Revenge of the plumbing fixtures

So,

Like many homes in Mumbai we depend on an AquaGuard for water.

So as usual, when i was filling water, a plumbing fixture came loose.

In my old apartment building, that wouldn't have been such a huge deal because i lived on the 3rd floor of a 4 storey building.

But, in my new building, where i live on the 1st floor of a 20 storey building, the pressure in the pipes is waaaaaaay more.

So, basically what flew past me wasn't a small piece of metal.

It was a small piece of metal that flew right next to my eye with the speed of a bullet

Now, i'd like to say i came to terms with my life and its frailty in that small moment.

That everything slowed down and i could see the metal-piece passing by and my whole life flashing before my eyes simultaneously.

But my only real thoughts were:

"AAARGH!!! WATER WATER!!! IT'S IN MY EYE!!! FAAAK!!!"

Hmph...

Big philosopher i am.

In the midst of the confusion and trying not to step on the shards of a glass that had just fallen down and trying to block the water with my finger, i found a rush.

You know, the kind you get in a fight, or when you drink a bottle of coke, very very fast.

That kind.

Weird?

You tell me.
