The Attack!!

Yeah we are. All was well till October. That was when we shifted to our new house. no one had the faintest idea whats in store for us. Everything was normal for first few days. We all enjoyed staying in our new house exception being frequent power problems in the morning hours. That is the time everyone is in hurry to get ready and head to office. Low voltage and our geyser not responding to our urgency ended up us being ready to take bath in cold water. But we thought it is too much to compromise bathing in warm water. There came the idea. GAS!. We hardly used to cook. So we found a way to use the gas stove . Get the water heated using gas stove. The risk was always involved regarding what we would do when gas is over and it would take sometime to get new cylinder. But for the time being the problem was solved. but there was more to come. To watch India play the world cup we got a Tuner card and cable connection to our house. Those were the days we were very happy. Carrom board to play ( to turn the switch as Raghu mama calls it )TV for time pass ( yeah once TV was there Carrom was gone ). Maid to clean the house and wash our clothes.

The day was about to come.

Off late Kummi started complaining about something biting him . Thought that would be some red ant we ignored the same. Perhaps that was a big mistake on our part. We were soon to discover that there was something more ( bigger??) than that. When i was told that i could not believe. All these days i believed that was extinct as i did not see it till now. Then i saw that. One fine day Balchigi called me and showed it to me. That was alive and i am seeing it for the first time. Was 'thrilled' to see living 'Bed Bug' right in the house where we are living. After killing it thought it was over.

Things got worse when they started to emerge out from our bags and shirts in our office. Once kummi's colleague saw it on kummi's shirt and some other time it was raghu mama's turn to face the embrassment. Frustrated by this kummi declared all out attack war on those. One of the room in our house was decorated with dead bodies of the bed bugs. All the credit goes the great bed bug hunter kummi. Should get bravery award. Seeing that i remembered movie 300 where few Spartans resist millions of Persian soldiers. kummi is our Leonidas. I too got my chances to kill some. Especially when some got in my bag and started to come out in office. I had to kill the bugs secretly and was successful in that without letting any of our colleague's know about that. Vinnyk accepted that he hides the bag once he takes that to office fearing anyone would see our brothers ( they have shared our blood now ). Even one complete CAN of bug killer spray did not help us. Felt sorry for raghu mama when he got hit on his leg by belt buckle when he was attempting to get rid of possible bug's from his pants before wearing it.

We bought one more CAN of bug killer spray but soon we had to use that for one more attack. This time it was ants. That day after coming back from office saw our house's floor was filled with ants. No body's bed was spared. We had to clean each and every inch of carpet area in our house and soak that with the spray to sleep happily amidst fragrance of the bug spray. The latest is that raghu mama found bug's nest in the books vinnyk had collected with many eggs. They had to face raghu mama's fury. A litre of bug spray was poured on them. And as of now it is not over yet. Here we are with our eyes open in search of any bug. Now we have challenged them to come out in the open if they dare!!!!!!

One of my friends wanted to buy a new mobile. We went to mobile shop, selected a mobile and asked for the price. shopkeeper said the price of the model. My friend seemingly alarmed said the price is too high and others are giving it for less. The shop keeper asked who is giving that mobile for less price. My friend's reply "need to check".
