Arachnophobia Vs. Nyctophobia

Like Archimedes, I once ran naked straight out of the bath into the street; the reason for this............has to be `cause you live in Karachi, the city notorious for power outages.

The title may be considered intriguing by some – but might also be a turn-off for people like me who don’t use words like THAT!

It reads decent. I think you could have made it a little shorter.

[ … when the bladder starts confusing itself with the heart,…]
To pee or not to pee, then becomes the question. Did he or didn’t he – shall forever a mystery remain! (Or did the problem resolve itself spontaneously as soon as the hairy-legged creature showed up?)

vaddi...
this wasn`t meant for humor impaired...as is evident here...specially indians making fun of power outage...what`s the adage... kettle and pot thingy...;)

big shoe, I`m flummoxed by all the big words you used. Well done on making it to the FP, or is it coming back?

BigShoe:

`Electrica` you might be screaming at top of your lungs when power went off. Well after studying Archimedis Principle in 8th Grade I used to be in bath tub more in delight to observe weight loss by byonic forces caused by displacement of water.

Well,

``Machar ko Toap say Maro phir bhi nahi marta Sala.``

And lastly

It is not clever to recklessly use supply of widely oriented landscape to katha minor phobias following right from childhood.
However the shadows, scary shock of Power off, unconscious belief of inscests crawling nearby are hard ridden off irrational fears of life.
Anyways,
This article is more of a Hard Task to recollect the amazements, aversions,anxieties your brain is processing and encountering .

``But last night was one of those when the bladder starts confusing itself with the heart``

This single line weighs heavier than the rest of the article.

Shoe Big! You are very similar to Azure in your writing style. May be, UAE background has made it similar. Good work. I really liked reading this article.

This was funny. Kind of cute and naughty.

..... hmmmmm... profound!! ;)

Thankyou all, Charlie, Khamy, Drlokraj, nb, naushee for your words of appreciation and comments. They are a huge source of encouragement, since this is my firstever (publish-worthy!!) attempt at writing on any public forum, and I thought humour would be just right to start with.

#1 wasn`t that supposed to be a secret cayenne? ;)

#2 BeeJay, your input is cherishable indeed, thanks.

#5 Nadia, it is always interesting to see how many intended and unintended connnotations can be derived from a word, a sentence or a whole article. I wrote it as a bit of pure light humour only, nothing else was called for, but the way you have deciphered it certainly opens up a whole new perspective for the article and adds to the credibility of it. Thanks a lot.

Oooh….eight-legged freak indeed!! I keep a can of raid in my room within easy reach, and if that doesn’t work, then there’s always the trusted ``slipper hurled at point blank range`` remedy…..never fails! The little ugly things! Eew, Eeew, and Eeeew! ;)

Nice read.

hey, cool article / account.

So glad i`m not the only one to see further than the surface, and shadows in the night!

I encountered an almost immortal spider once, in a similar situation to yours.................

One advantage of facing such phobic episodes with in the confines of bathrooms is that no body knows where the spill came from

It recalled me once a iguana had a ride of my feet in my bathroom.
