The Mouse Hunt: A Learning Experience

Finally it was time to comeback from a good vacation after our weary exams. Standing at the railway station I had no clue about what kind of hardships I would come across while trying to get into a summer internship, one thing was for sure that the coming days would be fun (well you never know). Well somewhere in my mind I had decided that I will come out productive and was eagerly looking forward to it.

Come sweet home which had been left alone for 10 days, did not expect the first hardship right around the corner. A teeny-weeny brown coloured "jerry" runs over the mattress half folded on the ground, tries to climb the cot, reaches to the top in a jiffy and suddenly ends up finding itself again back to ground, tries to runaway and hide from the monsters who just arrived watching it like spectators and finally achieves its goal succesfully. Learning: "Try try till you succeed".

After this small incident we were fast asleep, never thought on whether our little friend would trouble us again and we completely forgot about it, though we had it in mind that we wanted to chase jerry out in the same manner it had entered.

"Venu...Venu..." I heard a voice, waking me up saying "dude its late we have to go to office, get up and get ready" the thought of going late to the office woke me up and I went to the bathroom only to find out our little friend swiming in a small bucket 1/4th filled with water near the pot. I just could'nt believe that our friend was enjoying a cold water bath in this heat and suddenly the dirty mind started working to catch hold of the mouse and let it away from our room.

I held the bucket in utmost care and walked very slowly outside the room just to make sure that Jerry does not pop out and land on my chest or anywhere for that matter and as soon as I reached the gate I threw the water away only to see the mouse happily sprinting. I was happy with the feeling of satisfaction of seeing the ugly thing out of my place, had a nice shower. Learning: "If you have an oppurtunity then grab it, otherwise someone else will take your chance"

I blogged this because I always feel that something, someway and somehow in life teaches you something and everyday is a new learning for a new beginning.... Like my Mouse Hunt !!!

Well to keep you updated I just found out that Jerry has come back with vengeance...
Learning:"Don't count your chickens before they hatch"... Cheers!!
