    I would really love to explain it to others. But the moment any word on hunting came out of my mouth people mocked me. In my school when I narrated this story to a classmate he made fun of me and my father. I vowed never to share any story with anyone. But on going through this forum I realised...

    Thank You for your kind words,Sir. I think that they used 2 cell torches at that time. I can't confirm it though. I could not bring myself to use DBML gun against a charging beast.
