Killing Expedition....

My friend who is known to be affected by this 'excessive-indulgence-in-cleanliness' syndrome one day saw two tiny cockroaches running out of one of the cupboards, in our two bedroom house.. She gets frenzy and comes and complains..


She:"You know what??? I saw SO MANY cockroaches in the house… they were running here and there… everywhere…. I saw them come out of the cupboard too…Its high time we do something About this yaar.. "
And I go "Ah! There goes Anshul again.. :)"



Me: "I don’t think there are SO MANY cockroaches Anshul… I have not seen any of them.. Probably one.. That too a small one.."
She: "No yaar.. There are lots...There may be SO MANY more, you know… What will happen if there are SO MANY GENERATIONS of them??"
Me(thinking..): … They will establish their kingdom here and encroach our place….and throw us out…. :D

Me: "Ok…If there are many, as you think, then the next time we go to food world, we'll pick up a bottle of 'HIT' okie??"
She: "Okie…."
Then we get a BIG Mortein Spray which will kill cockroaches, spiders and all kinds of nauseating insects… ;)

Its saturday morning….
Both of us are ready for the mission….
She: "We'll take everything out of all the cupboards.. Keep it inside our rooms… And then spray… 'coz you may never know...those creatures might be hiding in the crevices…"
Me: "You mean take EVERYTHING OUT OF EVERY CUPBOARD??"
She: "Yeah..!"
Me: "Hmmm… ogay.. " ((thinking..) we might have to set the WHOLE damn house right after that…! )

We remove all the cupboard contents…Put them in our respective rooms…
She: "Shall we seal the space beween the door and the floor with papers so that the ENTIRE cockroach khandan will not come running into the rooms??"
Me(thinking...) .. Wait and watch whether we run or they run… :D
Deciding that the idea was too too much of precaution, we drop it…. ;)

Me: "I didn’t even see a single one when we emptied the cupboard..!"
She: "I know.. They are hiding.. They are running inside the gaps which may be there... "
Me: "Hmm.. Ok.."

We tie our scarves as masks and continue alternately spraying Mortein in the cupboards…She sprayed real EXCESSIVE quatity of Mortein in evey square cm of the cupboard, that at one point of time, I thought that the wooden cupboard and shelves by themselves would scream, detatch themselves and run out of the house!! :D

We finally happened to spot one small cockroach, and she went behind that poor thing spraying with HIGH PRESSURE and didn’t leave it till it died!!!

Me: "Hey, I guess we need to spray and leave it.. The cockroaches will automatically come out and die on their own… Its not like we have to go around as if we a re shooting them down with guns..."
She: "Is it?? Ok.. But when will they die..."
Me: "They will.. Eventually… Wait and watch.."

Unable to bear the stink of the house because of the spray, we were tieing our masks tighter and tighter….And after she finished almost the ENTIRE BOTTLE of Mortein… We decide to go out of the house for sometime, till it works…We got out and went to the terrace…

Me: (laughing) "You know what.. Even for a proper household with a lot of area, one bottle lasts for almost 2-3 months… and we managed to empty the whole thing in our chota house in one hour!! "
She: "Oh..ok.."

Me: " We shall SUE Mortein if we find anything less than 30 cockroaches… okies?? :) "
(**there better be lots, atleast for your good...** ;) the ENTIRE cupboard has to be set again!! Aaarrrrggghhh ")

She: "See.. We saw 2 small ones right..? There should have been 2 BIG ones which have produced these.. So we'll try to kill them also... :D"
Me: "Aaarrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh" :)
She: "Ok… ok.. ;) "

We come down after half an hour and enter the house… We see JUST FIVE very small dead ones…!!!!!!!!!!!! Looked at her, giving a 'where-are-the generations' ?? 'wheres-the-kingdom' ?? Kind of looks… :D She became kind of guilty… Then..

Me: "Ok.. Now that there are not many, If we see one hereafter, we'll kill it with the broom..instead of emptying cupboards..Ok? :)"
She: "Okies :)"

Thus ended our expedition… And we had to light agarbathis everywhere in the house to take the stink away… :D

My buddy provides good blog material.. Doesn’t she... ;)
