Blog Entry Once Upon A Flash
by Nishant Shah published Nov 04, 2011 last modified Dec 14, 2012 10:23 AM — filed under:

He skipped across death traps with skilled ease: leaping over potholes, jumping over halfdug trenches, avoiding the occasional pair of doggy jaws that longed to mate with his ankles, ignoring the bikers who were using the pavements as new lanes for driving towards a honking traffic jam bathed in an orange and red neon that made the road look like a piece of burnt toast with dollops of vicious jam on it.
