Rahul Ou School is finally over, and as usual the same school Blue Van takes me home. I eat my dinner around 4:30pm and I am supposed to take a nap after finishing up my food. I do not want to sleep, but I sure want to watch the TV Show "Adventures of Tarzan". Mom forces me to take a nap, because she says, "After a long hot school day you must rest for a while or you will fall sick." She also tells me that we will be visiting my aunt today. Later in evening around 7 pm, we arrive at my aunt's place and as usual she is cooking something good. Today I smell Biryani (spicy chicken with evenly mixed basmati rice) and by this time I am getting hungry. I tell my Aunt that I want to eat Samosas, so we all go to this giant food store. There I see a tall young man with a long mixing utensil is cooking deep fried Samosas in a huge frying pan. Aunt buys some freshly cooked samosas and sandwiches and along with that comes Spicy Chutney Sauce. Furthermore, she rents my favorite movie "Mohra-Indian Hindi movie". I am so happy today; everything is going well. I start to play my usual game of racing parked cars. I run beside parked cars and there is hardly any space to move quickly. I am really happy today. I have my homework done and now I will go home and eat my Samosas, Biryani,and watch the movie, "Mohra". This is my best day and I am also winning the race against the cars. As soon as I take my eyes off the ground to see how much more distance is left to the finish line, my foot gets stuck in the back left wheel of the car. I fall face forward on a metal handle of a sewage gutter lid. I scream "Mummy, mummey, ma" and threw her into a state of panic as she sees me crying and blood dripping from my chin. She pushed a cloth against my chin and tells me to hold it tightly. In a panic my aunt and mom take me to the Liquat Medical Centre. "Doctor is a bad man", I do not know what he is doing, but it hurts a lot. A couple of bandages on my chin and I was back home. Things are not going as well as I think, I am lying on bed watching the movie, but I fall asleep a quarter of the way through. The chin hurts so much as I bite, so I can't finish my Samosas or Biryani. I lost on the movie or food part, but I sure was the winner of the game, and will always win.
