ammoral explosion

I carefully took out the bomb from the pockets of my shorts,
standing, I let the fuse loose, then with utmost care removed the upper paper and powder layer off to more than 2 inches of the length. keeping only one inch of the fuse to ignite the bomb.
This would take at least 5 mins for the bomb to go after I would have lit the fuse.

I Placed the bomb on the floor, put the tin container on top of it, leaving enough space so that the fuse would diffuse. Enclosed in a Container would increase the magnitude of the damage.

Match-box was placed on the partition wall of the toilet a day earlier, taking it in my hand, I slowly lit the match, placed it on the the tip of the fuse, as my heart pounded, I opened the door of the toilet, closed it from out side, walked briskly out in the field, Ran towards the ongoing football game. realizing i was still holding the match-box, threw it in a nearby bush and joined the game.

Massive explosion happened just as i was dribbling the ball.
The whole school came to a grinding halt..for a few minutes, prefects were seen running to the toilets, all the players in the field stood for a while, as I moved towards the post, hit the ball hard.. I do not really remember whether I scored or missed.
Meticulous planning, heart of a lion, and coolness.
No one suspected me, and it was the first bomb of the season that year.
There was a feeling of triumph, and I could not hide it, I had to show off.

So later after the school, when the explosion was discussed in the bus, I claimed it to some close friends. they did not believe it initially, so later I had the match box in the bush to prove it.
That day onwards my status soared and caliber recognized. all next explosions were attributed to me, by default, though that was the only explosion that I ever did, even the Padre's frisked me after every explosion in the school.
I was famous.

Few things to note after every explosion that happens on the streets.

1)Some one wants to get Famous.
2)The sane, like me do it only once and take the credit for all the next.
3)The School, appoints more prefects and gives them more powers, and they are all my friends.
4)Later during the year I did win a student election.
5)All individuals need recognition, weak take the insane route.

* Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.
o Ray Bradbury

* Sanity is basically an act. Insanity, is dropping the act.
o Nana Lee

* I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
o Anonymous

* If we are all insane, then all insanity becomes a matter of degree. If your insanity leads you to carve up women like Jack the Ripper or the Cleveland Torso Murderer, we clap you away in the funny farm (except neither of those two amateur-night surgeons were ever caught, heh-heh-heh); if, on the other hand, your insanity leads you only to talk to yourself when you're under stress or to pick your nose on your morning bus, then you are left alone to go about your business...although it's doubtful that you will ever be invited to the best parties."
o Stephen King, Danse Macabre

* ...in the West, the insane are so many that they are put in an asylum, in China the insane are so unusual that we worship them.
o Lin Yutang

* The only difference between me and a madman is that I am not mad.
o Salvador Dali

* The world of madness is a lot bigger than the world of sane.
o Charles Manson

* You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.
o Charles Manson

* Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.
o Niels Bohr

* There is a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.
o Oscar Levant

* One long-past innocent day, in my prefolly youth, I came upon a statement in an undistinguished textbook on psychiatry that, as when Kant read Hume, woke me forever from my garden-of-eden slumber. "The psychotic does not merely think he sees four blue bivalves with floppy wings wandering up the wall; he does see them. An hallucination is not, strictly speaking, manufactured in the brain; it is received by the brain, like any 'real' sense datum, and the patient act in response to this to-him-very-real perception of reality in as logical a way as we do to our sense data. In any way to suppose he only 'thinks he sees it' is to misunderstand totally the experience of psychosis."
o Philip K. Dick

* Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
o This and variations on it have been attributed to various different sources, including Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, an old Chinese proverb, and Rita Mae Brown


And my personal favorite...

* Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your children.
o Sam Levenson

Mr. Singh is....that your

5 point observation and explanation....

does not have such a simple 5 point explanation.....

You cannot possibly comprehend....

And faith moves mountains....

Faith, Mr. Hunter is Einsitiens Theory of relativity.
Relevant only to the believer, For the rest of us, such fanatics are to be used for our our own Beilefs, that could be Raking Moolah or waging a war at rest of europe.

Who gets the better of whom, is the tug-o-war.
Monkeys, get intrested in logistical part,
Whether it was, RDX or Gunpowder, mujahideen, or muhajir's, delhi or islamabad, hindu or muslim.

Its sad that, Human lives get affected, but then for except a few affected, it is only a figure.
