Hello-dilly-doo, fellas !!!
I didn’t make hello boring. I made it Texan. Texan means American, which means great. Anyhoo, I hope you’re doing great (of course you are, you’re reading the Email Blast! Also, Duh)
I write this email in a car on my way home. Which is a big pain in the neck. Literally. I was on vacation at Bhandardara. (Weekend destination 28 of 52 according to Outlook Traveller’s 52 Weekend breaks from Mumbai) It sounds boring, but is a good retreat. The wind is around 12 miles an hour and the lake keeps the weather cool. There was rain and hail on Tuesday. Why am I telling you this? Keep reading.
Tuesday night, after Mumbai won their IPL match, mom was the first one to go to her room in the Suite. She was reading a book on her bed when I noticed a rather big creepy crawly a few inches from her. What creepy crawly?A scorpion. I told her and dad to get out of the bed ( they didn’t believe me initially). Then I sprayed it with Axe because I read it somewhere. It stung itself. It scrambled around on the bed, and then Dad landed a good Woodland shoe on it. All this happened in a minute. We called house keeping. They got rid of it after I got this picture. ( Viewer discretion is advised)
Don’t freak out. The arachnid was just looking for a dry place after the untimely rain. Unfortunately, that place was my parents’ bed. Mom and Dad fell asleep after the bed mattress was changed. As for me, I am now convinced I am God. Actually, I’m thinking of starting of my religion so I can claim it’s better than other religions. That’s what all religions do. Just claims, no proof. See people, even God (me) is an atheist.
I’m sorry if you thought this email was gnarly. (I was actually going for that). I’m going to stop typing now.
‘Tis, mate was Weekly Email Blast, Email 7. Happy Holidays !!!
