A morning
walk can rejuvenate both the body and the mind, but I realised last week that
it could also prove to be entertaining.
I
stepped out on Sharjah’s Al Wahda Street when I noticed a shop cleaner
menacingly waving a broom and trying to crush a cockroach. Every time he
attacked, the insect dodged and eventually rushed onto the footpath.
The
furious cleaner would not give up. His owner was not paying him to spare
creepy-crawlers that intrude into the shop.
One,
two, three..all his attempts missed the target.
Exasperated,
he took a final aim and dashed towards the darting pest, when it happened.
A
cyclist appeared from nowhere, dashed against the “dancing” cleaner and in the
melee the roach made good its escape.
This
wasn’t the only entertainment of the day. When I was returning home, I saw a
man kissing his phone again and again.
“Love
you,” “Love you,” he kept repeating, oblivious of the passers-by watching him.
This
man obviously either lost his heart or his mind.
hahah! both cracked me up!
ReplyDeletehi, I cannot stand cockroach. I too run after them when I spot them. they smell.
ReplyDeleteLol.. Phones have become virtual partners for people now.. Both made me laugh..
ReplyDeleteYa, morning walks can be very entertaining too... and as for cockroaches... the entire species needs to be annihilated. I can see no purpose of their existence except frightening the likes of me.
ReplyDeleteMosquitos, cockroaches do crush our ego when defeated by them.And as they say, 'we all are fools in love'.
ReplyDeleteHahaha.. ! The guy kissing the phone may have opened his payslip ;-)
