Crab race




Day before yday after we had gone to dinner at office and we were coming back to our desk I saw a huge crab just near the entrance of the building...It seemed damn sacred as it was sitting[well thats what i think] in the corner...still as a statue.Pics attached above
At first I felt it was some wire[looking at its legs] later on closer look I came to know it was a crab...
It was nice to see a crab which was alive...The last time i guess i had a seen alive crab I guess when i was 9 or 10.

This mawrewali [the female who sells fishes is called by that name in marathi] use to always come and sell fishes and crabs in our building...at that time whenever she got crabs...and when ever out neighbour bought crabs from here...we use to have a fun of our own for sometime...she use to tie its hands..and then we use to tie a tread to the crab and roam around with it in the gallery of the building.
Then we use to also play Crab race,:-P, we use to draw a start line and a finish line so see who wins..

It use to be fun we were 3 of us..myself,Pravin and Gaurav.
Ok back to present...well when we saw the crab..did nothing much took some pics fooled around for sometime with it and then returned back to work...Though later we heard that the pantry fellow had caught it but then we called him and asked him to release it which he did it later...

Lolz... TINY ONES!!!! one prick and you'll realize how tiny they can be!

And pleaseeeee tell ur neighbors not to eat crabs... how can somebody just boil them to death and relish it. I mean its gross to munch on dead creatures with all its shit n all.. n moreover crabs are meant for taking revenge (putting dem into ppl's shirts sounds better no?!) and not for Killing!!!!! huh! ;)
