Scary night

Last night indeed was scary....

It was about 9:30pm when Satish confirmed that he was on his way and as I went to attend nature's call, I heard a boy crying out loud Appa Appa.....I got a shock of my life and was so startled that I just got out to see if everything was okay downstairs. To my surprise, almost every other neighbour was out to see what had gone wrong.

It was none other than our notorious neighbour on the first floor who were as usual quarreling and I guess was also physically abusing the wife. When my neighbour on the 2nd floor and I were talking the notorious man came out and when we questioned, he said that everything was alright. After a few minutes, it started again and this was indeed not the first time. This has been going on for months in regular intervals. We decided to inform the secretary who was at the shuttle tournament downstairs. To our shock, there was a crowd that had gathered to see what went wrong and to find a solution. One of the two men in that house acted very weird considering that he was piss drunk. He abused all of us and used bad language and also took a wooden plank to hit us. Everyone stopped him and his family came rushing to put an end to the commotion. Things got very dirty and the cops had to be called.

The husband tried to apologise and said that his brother will not behave that way going forward and not to make an issue out of it. It was too late as the cops were on the way. The men fled giving some lame reason out of the apt. The family promised that this will not be repeated and then once the cops arrived after nearly 20mins of calling, they made some enquiry and left the place. Such neighbours should not be allowed to stay in big apts or even if they happen to stay, they should ensure that their problems are kept within 4 walls and not let it out as public nuisance.

The three kids in their family are watching this day in and day out and not sure how much of a psychological effect this will have on them. Hope things turn out smooth for their family and they let the rest of us stay in peace

We did everything with great guts but we did not have that lil bit of fear in us once we got back home.
