The terrace at his house presented him with that opportunity. However he was blissfully unaware that there was danger lurking from the other bank of the mighty Ganges. A man in his early thirties wearing a Black Tee with Blue Jeans and coolers to provide shade to his eyes, bag in hand , made his way to top of the building. Quickly he made himself comfortable on the roof top. He then turned his attention towards his bag. There was a  M40A5 Rifle. The M40A5 is the latest in a long line of M40 sniper rifles used by the U.S. Marine Corps. He trained his rifle across the Ganges, taking aim through the long distance Telescopic lens of the rifle. In the lens appeared Udayan on the rooftop of Krishnalaya. The Sniper had his hands on the trigger even as the scope pointed directly at Udayans head. Just then the sniper ...

If there is one taste that can tingle the mind in an instant it has to be sweetness. All you would need to do is pop open your mouth, insert the gooey bit of sweetness, the tongue sends out an instant SMS to the brain. The Eyes respond with wideness as much as an umpire may call it out as undoubtedly a wide. The Gap between Wide open to Wide Closed lasts a few nano seconds.
