This happened all in one day. It’s very interesting to feel this way but now I feel like a true Indian.
Well as you people know that I stay in Bangalore .This is about my various encounters with the BMTC, the public bus transport in Bangalore.
It all the started normally. In the morning we, meaning my mom and I, had planned to go to my newly constructed house .We got in the bus from a stop the bus makes near our house .We reached the main Banashankari Depot from where we had to catch a bus to Marathahalli. We saw a bus filled with people but no driver. With the hope that the driver would arrive in a few minutes, we entered the bus. We waited and waited .During this time we saw beggars asking for money and some charity people coming up to people and asking them for money. Like the usual Indian style. Just after all the money lending menace was over , we saw a bus just starting up to go to the same place we wanted to go .So we did what every common person would have done, hop out of the bus we were sitting in and jump into the bus which was in the background right now. Getting in the bus, we sat on our seat. The bus was filled with people but it wasn't that full. Well after going for about 20 minutes, we reached a traffic jam at "Silk Board”. It was always expected at that place .The bus since then was moving slower than a tortoise .It was like stop for a minute and move for 15 seconds. So the stop and start wasn't allowing me to sleep also. So what I suggested to my mom was to walk till the place where most of Marathahalli bus comes and catch a different bus from there. But by now, my mom didn’t want to get up and was arrogant on not leaving. By this moment, the jam was almost over and we had crossed it by bus only. The bus from there onwards was going slow but it was better than the tortoise walk . Reaching Marathahalli we took another bus to the stop near our construction place. My mom stopped on a stop and I got down at the next stop .This was just a experiment to check whether the distance was same from both the stops.
No problem up till now. We then went to the construction site and did the necessary jobs.
After that, I had to go for my computer classes and mom had to go home. I could have left my mom back but I went with her to the place where she could catch a bus to home. She left for the bus and I took a bus to a place called Domblur . Getting in the bus to Domblur was difficult because there were only a few going that direction. Well after getting in the bus and reaching the destination, I had to walk to another place. Up till now I hadn't eaten much but my stomach was controlling my hunger.
Waiting for a Bus to Indra Nagar (where my classes were held) was an irritating. It was lunch time .All busses were coming there and stopping without continuing to go forward . This was their last stop. I was waiting and waiting, killing flies. I just got irritated by the busses and their drivers. I asked one of the conductors when's the next bus to Indra Nagar , he told me that there wasn't any specific timings and every bus leaving for that place was surly going to Indra Nagar . So my task was cut out for me. It was just to find a god damn bus that was going in that direction. Several busses came in and stopped there .None going forward because it was their relieving time that time. Waiting for about half an hour, a bus suddenly decided to move. Everyone rushed like a bull stampede to the bus. I got in the bus and luckily I was quick enough to get a seat. The bus took again another five minutes to start, but I was glad it started, becuase I was already late for my class and I dint want to be even later.
As I was new to Indra Nagar, I was confused to where to get down. I asked a few people and they guided me pretty well .I must thank them a lot because for one reason is that it got me to the correct place and leaving that , its very hard to find people telling the right directions. After getting down at that stop, I saw a shop selling pens and I wanted one. I went to buy and then I saw a restaurant. I couldn’t control my hunger and got a plate of Pori Kurma to eat for so called lunch .After doing so, I got into my senses and started running to my classes. That day the teacher told me to practice the practical stuff, so I was lucky not to miss any important lessons .After class I went back the way I came to the place. Getting to the bus stop was a little madness but a it was okay because I walked so much for a day and was tired of walking more.
After reaching this stop, I asked some one how to get to Banashankari because I wanted to go home .The guy told me that just now a bus went and he didn’t know when the next one would come.
As I normally do, I waited. I waited and waited and the crowd me became more and more .Suddenly a bus comes. But it isn’t the bus I wanted .A few of the buses passed me but I either wanted to go the way I wanted to go. Suddenly a bus appears out of no where and it’s the bus I wanted to get in. The crowd which grew more and more went into this bus. The bus suddenly started its engines and I got sacred and held one of the stands. Hanging my way for sometime like that, I was in a way trilled by the experience. But after a few moments I got pulled myself in the bus. I got a place to stand and made myself comfortable with the bus still filled with people and searching each other up. I survived until the crowd decreased and luckily I snatched a seat from a guy and sat there comfortably. The whole part of this trip was like the best. The bus was filled with people and some were standing also. I felt caring for some of them but then though t to myself that if I have to survive I have to do what’s right for me and not for others. Playing games on my mobile and listening to songs were mostly what I did the whole time until I overheard two people talking about cartoons and in what software they were made. I was curios about what they were talking about interfered. I asked them whether they were animators’ and luckily I guessed right. We talked about some stuff like what they had done and what they were for. They had done selective study and selected their subject by themselves and now they were working for logx as web designers. By the time I had reached banashankari and then one of them, Nagaraj , gave me his number . I thanked them for the information and then stared searching for my bus.
Again as usual I waited and waited for the bus and again as usual there was a huge crowd. The busses never came on time and I went to search for them at different places. My efforts went to vain but when I returned there was a bus which would stop near my current house. The crowd was less at the ground but i found out that hey were transferred to the bus I was in. Again the same situation except this time I was royally crushed and on top of that the conductor moving up and down collecting ticket was walking on my poor foot. I couldn’t see where we were and I thought I would get lost at that moment. The crowd started to decrease and I found out that the next stop was where i had to get down. And so I did .Getting down on the right moment and went directly into my house drank fresh good water and did my daily routines.
After today I know how tough it is going around big cities around crowded bunch of people and of course not being picking pocketed. Today for me surviving in the bus was like survival of the fittest. I will so always remember this day even though its not because of any special occasion .Its just because of the first time this has happened.

Apollo Madness
I joined a Java Tech Course in a computer institute called Apollo. According to what I signed up for, I was supposed to start my course on 15th of June.
This is where the entire problem starts.
I go there on June 15th, Friday. The teacher herself wasn't to be found. I asked them for a reason and they tell me that the executives have called for a sudden meeting and so the teacher's wasn't available on that day and the main lady told me that my course would start on June 19, Monday.
At this time , I believed them.
Having nothing to do in the days between , I just roamed around, walking on the streets .
Then Monday, I go there and again the teacher required is not to be found. This time the main lady tells me that the teacher has been admitted in the hospital as she is not feeling well that is why she can't take the class today. The main lady tells me she would be back on Wednesday.
Again I had believe them again. Going till there is waste of money and energy unless those teachers come.
My mom returned from the village on Tuesday. Listening to the past tales , she got angry and frustrated by them. So that day, I and my mom go to the institute .We wait till the main lady comes and we blasted her .She kept on giving the excuse that this was the first time and it would never happen again.
The next day, Wednesday, the main lady makes sure that there was a teacher there to attend to me. The first few days that sir kept doing C++ to make me understand Object Oriented Programming (OOP) even though C++ is partial OOP .Up till Saturday we did that. The classes were good.
Sunday is as regular a holiday .
Subsequent Monday, I went there .Another teacher was introduced to me .This teacher started dictating what she had written in her book and then did some programs on her white board . At the end of the speed class she had taken, I asked her a doubt, her reply was that it was written in the book like that. After pestering her for 2 or 3 minutes , I gave up because she couldn't understand what I was trying to say and I couldn't understand what she was trying to say and at the end I dint understand a thing. After the so called theory class, I did the programs the teacher gave. I finished it quickly and didn’t know what to do . I tried different ways and then got bored and left from the place .The teacher told me that I would be assigned a new teacher the next day.
The next day, Tuesday, the new teacher is again not to be found. They again tell me the same reason they tell at the start of the problem, that is, there is a meeting and it is'nt possible for the teacher to attend to me and the stand by teacher has again gone to the hospital. I had to digest what they told but I know they are lieing because in a week how many times can you have a meeting. She told she would definitely come on Wednesday.
Now if the teacher doesn’t appear on Wednesday again, the main lady will continue to tell lies but this time I won't accept it .I would scream , yell and keep shouting at her until she does something useful , that is , call the teacher at that time or give me my money back .
This is where the entire problem starts.

Rain , Rain all round .
"Rain Rain, go away, little Johnny wants to play, come again another day.”
This is famous nursery rhyme which will be heard from many South Indian people.
The monsoon this year has hit early than expected and due to that many have suffered.
Even though I am staying in Bangalore where it hasn't affected much, I am still concerned about those people who have suffered .The rain has hit badly in the area's of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala .The situation in these places would be very bad and very harmful .Houses broken by the rain and wind, streets flooded by the water, no drainage working, no fresh water available .These are the effects of the disastrous rains .Viral fever will surly be running though everybody’s bodies by now.
The rivers will be another dangerous area and the beach line would be one of the deadliest places to be as the waters in the rivers are going above the danger mark and the sea water is still going rough on all the beaches and coastal areas.
At least this is a sign for taking precautions for the future. Precautions like a back up plan or some thing. Well after seeing all the news reports, I am doing that now.
My condolences to the families of the deceased and wish them all the best in their future endeavors’.

Parents Please take care of your Children
The Times Of India , 22 June 2007 , Friday
Oh boy! Barely 2 and on the run from police
Bhuvaneshwar Prasad TNN
Katihar (Bihar): First it was an eightyear-old who was marched into a courtroom to face charges of murdering three children. Then a six-year-old was accused of sexual abuse. Just when you think crime can’t get any younger comes the case of a two-year-old boy in Bihar who’s been charged with rioting and even firing at the police. He faces arrest and has been asked to surrender. Raj Kumar, son of Raju Jha of Nababganj village in Katihar district, has been charged with firing at police and has an arrest warrant out for him. A case has been registered under IPC’s Sections 307 (attempt to murder), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 349 (using force) and 34 (common intent). This is what happened. The Manihari police lodged an FIR on Jan 30 against a dozen people, including the child, charging them with attempted murder and rioting after a clash between two groups during a Muharram procession. Police had to open fire to break up the mob. Fearing police reprisal and arrest of their son, the parents are said to have fled the village and are on the run. Katihar SP Anil Kishore Yadav told TOI he had ordered his deputy to get details of the warrant against the twoyear-old, saying he couldn’t do anything to revoke the order until he received a full report. Manihari’s station officer-incharge couldn’t be contacted despite several attempts. A senior lawyer poohpoohed the SP’s defence that he was not competent enough to delete the child’s name. Other ‘infant crime’ Three-month-old charged under the Arms Act in Muzaffarpur district Rani Kumar, 2, charged with attacking police party that went to arrest her father Five-year-old Santosh accused in a dowry case. He was allegedly harassing his sister-in-law for dowry .
My comments - Sorry but I couldn’t get the link of this article , but I felt it was freaky article that I had to show .The reason behind this fiasco may be because it's taken place in Bihar(no-offence to Bihari readers),but such a small kid holds a gun and ,god dammed , shoots at the policemen out of all people . I just posted it cause I felt shocked after reading this article.

" Nothing Lasts For Ever " - Sidney Sheldon
And the madness continuous. Another Sidney Sheldon book. Well , this book wasn’t up to my expectation because maybe is mostly too much female oriented .Well almost all Sidney Sheldon books are female oriented , but this one dint have that much crime or not much thrilling parts in except the court case . It was almost like a proper journal on three lady doctors who entered the practice when male doctors dominated the stream. It’s a bit okay about the court case, the betrayal parts and the mafia parts; otherwise it’s just a drag. But after reading this book I am not discouraged in reading Sidney Sheldon’s other books, to tell the truth, I just bought 3 more of his books today.
"The Best Laid Plans" - Sidney Sheldon
The Official Summary
Well this is another thrilling book by Sidney Sheldon .God only knows why I am stuck to his books but I must admit its always awesome .Same goes to this one to. A great script with great language .The story is good but the end is a bit confusing as even I don’t know what particularly happens to Leslie Stewart , the main lady is this book .Leaving the end , the whole writing is nicely brought out by Sidney Sheldon especially the rotating of the scenes between the characters , no specialized importance is given to any character .I was just stuck to finishing this book that when I was on my way back from my institute to my house , I was holding and reading the book the whole time , in the bus and while walking .

What am I doing lately ?
1. Joined a Java Tech Course in Apollo: Well, I had joined the course which was supposed to start on Friday June 15 but ended up starting on Wednesday June 20. The reason was simple to tell by the institute that there were no faculty available because their present Java teacher has been hospitalized .It started on Wednesday thankfully to the blasting my mom gave them since they hadn’t start their class on date . The teacher at the institute is a very friendly guy .He originates from Madras, so his English wasn’t that fluent, but whatever he said I could understand because it was not that much fluent, it was only a bit degraded. I am his only student during this time, so I have a lot attention. He plans to do C++ until Saturday and then from Monday onwards start with the core Java.
2. Reading Books: My craze for Sidney Sheldon books still is on me. When ever I buy a book, my first choice would be a Sidney Sheldon book .I don’t understand the theory or practical of this to happen to me but its happening. Just today I finished reading his book "The Best Laid Plans" .I was so interested in finishing the book that I was continuously reading the book as I was walking back home . Now both the books are over. My mom says she wont buy anymore .God knows what am I going to do.
3. Blogging and reporting: Now a days I normally sleep at 2 midnight .The reason is that I have to complete my daily chores, that is, blogging on this blogspot and writing as much as I can about my recent Saar Pass trek to my dad. Now my brother has entrusted me with more chores, to make a site and maintain it. He says that all the chores can be completed for 15 minutes but he doesn’t realize that it takes me more than 2 hours to finish the so without any interptution.
Up till now the blogging part has been going on nicely and hope it does in the future also .I hope to finish and accomplish my other chores also but many don’t seem to get completed
4.Watching Movies : I know , I know , that movies are bad for health and it makes me a couch potato but what to do .I am so addicted to it that I cant leave it just like that .At least I make it a point to blog on any one film that I have seen in the previous week . Recently just finished watching the LOTR :Fellowship of the Ring , just day before yesterday and it was quite thrilling . I am looking forward to see the rest of the parts also.
5.Eat and Sleeping and Computer :Eating is my one and only favorite hobby that I don’t think I can lose .When your see that I am not doing one of the above then I will be wither sleeping or eating or on the computer browsing through some site which also include orkut and facebook .
This is what I do normally, unless or until there is some other plans for the day decided by my higher authorities.
Live and Let Live.

Another attraction in land of wonder
My Comments - The article was written in the editorial of the Gulf News, a daily newspaper in U.A.E .
Reading this editorial ,I was quite amazed at how quickly the city is making news for themselves.They are building their reputation in a different style .Dubai was once a desert filled with sand dunes and bounty of sand.Now they have that sand into a pure Hi-Tech city .When I was born my father used to tell me that the tallest building in the place was The World Trade Center . Now that same building is one of the shortest in that road. In just a gap of 15 years, Dubai has crossed limits like no other city .They have been quick in their decision making and once a decision is made, the necessary should be done so ,that to within its deadline. When I was returning from there I was just remembering the places I visited in the last few years. The place is ultimately changed from nothing to everything. Some of their creation is man made islands which can be seen from the moon , ski resort in a shopping mall , 7 start hotel situated in the middle of the sea . They future projects are enormous like Burj Dubai (The tallest building on Earth) , Dubai land, this place consists of a Dino land, a fantasy place bigger than Disney land, Sports Land and many more creations .Even though all of the above are artificially made, they still should be appreciated because all these facilities are located where once water was impossible to find .Right now I have left Dubai for education purposes but I have every intention to return back there and stay there leading a successful life.

Bangalore Roads and it travellers
I have recently shifted from Dubai to Bangalore and I suddenly was amazed of the way people go around on roads here.
The policy in Bangalore is Let go or you only on. In a few words it’s just that much. The driver are harsh aggressive and don’t allow a chance for a friendly environment. The major problem comes in here is the people's thinking .This is mostly corrupted by the bad road designing in Bangalore. Even if it is one of the most popular places in the whole world, it still lacks the decency to be in that category. Traveling in the bus is a very convenient and most common way of travel .But if the bus is full of people ,there will still be a traffic jam some place or another .
Some of the main reasons are
a) No strict rules: The rules which are adapted by the police or any higher authority are never accepted by the people of the place, the people do whatever they want. Even the fines which the government imposes are low and if it affects any people it won’t mind them.
b) Aggressive People - The people traveling on the road are very impatient and don’t care about other .And Auto's and Bikes top this list. They move in small road creating havoc’s for the whole road.
c) Not planned road: If roads were planned properly then the extent of the problem would have decreased .They would be better coordination and people can travel faster that way.
By these problems many people's lives are at risks, so to whom ever reading, this is a universal message don’t drive harsh.
Its better late than Never

c) Not planned road: If roads were planned properly then the extent of the problem would have decreased .They would be better coordination and people can travel faster that way.
By these problems many people's lives are at risks, so to whom ever reading, this is a universal message don’t drive harsh.
Its better late than Never

The Indian Coach Fiasco
After the early exit of the Indian cricket team from the World Cup, Greg Chappel (The coach at that time) had fought for another term, but after his poor show and his cold wars between the players, he was sacked.
The major problem occurred after he was sacked. It wasn’t supposed to be a problem but due to the brilliant arrangement, it had to be a problem. The story goes like this -
After Indians exit from the world cup, due to their hectic schedule created by the board, they had their next tour to Bangladesh within a month. During this time, finding a new coach wouldn’t be possible, so a good idea was to keep the very well known Ravi Shastri as a manager. He was also asked to take the long term plan of being a coach but he declined as he had his media commitments and couldn’t accept the offer. While this was going on, parallel the Bangladeshi Coach DAV Whatmore voluntarily gave his name for being India's coach after his term with Bangladesh.
While the tour was going on, Dav Whatmore was interacting a lot with the Indian Officials and the player. He got the trust he required that he would need to be the coach. He was supposed to be selected with everything just fine. No problems at all at this moment. After the Bangladesh tour, the coach selection committee meets up and there were only three candidate’s names which were Graham Ford, John Embruey and Dav Whatmore. The thinking of the population of the country was in that state that it just had to be official that Dav Whatmore would be the coach, but then during the board meeting his name was scrapped off by the coach selection team and named only two candidates for the post. The two candidates appeared prepared for their presentation and presented them quite exclusively. After the presentation it was decided that Graham Ford would be an apt person for the job. So they sent him an offer letter.
After a few days, there was another twist to the story. Graham Ford declines the offer without any particular reason and he wanted to stay with his previous employer, Kent. This was a big blow to the Indian team who were stranded without a coach to guide them. The Indian Coach Selection committee got a great setback by this and had a meeting on what to do next. The team’s next tour was to England and Ireland which is in another 2 week and in two weeks they weren’t able to anything accept to select another manager and it was another great player of the Indian cricket team, Chandu Borde. The Coach Selection team says that they are going to select a new coach with new names and it will be clearly well organized without any hic cups.
What I have to day about this - At the beginning of the period, I felt after what Dav Whatmore had done, it was a clear cut case that he would be selected. After the influence of some of the senior members of the Board his name was scrapped , this came as a surprise. After his name out of the list, the other two candidates had to fight between themselves. It was easily predictable that Ford only would be chosen .After a few days; the twist actually became madness. It was like no one wanted to coach the Indian Cricket team. Ford Dint accept the job .
Now the selection of the coach will be after the England tour , so let’s see what happens after the England tour .
With a team like India, there is no requirement of a coach. The senior players in the team have abundance of experience and if any problems occur during the course then the players could only help each others out. A coach is only to guide the players; the players who form the team are the actual one's to be playing on the field. So with a coach or without a coach it will be no difference, at least for the Indian Cricket Team.

Why so much Hype ??
When I was reading the paper today, i came across a article which was headlined as "Deva Gowda's hissing guest causes flutter”.
Devo Gowda is a politician who was once the Prime Minster of the country and then he was thrown out of his seat and after which he has been followed by the paparazzi a lot . In today's paper the news reported that in Deva Gowda's apartment there was a rat snake which had entered in an auspicious date. They also stated that he was scared to death when some one told him that it was a cobra and they also brought in speculations that he might do a bit of a funda with the governmental issues because a snake entering in an auspicious date might mean something to him as he is religious.
Now after analyzing the above, what I feel about reporters is that they have nothing else to do except to talk about such bullshit. Instead of using the time in reporting issues helpful to the readers , they waste their time talking about a freaking snake that had lost its way and entered into a politician's house . After all why do the politicians require so much hype? They aren't doing anything useful nor are they doing anything constructive.
Reporters shouldn’t be that jobless that they report anything or over thing they get other wise it'll just be no use reading the news paper.

The Usage of gadgets
Now a day’s technology is used in many ways. The technology created now days are improving and the more they are improving the more it is becoming a necessity.
Technology can now be witnessed to be with street sellers and various other low income groups.
For e.g. there was day when a vegetable vendor was coming near our house and suddenly he turned away in another direction. I went near him and asked him why dint you come there and he told me that one of his customers had called him on his mobile and told him that they wanted some items urgently. I was like shocked and he just passed by me as if he never talked to me.
These days technology is going to extent that the paper work in you offices will all be streamed down to palm tops. The other day there was this Microsoft add coming on the TV and it should that a man was going for a meeting from his office taking a plane to his required place and he dint have anything accept a palm top. That’s how people are going to be after a few days .All in palm tops, mobile phone which could be used as a 7.2 mega pixel camera and a video recorder and a GPS system all in one. It’s quite freaky to say, but in no time these inhuman gadgets will one day rule our world .Later we will no choice other than listening to them unless we act right now by using these gadgets at a lower rate.
All The Best in doing so

Argument : Is Seeing television good or bad ??
Seeing Television could be a addiction for some .For others , it could be a method of relaxation or it could be a source to their new ideas . There are many disadvantages as well as advantages in seeing different channels , let it be a serial or a news report .
Let analyze both the aspects here that is the advantage and dis advantage .
Lets take the disadvantages first . The major problem with TV is that it is too addictive because there is a lot of variety . For Eg,If your watching a movie and you dont like it ,heres always another substitute to that channel . That way one after the other you can continously keep watching the TV only and by the time you look at your watch you'd have spent like hours on it .
Now if you look at the bright side of TV , TV has to be taken as an entertainment which is part of relaxing yourself or getting to know whats happening around the world . Saying that TV is good , most people criticize saying that its bad for health . But then these people who criticize ,they also have a TV in their houses and they also watch it regurlarly . TV is part of everyone's minds . People watch sports , games , movies and so on , they are always have to be used to relax your brain and not to be addictive to .These TV's are the ones who have enriched some the huge minds to get terrific ideas .
So I could only ask all people not to be addicted to the TV but do have a glance at it and gain knowledge from it.

Tell Me Your Dreams
Tell me yours dreams is a book written by Shidney Sheldon. The story mainly revolves around a lady struggling in life and has 3 split personalities.
I felt it quite interesting because first of all my likings are thriller stories and secondly its shocking in the finish of first where they first find out she has split personality and all the murders that were done were by her only.The plots for each scenario is nicely and conventionally done. The Court scence whch comes in the second part of the book is also scripted very well. That to the way the case was presented also was wonderfully done. The last part of the book is a bit of slag and is not usefull to read .It should'nt have been there or just a short epilogue should have been given about it instead of a different set of chapters decribing her treatment on her split personality .This was the one hitch in the book otherwise the book is excellent and anyone can read with out any difficulties.

Living the Village style
The village style is kinda freaky .In the morning you get up with some of the natural bugs crawling on the bed .If you a sleep lover then its worse for you cause there is a hell of chances that the electricity may be off and if it does then you will be stuck in big dilemma ,either to put the blanket and sleep with out the bugs passing your ears and irritating you but the hitch here is that you will be burnt of heat or the second option is to stay open on the bed , stay a bit cool and let the bugs rule your night . This is cause you cant have your fans switched on.
After passing this phase , we go to the breakfast where we get nothing else except the regular food ,the same thing made again and again . After that, passing time is fun only if you have company or else you will be stuck with grandma's and grandpa's who keep talking talking talking .Its fun sometimes but gets boring afterwards . The Television also wont work cause either the electricity will be off or there's only free channels that come ,its cause in rural areas how do u get tv.The water is also kinda freaky . Its the well water and you cant say anything but just trust people that its good .
Moving on to the afternoons the lunch also will be normal and its a bit okay by now , the weather fine , all people sleeping and you cant sit in calmness read some books,magazines etc . And the normal school get over by about 4.30 adn everyone comes home by bus and mostly walking or cycling back home.After this its quite fun cause we get some one of your age and you can play talk about the days happenings or play so games and quitely pass time that way .By now it'll be at about 6.30 or so.And then there wil television on for which only one channel comes and the same boring serials . Well time passes quickly and it'll dark and you'll find various bugs scaring irrtating and flying all round .Then after all the talking and bla bla the next program of the day is dinner .Well this is almost the same as the lunch with a little extras in it . Dinner is preety good with extra's especially all the oily stuff added like pappad and so . And after the beautifull dinner ,its time to sleep . Before sleeping if there's a habit of reading on the bed then it wont work ,cause you see the irritation and scary bugs may go to the extent of killing you even if they dont mean to . Well this is how a normal day passes for visitors from developed places .If you have any opinions please do comment , I would be glad to know .
