Again.. Time age... no remember..
but yeah.. bro and me...
Hand in hand for a change..
His physics projects were super cool.. held me in awe...
making battery lighted bulbs.. making ringing bells... typical smaller class but long forgotten little
projects....
I used to sit around watching him go about his way... cutting wires.. fixing them.. making suitable
sized boxes.. collecting batteries.. seperating wire strands... making them of appropriate
lengths... wow...
And the joy i used to feel when his work succeeded.. It was pride.. it was wonder.. it was
worship..
He used to let me help him once in a while.. picking up nuts bolts.. screwdrivers.. counting the
strands.. catching hold of fly away papers.. and threads.. n stuff like that..
and i used to feel so so so honoured in doing all tht.. maybe i believed hes the next Thomas
Edison or something.. (well i wouldnt be surprised if he is.. i still believe he is one in disguise...)
One evening he was at his work.. and me as usual loitering around him hoping he will need me to
do something..
ok i agree i was bugging him.. begging him to actually lemme help him..
so he relented n asked me to help him cut the outer covering of the wire he was using to make
the strands visible...
feeling quite elated i jumped in joy.. held on to one end of the wire.. and he began slicing the case
from his side with his new pen knife.. ok pen blade...
the cover started to peel off slowly.. have you ever seen the peeling of wire??? it kinda curls up if
its done thinly and all that..
i was watching it slowly opening up to reveal the strands inside.. shiny beautiful lovely brown
copper strands...
and then Wham.. the blade slipped from over the wire and slid neatly into my outstretched point
finger... neatly cutting open a part on the side of it...
oooohhhhhh.... bloooooooddddd......
my bro freaked.. i was in pain.... but all over in a zap.....
he never meant to... but he gave me a super duper gift...
i had this creepy cut on my finger and an awesome huge bandage on it... my finger looked like a
survivor of the star wars...
he gave me a whole week of awestruck fans and admirers.. i was the current inspiration.... wow....
