Let it be

You dont necceserialy have to say a word to get a F.M.S. Actions speak louder.

It happened 10 days ago...

I used to argue with my friend Raju about how our little daily acts can help build society.If everyone did his own part, we were going to make a huge difference.

So we were 'jaywalking' once on a busy Deccan Road when I saw a bike which had fallen down and I suggested we stop and pick it up.Raju gave me a dissapproving glance , but even he knew I was going to pick it up.I picked it up with great difficulty and following were the excerpts..

"Raju , hmmm...I need help"

"What now ? Put it on stand. The 'owner' will thank you for it."

"Ahem...(cough..cough)...I would have put it , but thankful owner's bike doesnt have a stand."

(Raju's victorious smile!!)

(Why did this have to happen in front of Raju...damn it!!...lets try putting it down.)

(WIDER victorious smile!!)


After I placed the bike down , I suggested that we run away.

"Why?"

"Well...ahem...hmm...I.. mite....I mite have broken the...tht..indicator...RUN!!"


Thats just half of it, the indicator broke against the adjoining bike's indicator.

Well, Since then 'picking up bikes' is out of the list.So much for social service.

P.S. - There is a possibility that someone might claim that it was his/her bike taking advantage of my nice nature.Forget the compensation...If you are not muscular I mite just kick ur a@# and make you buy a stand. Otherwise...ahem...I'll pay.

P.P.S. - This would be an intresting case for U.S.litigation.Who is to be blamed for the damage?
