Captured and Tortured
by gopi&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are some things that
everyone thinks will never happen to them&amp;hellip; Things like accidents, earthquakes,
being struck by lightning, being  burgled, and so on&amp;hellip; &amp;hellip; until
one of these things does happen, and then they are very surprised, even
upset, that it should happen to them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gopi was like everyone else,
but in his case what he thought would never happen to him was&amp;hellip; being
abducted. Naturally, living as he did in a large populous country like
India, he had heard of abductions.  But they always seemed to happen
in other 
places, and to other kinds
of people - like young girls, or children of rich people - and not to perfectly
ordinary people like him.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
