Accident

Ambulance Parking: Part 6

The hardest thing I had to do was to carry my dead friend from the accident site to the ambulance and then take him to the hospital and to see him stitched up like a rag doll after the autopsy. I was driving and Sunil was riding the pillion when a truck hit us and we were thrown out, when I recovered my senses I discovered he was dead. I called home as the ambulance and police arrived. I was driving the bike, so it was the guilt and the sadness of loss that till today shakes me from time to time. It all happened ten years ago.

Taking Care of Dogs

Taking care of a dog or dogs, can be quite a demanding task. You need to be able allocate time and effort to give the dog attention, walks, regular feeds and visits to the veterinary surgery. which then leads into the financial costs of having a dog. You need to buy dog supplies, such as food, a basket, a collar and lead, also some toy’s for it to play with when you go out, or if it is left alone, because they will chew the furniture! If you plan on going away for a few day’s or on holiday, then you will need to find somebody to look after it for you, this can be quite a challenge! Hence the need, for dog kennel’s. If you do need to take the dog to the kennel’s, then it will have to have documentation from the vet’s, showing vaccination records.

I enjoy swimming in the sea

I go to swim almost every day to the Carbyn’s Cove to swim with my wife. I love to float on the waves. I like it when hard waves hit me, tumble me and mess me. The water and the surf invigorate me. The salty taste of the sea is nectar to me. Sea and swimming is my therapy. I feel like I am born again every time I am done with my swimming. Tired in a sensual way, I am light like a feather after every swim. At times the sea is absolutely like a swimming pool or a lake. At times it is playful and at times it is angry. I like to swim in all its Avatars.

Older Brother

The funniest thing was when by older brother visited us last October from Japan. He is a sailor and he met my wife for the first time, who told him a lot of Snake stories when I was not at home on the first day. He listened to her diligently and formally as it was their first meeting. And it is true that we have encountered snakes innumerable times on these islands. We have found them inside the house a few times too. This was all told to my brother. On the third day of his arrival, after a tiring day touring places, my brother had more than his usual quota of vodkas and was coming to the dinner table when he screamed so loud in panic, that I panicked and rushed to him. I laughed my guts out because a toy snake which was coiled around the clock had inadvertently fallen on him as he banged the door a little too strongly. He scolded us, caught his breath and laughed with us and asked for another drink.
