Things That Bang

One of the strangest things I noticed in the US was that people used to leave their curtains open even at night. Even in high rise buildings one could look in on someone making dinner, some watching tv or exercising. Thing is - its considered to be a nasty thing to be a peeping Tom in the US but not so in India.

Once I returned home I found myself drawing the curtains once the sun went down. My sense of security demanded that before I left home I draw the curtains and at night keep them closed.

Today I left the curtains open and at about eight in the night found a little red light dancing on the LCD screen and on the wall. Some asshole was pointing a lazer pointer right inside my house!! Fear engulfed me and I drew my curtains.

Was that asshole in my garden? I checked my doors, called out to my helper to check the place out and he found nothing. Obviously the miscreant stopped doing it when he saw me draw the curtains.

What kind of a motherfucker would do such a thing?! Bloody uncivilized gavaar!!
