THE LIGHT OF DAY; THE DARK OF NIGHT

The light and dark in our lives. This isnt something one makes it up. It is there in our daily routines. The light of day; the dark of night. At one time the old folks in the village used to narrate stories about the dark night. The young people clustered around listening to the scary stories about pontianak...................roaming at night taking souls to satisfy her lust. Walking home late at night with moonlight and shadows trailing behind it was a scary thought after listening to the stories of ghost and pontianak. At night every one will pay extra precaution while cycling and walking home...........one never knows what lies beyond the eyes vision. In years the stories forgotten. Now the day has become a scary place too. The evil minds work in the day. A woman was killed in her shop at The Curve.( I dont know about the case now. I think it dies off lacking evidence and trails) Even in my area thieves came in the day ransacked the houses and took the cars......................the latest I heard was an Indian guy stealing gas cyclinder though the house owner shouted at him, he didnt bother with it. He did what he came to do then he fled. Then there was the report about group of people in Ipoh arguing in the early morning at 6. One died on the spot after some commotion. What we have become! Taking lives now seem nothing at all. At one time I remembered Dr M wanted the population of 70 million in the country.................know what the country would be? I dont want to speculate. It is the day or night.Dracula and Hasting...............I better go have my tea.
