Once Upon A Time ...
Once Upon A Time There Lived A TigerOnce upon a time there lived a tiger, he was ferocious and a bright orange and had black stripes all over him, by saving him they said you could save water, forests and man, sadly there is none of it now (except for the last).The last known tiger died of unnatural causes, the Chinese trillionaire had put a bounty on his head as they said that eating his organs would make him a man, they wanted to wear his skin as trophies of warriors. When they killed him they discovered he was not of much use, he had rotted away like everything else. The big jungle that had been his playground had been reduced to a city with metroes and sea

IktaraFinally got to watch the movie Wake up Sid, my ever enthusiastic roomie and me summoned the courage to wake up at 7 in the morning change 6 trains before we finally got to see one movie.

It makes me feel very lost and very small when I think of the city I came to, and its impossible to des
