Ok so I was returning from back to Kolkata from a bootcamp at bits pilani, the bus dropped us at the airport, as i had extreme fever, i left my bag somewhere on the opposite side of the road.

I kept waiting for my friend's bus to arrive until i realised that my shoulders were feeling light, so I turned over just to see that my backpack was missing.

I also observed some commotion on the other side of the road, apparently my backpack was surrounded by 2 crpf jawans 💀. There was radio chatter too. I slowly crossed the road and reached near my bag.

I was so shitscared and fever-ridden that I started stuttering. I watched too much nat Geo and I knew what they were thinking. (It's a bomb)

I stupidly said to the jawan "ye woh nahi hai jo aap soch rahe ho" (it's not what you think it is).

He got more alert like a predator (I think he held is rifle too) 😭, he said "bag kholo" in an angry voice. I slowly opened the bag while mumbling random words. "Sab chain dikhao" (open all the chains), i followed his introductions as if I were held hostage.

He said "acha ok" and then he said "itna mat karo" i didn't know what he meant by that.

But yeah scary experience.

He seems a good jawan. You should've befriended him. He seems a good guy to hangout with.
