Slap the charges sheriff!! I'm guilty!!

Yes!! The sinister, cold blooded, diabolical and methodical murderer in me was awakened this weekend!! Read on to know more...

Friday Feb 27th.. around 8 pm

I returned from work and plonked myself wearily on the sofa, mentally going through the extremely tough day at work. Yes, it was a very tough day, demanding and thoroughly exhausting work. I decided to make myself some refreshing Tang and watch a movie. Moved on to the kitchen to accomplish this. Thats when i noticed it.. Brownish white, moving at a rapid pace on the walls, and it hid so fast that i just managed to get a glimpse of this unnerving terror!! Ignored it at first and made myself the drink and settled back watching the idiot box.

9 PM - Happily watching, suddenly see the brown-white thing again, this time in the hall!! Was very very pissed off!! Being a clean home, i wonder how this reptilian menace got into my house!! I stood up, watching the intruder up on the wall.. cold stares exchanged.. i tried shooing it back into the kitchen.. cold reptilian stare back.. the one that makes the hair on your back stand up!! Eventually it runs back into the kitchen, leaving me irritated and sipping my Tang.

9.20 PM - Vile reptile back in hall, apparently attracted by the dim light and a couple of mosquitoes hovering around it!! I try chasing but this time there is a determined effort by the villain to linger around!! Grab the broom stick and chase it.. manage to scare it off back into the kitchen area.

9.30 PM - Back again and i lost it entirely!! Broom in hand i huffed and puffed till i chased this nasty creature into the spare bedroom!! Hit upon an action plan!! Broke open the bathroom drain and out popped 4-5 cockroaches!! Whack!! Whack!! Whack!! All dead!! Go to the closet and grab HIT spray and spray generously over the carcasses!!

Next step, hunted down this vile reptile and chased it into the bathroom!! Success!! Locked it in, sprayed another generous dousing of HIT insecticide!! Wicked smirk as i lock the intruder into the bathroom!! Sleep tight!!

Sat Feb 28 9 AM - Cautiously open bathroom door, see 2-3 cockroaches missing!! Plan is going perfectly!! Spray more HIT on the remaining cockroaches and lock bathroom

Sun Mar 1 9 AM - Open bathroom door to find remaining cockroaches missing!! Look further and i see the bugger lying lifeless on the floor!! Murder planned and executed perfectly!! Asked the maid to remove the critter (apparently she is unafraid) and rejoice!!

Yes, lizards scare the bejesus out of me and i will take every possible measure to make sure we dont co-exist peacefully!!
