It was 8 pm. I had some doubts about a subject and wanted to discuss with friend living three streets away. So, I started to walk down to her house. There was absolutely no one on the road. I could see two guys on the road ahead, under the lamp post. As I walked on, they started moving towards me. I could see a glint of something in one guy’s hand. I tried to walk clear of them and almost stepped into the drainage canal b the road.
“Don’t move”, said one of them.
Both were around twenty, skinny and looked bedraggled.
“Don’t Shout”, said the other. His voice trembled showing fear.
“Bachao, Help”, I yelled out.” Bachao”
Immediately, the second guy started running. Left alone the guy with the knife was not sure.
I struck a karate pose and yelled again. ( Iam a Bruce Lee fan but one who doesn’t know Karate)
I advanced, he retreated and turned and ran.
I followed him about twenty steps when I realized my foolishness.
What if he throws the blade. I ran in the opposite direction straight to home.
Dad had just returned from the duty. He was removing his boots. He half heard what I said and started off with one boot and chappal on.
There was no sign of the guys.
But the episode got me the name of Karate Kid in the neighbourhood.
