A Trip to a Theme Park.

Ah.Theme Parks.

These two syllables have been synonymous with adventure, fun, frolic and above all, a place where you are detached from all that mess at home and at school. (Yeah right.)

Enter one and you'll be welcomed with massive statues of characters, usually with water sprouting from a body hole, trying to look inviting instead of creepy, and failing miserably.

Get in, and you'll be greeted with a tired and bored accountant whose "welcome to *theme park*" sounds much more like "I'm bored and I really want a life away from you bozos, who come and pay 300 bucks for a swim." (A specialty of Indian Theme Parks). 

Get your tickets and go to the lockers. Another one of those unenthusiastic guys meets you and gives you the keys for a locker. Go to the locker room and you find that even the mere thought of your bag, filled to the brim with clothes, creams and towels,no doubt, fitting into that hole of a locker, is laughable.                      

Finally, drenched with the perspiration covering your body after stuffing that bag into the locker, you find that that one of your mates has forgotten to put his watch in. Argh.

After all that bickering and backering, you go to the rides.Yay! (Let me quote myself again :Yeah right.)

Enter the pools and and the sight of  dead flies and dried leaves give you a glimpse of the "fun" you are going to have.

And if that doesn't force you to leave the pool, the sight of a tiny-tot peeing into the pool definitely will.Yikes!

Ohk, lets forget about that for now.

Alright, Land Rides! They look fun!

Lets go to bumper cars now.You sit in the car, press the accelerator.
"I'll bang that guy with the car."

Screeeech.

"Sorry, sir. Time Over"

Next : Merry-go Round: You  get in all excited, get out and you come out feeling like Kumbakaran, looking for a bed to sleep after all that boredom.

These are few of the "spectacular", "mind-blowing" and "exciting" rides, as mentioned in all those adverts.

Oh, and did I mention the amazingly unabashed prices of food items?
Each food item costs quadruple times the MRP !

Finally, you come out, with both your pockets and heads empty. Go home and take a nap.

Wasn't that a fun trip to a Theme Park?

You called it the Theme park.. Well, what is the theme in there??
By the perfect report of the scenes, it looks more or less like 'YOU'VE BEEN BURGLED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT'. And to top all of this, you went to the theme park yourself and got burgled! How bad can a day be!! :)


You took a nap after coming back rite?? Tat's the best part of the day I think.. !! Good job, keep writing!!

Torture the keyboards!!
Keep your work going!


Cheers,

well your facts about the flies and pee of other people are quite true but saying that you were robbed is incorrect you yourself gave the money to buy these stuff, right :):). As far as possible reduce the spacing between lines this shows that how much you have written not how much you can write.

But keep on writing, I have to criticize something na :):)

Well,The spacings between the lines are used to give that impactive effect.....and for easy reading....so that nothing appears stuffed in....

well they indirectly robbed me 'coz they didn't allow me to carry my own food stuff and you'll obviously be hungry/thirsty after all that swimming and stuff so you have no other go....
