The cat...meow.
I have never had any major mishaps as a baby like most babies do . The reason being I found it a struggle to move around because I couldn't carry my own weight around(Look at the picture for proof). So, all I did was sit in one place and play. I never gave a reason for any mishap to occur. I know many mothers would love a baby like that.
I sat in front of the TV, eating very slowly like I always did. Then , curiosity struck and I decided to measure the size of my nostrils. I looked around and found the pea to be the perfect tool for the task . I put the pea into one of my nostrils and found it to be a perfect fit. I tried removing it when I realized it was time for my mum to wake up and she would scold me for doing such a thing. Then came the dreaded moment, the pea was stuck . Due to my breathing, I had pushed the pea further up my nose. When my mum woke up and came to me, she found that there was something fishy by the way I was acting. On enquiring, I blurted out the incident and she grew panicky. She tried all measures to remove the pea but all her efforts failed. The sneeze never came nor did I cough. I could still breathe with one nostril but after sometime I started feeling a little breathless, more so because of the fear of dying young. Finally, my mother took me to my neighbour’s house and the pea was finally removed after a lot of efforts.
From that day onwards, I swore to myself that I would never experiment such a thing on myself or on others. I have been pretty harmless since then.
:) thank God it wasn't a marble huh!
ReplyDeleteRecalling decades old incident is not an easy job. Good one. Keep penning.
ReplyDelete@ Life Unordinary: Yeah thank God for that:)
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous: Thanks... Some incidents in life are unforgetful.
Ch, curiosity could have, literally, killed the cat. But, know what? You are not a loner when it comes to such experiments, specially in childhood. Yours truly, has been the reason of so many disasters, already. :P

ReplyDeleteReplace Pea with a Big Iron Bolt, and Replace you with me.
ReplyDeleteThere... Now you have my story .. :D
(Thank God my Dad had chosen to be a Doctor when he did)
Cheers,

@ Shrijeet: Was that iron bolt in your nose the reason for you to be a mechanical engineer? ;)
ReplyDeleteHaww, cheater cock! You used the same picture twice! Hame ullu bana rahe ho?
ReplyDeleteand as far as pea puluao is concerned, did you ever try eating it again? :P
And one more question. Why would you go to your neighbour if a pea is stuck in your nose? I would have probably gone to a doctor! (now don't tell me your neighbour is a doctor!)
I have only one baby pic of mine on FB that I use and reuse all the time. :D
DeleteI think I ate the pulav. Neighbour uncle was sarva gyaani for us then. :)
