Ant problem.

I walked into the kitchen, to find dozens of ants crawling over a tiny piece of Bournvita on the counter. "Ugh" I thought. "Irritating little pests". I dampened a kitchen sponge, and wiped the ants away. Then, the thought struck me, since i feel that humans couldn't have been the only ones to evolve, that ants must really have a life of their own. They probably have their own houses, work places and restaurants too! I suddenly thought, what seemed like pest control to me, would actually be NATURAL DISASTERS for ants. The world would be like a battlefield for a couple of ants wouldn't it? Just imagine if a giant kitchen sponge came and wiped you and your friends off the face of the earth? That's what I felt when I wiped away those ants. What there was a "camera ant" who was shooting scenes of the disaster, and showing it on the ant' TV network. I can imagine the headline; "Disaster strikes again. 1,06,078 ants wiped away due to kitchen sponge". I can imagine ants filing thousands and thousands of cases against humans, demanding justice for the grief we have caused them. I am going to try and stop myself from killing ants and other harmless fellows from now on, and i hope you do too.

India! India!

We were all watching, our eyes glued to the T.V. and we were waiting. The opponents inning had just started. They were playing quite well, and had to score 261 runs from 300 balls. We felt that whenever one of us got up and walked away, something good would happen. A wicket for the opponent, or a four, or six for us. It was all very exciting. It felt like the final! We were watching....

BOOM! He whacks the ball and it goes far. The Indian fielder watches. It's coming towards him....it's coming...YESSS!!!! He's CAUGHT IT! We all cheer and scream and yell. Finally, he's out.....

The batsman is batting. He hits the ball, and it flies. Harbhajan Singh gets ready. He catches it, then waves his arms in sheer delight, yelling at the top of his voice.....

Last 10 balls......31 to win...."I think it's possible"....."yeah, if it is, that would be a miracle".......

Last 5 balls.....31 to win.....last TWO balls....it's clear that we have won, but we hold back our yells......He hits it.....HARD... it soars....higher and higher...it stops....and heads down.....Kohli catches......and runs....with a look of pure pride, and I look down and shout......YES!!!!! WE HAVE WON!!!
