theft

And recently there has been these series of thefts and robberies fleeting through the city like a plague. What could bother me more right now than the fact that I want to get rid of this viral fever quick as possible. But no, my building played host to two of these miscreants this morning. Now who would ever possibly think of targeting a sleepy old building more than 20 years old, who has never had anything exciting in its old existence except for maybe a two addicts and a mad man. Now these thieves (un)fortunately decided to break open a house on the first floor which has been closed for more than 15 years every since old aunty Carol expired. The thieves thought they were clever and locked all the doors of those on the first floor in the morning they managed to pick the lock but obviously didn't find anything, duh! The first floor tenets got their two minutes of fame when the cops were called, i.e. just one pot bellied constable. In all this commotion my folks forgot that i was unwell and my grandmother was busy gossiping with her old cronies, jabbering away in rapid konkani till my loud cough managed to gain her attention and I had my fill of stale info. She's watching Ganga on t.v. right now, a bhojpuri movie starring Ravi Kissen, Nagma and Amitabh Bachan, a different dialect is somewhat appealing to her and I without a trace of remorse, guilt or shame am watching along with her.
