It
was a bright day and the sunshine peeped in crossing many snags and
finally fell on my eyes only to wake me up afresh when I was still
snuggling on my bed.Oh Shit!! Its already 7 30 a.m. Why am I so lazy
(all the time!!).That's okie,after all what more can give the pleasure
of a sound sleep.That's life ;).Finally, picking up some more
inspiration..actually...not inspiration, but a complete insistence of
the intellect on my lazying mind, I wake up and hurry to find a
bathroom.For those of you who are wondering as to how many bathrooms I
have, I am staying in a PG (paying guest) as my house is quite far from
college...By the way, quite far means..a travel from my house to my
college would cover almost the diameter of Bangalore. :D.
Oh yeah!! coming back to my getting ready to college, I whisk into the kitchen and pack my box though I know its very late to class as that's my priority.When I say class, I remember its networks class..Sangeeeeeetha ♬ ♬ ma'am class.The most sleep causing class @least to me(no offences please) and at the sametime would lose attendance for even being 2-3 mins late. For now the only hope I have is Vani is also late today.I am not happy that she's late,but its actually a 'not just me' kinda feeling that calms down your tension a bit.Here I go,locking my room at Vani's one big shout of 'Come fast yaaa' rushing downstairs and finally race by to reach bus stop only to realize its EXTREMELY late and we have no hopes of any buses.With no next question both of us in unissance look out for auto.
We see one guy leaning on an auto presumably the auto driver.He stares at us like those comedians in Kannada movies with a creepy look.Oh we don't have time to get irritated now.Just hurry up and call him I thought.My thought now is perfectly in sync with Vani's expressions even without uttering a single word.Finally we went there and asked him "PESIT?" and get into the auto bearing the grin of that monkey faced fella apparently.He is now sitting in a posture which could well be depicted only when I compare it with a slight Trikonasana.I am wondering why he's sitting like this and infer it was to balance the auto through my all possible optimism.
He started the auto.So did my heart start thumping witnessing the surge in speed he takes.Me and Vani are staring at each other not that we wont reach class on time, but that, we may directly reach heaven at once.He is driving crazily I say!!Both of us are still dumbstruck and exchanging looks as to who should tell him to slow down.But within my thought process is transfiguring into action, everything has already happened.He hit a bike slightly and took an extreme left turn and the whole auto toppled!!!
Now goes the best part.The auto is resting totally on its side and so is Vani still intact in her position as when the Auto was upright.And me I am exactly perpendicular standing in the gap in front of the back seat and stare down in complete anger.I wonder how I was angry instead of being afraid.I also wonderfully wonder as to how I came to that position without being hurt :D.....Now I see down!! The auto is on the auto driver who has fallen down and is facing me.I asked him not realizing my position nor his position " What have you done???" in kannada.And to my disbelief, the guy is smiling at me (dont forget the entire auto in which Vani is there has fallen on him) and says "Saaarrrry Madam".
Oh god!! What all happened in minutes.Finally we get back to pg to get some rest and bunked that class :D :D.
