Today, was a very eventful day at Chengalpattu. One of my office friends, Krishnamoorthy (aka Kicha) was getting married. We had to be there, at the mandap by 6:00am as the muhurtam was from 6:00am to 7:30am. Since we had to leave from Nungambakkam, we caught the first train of the day, at 4:10am, and reached Chengalpattu at 5:35am. Once there, we all waited for the proceeds to get over and finally had to chance to greet the couple, hand over the gift and bouquet and pose for photographs.
The camera man, was not happy with the angle so had us all moving about here and there, till he got a satisfactory angle. Little did any of us realize, that there was a Kutthu Valaku behind us. I was sporting a Kurta set and was adjusting my stole. Apparently, the stole landed on the Kutthu Valaku and absorbed oil and caught fire. None of us noticed it.
Suddenly, I felt my hand burning and my neck getting hot. It was then, that we realized, I was on FIRE. LOL!!! My friend Hari, pulled off the stole from around my neck, and threw it to the ground. Someone else, from behind, started slapping my back, in a attempt to douse the flames on my back. Damn, it was one helluva tense moment. Very intense. But the sad part is, none of the useless camera men, caught the exciting moment, when I turned into the human torch, on camera or on video. DAMN!!!
It was a narrow escape for sure. But then, it was exciting. LOL!!!
The flames of hell for the Devilz Own!!! Friday the 13th!!!
