There was a guy in school named Subroto Giri, who, we all agreed, was the world's most accident prone person. All the world's ill luck would strike him first before affecting others. We sympathized with him, though we couldn't help occasionally taking a dig at the poor guy. I guess Murphy's law of averages has finally caught up with me. It's now my turn to be the butt of the jokes of my acquaintances. I went to HDFC Bank to sort 2 issues. One was sorted, the other had to wait. It was during my trudge back to my office that I made the mistake of putting my left hand into a hip pocket. Unknown to me, a bee had conveniently lodged itself there. No sooner had I made the intrusion than the bee stung me! My thumb, to be more precise. It felt like my thumb had been amputated.

Comments
I am writing a comment on your blog for the last time. This is to inform you that I have received your message very loudly and very, very clearly. The message that those mails that I sent you, far from being entertaining, funny etc. (the way others found them to be) were not received well by you. I was just joking in an earlier comment in which I said that I would continue to send these mails to you. I am not going to do any such thing. I failed to see the extent of the problem that those mails were giving you and also I did not understand the hints that you dropped earlier as I thought you were not all that serious about it. You on your part could have also written a seriously worded letter and posted it to my mailing address stating the problem instead of posting not-so-serious sounding messages on our yahoo group. This way I would have stopped sending those mails earlier. Forgive me for all the trouble I have given you.
And regarding your earlier posting in your blog about me, I would like to say that you should be more mindful of what you write about somebody. You know I am not all that bad. Deep, if you cannot write anything sensible about me, please refrain from writing about me at all.
Really yours truly,
Sameer.
