My automate

The car beside my auto was honking into my ear constantly. It irritated me so much that I wanted to hurl something in that driver’s face. I was on my way to college was running late as usual because of the crazy traffic. I was clenching my teeth and controlling my temper because I didn’t want to start my day on a bad note. On the footpath there was a girl calling out for an auto when I stressed to listen clearly I heard her say Christ University. She wasn’t getting an auto and seemed like she was getting frustated. I waited for a while and something struck my mind. I called her and told her that I’m from Christ too and we could share the auto if it was okay with her. After a moment of speculation is agreed. We started chit chatting and talking about college, attendence and movies etc. we were so engrossed in our conversation that we didn’t realise we had reached college already. Before going to our respective classes we exchangd numbers. And from that day onwards we both started traveling together. over the time we developed a special bond and both of us became very good friends. Now when we travel to college both of us focus more on our conversations than the traffic.

A well scripted drama

All of us have had some experiences which make us laugh. There was one such incident which is very funny. Once me and my friend parked in a no-parking area. We didn’t see the no parking board. We went and finished our work. when we came back we saw a cop standing near our car from a distance noting down the number of our car. We instantly saw the no-parking board and realised our mistake. We planned to get out of this situation without paying the cop. My friend pretended that she was very sick she was leaning on me. When we reached the car the cop asked as if its’ our car, we said yes, he pointed towards the board. My friend pretended to fall out of dizziness. I told the cop that my friend was really unwell and we had to park here because I had to take her to the doctor immediately. My friend to make it more dramatic started to behave like she was going to vomit. I told the cop to let us go. After some pestering and more drama by my friend he finally let us go.

Distress

I loath getting up in the morning as I never manage to get to college on time because of the traffic everyday. As I travel by auto I cannot ignore the fact that most of the autos going in the same direction as mine are occupied by just one person. Its’ strange that we all are going towards the same direction and the same destination but are stuck in the traffic because of too many vehicles. I often wonder if there is a solution to this enormous problem which causes so much of distress in our lives and ruins my mornings.

The road trip

That day I had lots of fun. It was a scary as well as a lovely experiences. it was on my tenth std farewell day, the first time I wore a saree and sat on a bike. My whole class went on bikes like some kind of bike expedition was going on as all the guys were riding in a line and the gals were sitting behind them. That day I missed an accident, even rode a bike for the first time and escaped policemen too. Back then traffic and choas was not on our minds it was all about having an amazing time unlike today. my first bike ride on the road was the most memorable moments of my life.
