sharique: so as to avoid the bullet
sharique: if he happens to shoot on the door
sharique: so hide behind things which are near to the wall

Ok the fun is over and our poor Noemaun saw the worse after this. This is his blog entry
After 3 hours, I slowly opened the door and peeped outside. There were no police officers in the corridor. I wanted to use the restroom badly, so i slowly walked and went to the restroom without making any noise.
At that time, a SWAT team forced into the restroom with all semi automatic rifles pointing at me. They were so quick. Within a flash they were all around me. I was frightened. The last thing I want is to be shot in a restroom. They asked me to raise my hand and then keep it on my head and then they asked me to turn and then asked me kneel down. They were literally screaming all these instructions to me.
And then they checked my pockets for any weapon. “He is clean”. Then they guided me out of the restroom. My heart was beating at twice its normal rate. I was surrounded by suspiciously looking officers. I kept my hand on my chest and cooled down. Then I smiled and told the officer, “I got scared” and he said “Don’t you know this building has been cordoned off”.
WOW! That was scary, isn’t it? Here is the news. Jack Bauer these days is my fascination and I would love to get rescued by him. Perhaps in the process also fire few gun shots at someone. If you haven’t heard of Mr. Bauer, well he is the American avatar of our Mithun da or Rajnikanth. More later on this similarity.
