Aala.... this was very well-written... loved it... and as somebody has already commented earlier, the line "bladder starts confusing itself...." had me laughing hysterically...

very imaginative and very "profound" indeed ;)

Someone seems diving in the depths of his imaginations, enjoying unrestricted full swing, crossing all barricades which quite often daunt with open arms, exploring forward steps that got fabulously paved in a narrow sharply aligned and concentrated way as the thoughts proceeded. Excellent Man, Hands up to appreciate. Keep it up!!!

WOW......an amazing piece of written work...which kept me hooked from the starter to the plenary.

I had given up my passion of reading due to the fact my work entails reading, reading and more reading……Shobig……you have revived my enthusiasm for reading once again!!!

A man of talents………..Please keep writing more!!!

Hallo... nice one! I fear the dark and the light sometimes at the same instant, then I convince myself that the little spider, ant, lizard, whatever, is more afraid of me than I am of it. Makes me feel better. So instead of a desi chappal or sandal, I find a way to get the bug off the wall and out my front door into the yard. BUT... sometimes I think, what if the significant other is still lurking? Oh no...

Big Shoe you are a man with a big soul and big words (er..we`ll avoid the other obvious ``big`` comments for now). But very well written - I liked it very much and the dog sends his regards too.

hey big shoe!
very very very refreshing!! good one yaar!!

``as if I had always been keen to be this close to an eight-legged freak! (Not to mention, I have had closer encounters with two-legged freaks innumerable times!!) `` - i suppose reference to your chinease housemate!

``I once ran naked straight out of the bath into the street`` - what a mystical sight! dread the thought of it, but the possiblity does lie there!

``So I sneaked out of my bed, as smoothly as I could, so as not to unveil my intentions to the unfortunate brute`` - and i hope you never used such language to describe your future wife as you would find yourself squashed beneath the bata chappal!

Boss,

Loved your self-deprecating humour, made my weekend!

Your target practice reminded me of a similar obsession we had been sucked into a couple of years back. Never short on the innovation front, our blokes added many improvisations to the seemingly boring game of darts. There was speed darting - three or four people standing behind each other, shooting the dart and making way for the one behind, as quickly as possible. Then there was power dart, desire to split the board wide open prevailing over accuracy. I never participated in the blindfolded darting...pockmarks on the door that was 3 ft from the board indicated it must have been `adventurous`.

Shobig - so you see a creepy 8 legged critter staring you right in the face, and your scientific mind starts fathoming the ``deeper`` meanings of that spider?! my first instinct would have been to let loose my bladder right there.

i can only wonder with amazement what you would do on your wedding night. i hope you get right down to business, instead of looking for scientific or metaphysical meanings in what sprawls on your bed.

Nice and pleasant read. A refreshing change from the typical pseudo-scholarly blabber that typically adorns the front page.

Shobie - isnt it amazing how much a science nerd can share with a lit nerd? i`d have thought you lot were all used to creepy crawlies and cutting em open and observing their breakfast with interest... instead, it appears you just squish em much like the rest of us. hmmmm.

anyhoo... enjoyable read... keep `em coming!
