The Spirits Within

under the shower..

i was looking at my stubble which has grown considerably in the last week..

i was thinking of when i wud shave it off (post 18 jan i thought to myself..)

i was thinking of the circumstances that i wud have to shave it off in(chance encounter with the 'first time hit'... see russel crowe in beautiful mind hehe)

so i was thinking do i have to carry a razor?

or do it "cold mountain" style hehe

but for that i'd need the knife of my dreams.. the one i always dream of..

so then i thought about how i wud carry the knife.. a belt on the thigh sounded like the coolest.. (a'la Zissou and his Glocks!)

so then thought about which other situation it might come handy in..

exerpts:

train robbery.. we are tied up.. i ask the person next to me to reach for the knife somehow..
cut me loose.. i cut them loose.. we kill the guard who is watching us.. close all entry points into our carriage..
then i manage to sneak out of the door on the side of the engine to get to the link between the carriages..
the way those pani-wallahs do on the trains to guj.. hehe.. somehow manage to disconnect the leading car from us..
and get back into the carriage before the goons at the back realise.. then once we pull the emergency brakes (i do not know how they work? without the engine?)
we are standing still right? now the goons either realise that it was us who did it or their comrades in the leading cars decided to ditch them..
so they wud get to work on us.. i take up command.. call the shots.. ask for a thick book and pull it under my shirt(part bullet-proof)..
then i discuss my plan.. ok im rushing out to knock out the nearest guy with a gun.. with my knife..
i'll need cover fire so i need five guys to get off with me and fire railway stones at them..
the good shots take single stones and fire.. the worse shots take handfuls and throw them randomly..
i explain that it is highly unlikely that i will live thru the ordeal.. so i need someone to take over when im gone.. and complete the tasks..
once we have a gun.. we shoot at the other goons.. and try to take their guns..
i also explain the 'recover me' procedure incase im still breathing at the end..
i 'teach' them how to remove the bullets from me and then press down on the cut.. to prevent excess blood loss..
oh and before leaving.. i tell the guys with the girls to not leave them whatever happens.. to die with them if need be ;)
and i tell the others.. you'll die with me.. as i jump off..
