolding the child. "You shouldn't
be that careless. You are in school now". I was glad to
hear the mother teach her son to behave properly. I carefully
picked up the peel and put it where it belonged -- in the dustbin.

A
New Twist in
Mugging
I
was returning home, as usual, from my coaching and got on a
rickshaw from one end of Biswa Road. After some time when we
had reached a secluded part of the road, something fell from
the rickshaw. The rickshaw puller got down from the rickshaw
and picked up the item and was busy looking at it. Curious,
I asked the rickshaw puller what it was. Without saying anything,
he gave me something covered with a piece of cloth. The moment
I took it, I lost consciousness. It must have been some sort
of chloroform. Even though I was awake and could see what was
happening, I could not stop him from taking my money, my chain
and rings. He made me get on another rickshaw. After quite a
while, I became fully alert again but it was too late. I would
like others who read this to please be cautious about such incidents.

Enforcer becomes Law Breaker
One
Wednesday, I was on my way back from New Market when I was stuck
in a 'mini-jam' in front of the Sankar bus stand. I was looking
annoyed because there was a lot of pollution around from all
the automobile fumes. I was startled to see a policeman riding
his motorbike on the side walk. What was even more astonishing
was the fact that he was going in the wrong direction, against
the flow of traffic. The puzzled pedestrians reluctantly moved
aside to give the sergeant room to pass by. If this is how law
enforcers behave, I wonder what the lawbreakers will do.
