So there it goes, second article in seven days! That’s quite
a start. As I type this, I have a big grin on my face. Reason? You will soon
find out. So there I was the other day, in my college canteen, waiting for my
friend. Not that I was waiting for ‘company’ rather I wanted ‘funds’ to fill my
belly which had been making sound for quite some time. A lot of sweet voices,
rude, dull and at times, energetic voices along with different sounds, Oh wait!
That was the sound of laughter, were received by my usually sleepy ears at a
very busy time of the day. I tried my best to scan the faces which I could see,
but all I could see were the ones which they kept in hand, ready to crush,
munch and swallow them. Among one such eatable was the one, which I heard
speaking, it was like ‘Please don’t bite me! And even if you did, make sure you
don’t hurt me, I will make sure I taste good and also healttthhhhyyyy..’ that’s
it, a girl who was holding it, ate it as if she had not seen food in months. I
was sad that I could not hear the last few words of Mr. or is it Miss. Or
whatever that eatable was. So I waited, it was getting crowded and I was dragged
into a place where I never wanted to be, rather I could put it as ‘I was
pushed’. I cursed the crowd, not for pushing me, but for dropping some food on
the floor. Poor fella, I felt sorry for the ones who were dropped on floor as
they were smashed and in turn vanished. The other side of canteen was quite a
scene as I heard something from there too, ‘Dare not touch me dude! Hey you!!
Take your hands off me, I said Back off! All of you. I will tear you down to
pieecessss’ Oh wait! I never told you who spoke these words. These are not
words from a human. Alright! There it is, I hear voice number 2 from the same
species on the same day. But this time, it was seven on one, I mean, seven
persons taking on a single..on a single.. Forget it, I do not remember the
type. But it was still the same family of the one which had succumbed to death
on the hands of a girl, who right now was flooding her belly with water, adding
to the late (whatever)’s misery. After a horrific turn of events, the bell had
rung, break over, chorus of ‘bye’ were heard all around me. I felt really
depressed and lonely. Is it? No!! I felt really hungry and angry that my friend
did not turn up, as I finished talking to myself, I heard a loud voice. There
he was, my friend, my life came running to me as I was prepared to hug him, but
wait! Does not this sound serious? Well actually it wasn’t. As he came running
to me, I did not care about the lack of attendance in that subject which I had
missed after the break, I did not care about the print out which I was about to
take the next hour inspite of being penniless, I really had forgotten about the
printout actually. All because of the joy of the starving belly which I could
sense and then he came, he had run, so he bent down, for few seconds he said
nothing before he exploded saying ‘G! Epo Treat?’.
