aaaahhhh!

February 3, 2008

Dusk it was. After a satisfactory throw-ball win(yeah yeah I know I could have done without mentioning this, but we won in two straight sets! Don’t bother to ask against whom ;) ), when I opened my room door, I saw something on my bed move towards the window. Something big! As big as a mouse!

What did I do? – Scream. (whatelse!)

Priyanshu came running though the corridor to inquire about the shout out, while the mouse dived into my cupboard. She fetched a long broom, and both of us jumped over my bed. I tried to prod the mouse with the broom. It attempted to move out of the cupboard,

What did I do? Scream. (Priyanshu didn’t!)

It went in again. It wasn’t our cup of tea. We knew. we had to call someone. Charvi stood miles away from the hallway yelling something that sounded like-I am not going to come to your room now! :P …(Mine happens to be the second last room :D :P ).

Indupriya’s name was suggested. She showed up almost instantly. Must admit – The girl’s got some guts! While she tried poking the mouse out of my room, I kept jumping frantically on my bed screaming even louder everytime I saw the tiny creature move around. When it went inside the bathroom we decided upon removing the file-holder and the stand out of my room. When I knocked on my neighbour’s door she simply wouldn’t let me in! She thought that the mouse was inside the holder and that I was trying to force my way into her room to let it loose!(Why,Why would i do that!) .

Finally, after all the poking and prodding the mouse scuttled out of my room into the dustbin near corner of the hallway. We couldn’t leave it there. Two more nudges and it jumped on to the window grills. Sunanda was all game for pushing it out!(Murderous instincts :P Apparently the mouse had shown up in her room as well :) ). As the mouse moved to the other side of the window, someone(Don’t remember who) closed the window. Peace!

Now after all this, I know you wouldn’t believe if I told you that I was the one to shoo away a mouse from Charvi’s room. But I have my justifications! In her room it was a small innocent mouse that did not perform aerobatics like this one! Seriously!

PS0: All this on the third floor! I wonder what the situation on the other floors is.

PS1: I initially thought of naming the post  ‘The Mouse hunt! . But all my posts, so far, begin with an ‘a’ . This one in league with them.

PS2: When we were discussing the thing over dinner Ankita said that she did hear me scream but thought that I was doing it for just for fun! (Why,why would I do that!)

PS3:I am not going to take these personality quizzes on face-book. Keeps giving results that say I am a nerd and my choices are nerdy!

PS4: If rats belonged to a party, Congress specifically then what would they be called? congrats? :D

  • 9. akshita  |  February 4, 2008 at 11:41 am

  • 10. harsh  |  February 4, 2008 at 12:50 pm

    no one is thinking about the poor mouse.

  • 11. ZenW  |  February 4, 2008 at 3:07 pm

    Somebody please call PETA :P

  • 12. Priyanshu  |  February 4, 2008 at 3:11 pm

    Congrats for the Cong-Rats :P good one..
    Besides, you were the last one whom i could have expected to scream like that on seeing a rat( considering your calm at the sight of the rats of almost double the size, on the ground floor and yeeaaaahhhh…. how could i forget.. reaction to the giant lizard couple in my room :P )

  • 13. Anshul  |  February 4, 2008 at 3:47 pm

    yeah.. we wont believe that you shooed away a small mouse from Charvi’s room after all this “aaaahhhhh!!” :P
    Cong-rats for the triumph!!
    BTW u should disclose the name of the person who closed the window. “She” is the real winner!! :P

  • 14. aakankshasingh  |  February 4, 2008 at 5:36 pm

    @ankit: I did not want to give away my post content with the title. That was another reason for not naming it -mouse hunt (preceded by either of the determiners). And yeah Bharat(pronounced as bhaarat) would better suit BJP :P (Yeah I am pro-BJP)
    @Anshul: It was Sunanda who closed the window.

    After hearing/reading more than zillion tales of GH being “ATTACKED” by Rats/Lizards, you people can come up with a collection of your experiences. I can RAT-ify(Had to keep this word somewhere) that it will be a doozer success.

  • 16. Raina  |  February 5, 2008 at 4:12 am

    Hey…I was lucky enough to have heard about this from the horses’ mouths soon after this took place. And all of you were visibly thrilled. Wonder why you kept insisting the mouse was forced into a suicide by Sunanda :) I gave u my reasons for not believing that one :)

  • 17. Jadu  |  February 5, 2008 at 7:37 am

    ” Gabbar : Hmmmm…. Kitne ‘Choohe’ the?
    Kaliya: sardar.. ek.
    Gabbar: hmmm.. EK ‘Chooha’ ? …. woh Ek the aur tum * (?)
    .. phir bhi Dar gaye … ! ;)
    Arre O Saambha…

  • 18. aakankshasingh  |  February 5, 2008 at 8:07 am

    @Raina: Hey i am sorry if I have miscommunicated. We did not kill the mouse! It was locked out and I am sure it must have found a way out.
    And yeah, you know when i came out of my room to fill water(after about half an hour or so) I just realized that someone had re-opened the window! That kindav makes me even surer that the mouse IS ALIVE :)

  • 19. Raina  |  February 6, 2008 at 6:18 am

    Light!!..Even if u had killed it, it would have been okay. I mean, I am no Meneka Gandhi :D
