Dumb - Dumb - Dumb - STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPID ME - but then I love me too he he he

For every Action there is an equal and opposite Reaction - Damn Newton

As a kid I used to test out every theory defined by the physicists - (to me Physics was
the dumbest of all subjects - and the teacher the dumber (simple reason - I could never understand the subject)

However, testing those theories were always fascinating.  The most exciting was Newton's III Law - For Every Action there is an Equal and Opposite Reaction  and the simple reason again was I disproved it time and again. May be I did - May be I did not- who knows  - as long as the apple landed on someone else's head that is all that I cared - but the trouble is -  it did not and always fell on my @#%*~!^ head!!!!!!!

Dropped a peanut on a hippopotamus to see its reaction . The Big hippo went on munching the grass -  The only reaction was getting cussed out by the zoo keeper's mallu gaalis.

Teased my country cousins (those with the long tails) at the zoo while wearing my uncle's sunglasses (he had enstrusted the pair to my care) Stepped close the cage and zzzzziiiip the glasses were gone. My cousins pretty much bent the frame to new shapes and played with the lenses.  We did not have to visit the Zebras in the zoo - I had the stripes on me behind from my Uncles palms.

Made a paper plane, lit its tail and flew it in the house - a bunch of my grandad's books went up in flames, along with part of a mahogany Almirah   -  my ears and behind  were scorched from multiple pairs of hands.

Stepped on my neighbour's dhoti, which was sweeping the floor, as he was walking  - fun to  to see a middle aged man in a striped underpants in the middle of the street on a busy evening.  Funnier still for my parents who enjoyed the sight of the man's hands practicing tabla on my behind with all the force he could muster.

From top of the mango tree in my grandma's home - could not hold back -  and sprinkled water not of the holy kind - wonderful sight till it landed on my grand aunt who picking fallen mangoes from the ground- Did not come down the tree for six hours and then when I did - had to dip by butt in the cool waters of the pond from the scorching whacks I got from her.

 My friend and I tied a small block of salt on a string and placed in on the lips of my neighbour who was snoring away on a mat in the verandah.Could never figure out why anyone would not want to use a pillow. It was funny to see him lick his lips and then - we slowly raised the string and you will not believe it - he raised his head  -while still sleeping, reaching out with his tongue for the salt and then he fell back and bonked his head on floor - went home with little bumps on our heads from his knuckles.

Friend's dad had a box of colored bulbs in his garage.  He took one out to look at it against the light .  It slipped from his fingers, fell on the concrete floor and exploded with a nice pop.  Took the whole box out to the backyard and threw the bulbs one after another on the garden wall.  Had a nice diwali.  There were more powerful diwali explosioins on our behinds after our parents came to know about our mini diwali.

Asked my friend to give a letter I wrote to his sister (puppy love) he never talked to me for a year and neither did she.

Saw this elephant while waiting with my parents and uncles and aunt's at the bus stop when I was four.  Asked in a loud voice why the elephant had five legs - embarrassed looks from everyone and then loud laughter (pssst THE ELEPHANT WAS A MALE)
