This weekend, something tragic happened. Althought I have seen people or things getting seperated, I never got a chance to capture it, except for today. OK dont get so serious. The following photo tour wont bore you. Its near the place where I live.
I was trying to focus sun! ( does this looks good though? )
Thats Nightcliff Jetty, 200-250 meters long, Good place for Fishing and hangouts at night.
Thats when the traggic seperation took place. One of my thongs ( Footware, Dont get another idea!) fell into the deep water, leaving its other half alone and
making my life misrable!)
Just to prove - thas me n the thong is mine....
This whole thing became such a big scene and everyone joined in the mission of getting my slipper back. One lady said, I live nearby and come for a walk everyday. If I see it on the seasore, I will keep it there ( The pointed place). The other guy tried to hook it with fisher-rode but could not get it ( I guess my thong was as smart as me, doesnt fall into hook easily - Kidding m the easiest fish! ). So finally one brave heart came up. Follows:
An aboriginal drunken guy jumped in to rescue my "chappal". Its amazing how one gets so large hearted and brave when he is drunk! I guess alcohol has thing thing to shrink brain and expand heart! ( And damage lever! ).
Anyway, His large heart wasn't sufficient to get two thongs togather. He gave
up, but look what he has got for himself. Follows:
So I have learned again, If you plunge in something for better cause, You always get something in return! ( But make sure you are drunk! )
oh ya! and THE HANDSOME GUY - The end of the story should always be good, isnt it?
Cheers~

Hey komal, ur right... When the drunken guy jumped in, we screamed n stopped him, coz we din want the NT news to make up a story that an indian guy made an aboriginal man drawn into the water for his thong ( NT news paper is expert on creating story realted to sea and crocodiles)!

I was DAMN worried abt his life but more than that i was worried abt me going to jail! ( who knws wt rules these goras has! ) I just prayed that he comes back and doesnt get drwan! He din go further though. I cudnt believe he jumped in as soon as he knew wt we all takign abt.. n said, M getting u ur thongs mate, dont worry.. lol...
ReplyDeletethese aboriginals r like that - very innocent and helpful - but not at all civilised! ( today's sophasticated human's requirement sadly! )
yeah requirement only for people who r meant to b at arms distance...for important ones, u cn b aborginal bt tht cums wid responsibility of saving something which is more difficult nt to establish bt keeping intact...innocence, sharing n caring(like u said)...:)
