My 3rd semester is over and I am back home sweet home :). I donno how the hell i managed to come back home yesterday. It was my last exam yesterday. So as always during the exam times...I am stressed out and I don't sleep all to well. After the exam the events were all a blur. My stomach was grumbling as I hadn't eaten anything and since it was our last time together, all my classmates and I decided to have lunch together. By the time everyone gathered together it was already 3 and i had a train to catch at 5.25!!!! We all said our teary goodbye and I ran (not practically...but I took an auto...I know...no need to give me a "Oh she didn't take an auto all the way till the railway station" look..coz I DID!!!!!) for my train. After I reached the station I was exhausted from the lack of sleep and hypoglycemia(yea I know I just ate lunch but still I was damn hungry)!!!! The train was half an hour late and I had to stand there the whole while!!!! After I got into the train I slept for a good half an hour but my sleep was disturbed when a guy came and sat next to me and took of his shoes!!! GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it STUNK sooooo BADLY!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God I got the window seat...I was practically gasping for air. And after 3 painful hours I reached my hometown only to see it was raining so badly and I didnt have an umbrella. Even my caretaker who came to pick me up forgot to take an umbrella!!! Jeeessss could my day get any worse. So at 10 in the night I was drenched in the rain waiting for an auto driver to show some mercy and get me home!!!!!!!! after what seemed like 10 mins an auto driver stopped. I was freezing and today when I woke up....ACHOOOO!!!!! I got cold :(
Well even if I was having a cold I decided I would go out and shop for groceries. And I thought since i had a license and our car was rusting away in the garage I would drive there; When I presented this idea to my grandma..she was like oh well take kiran (my cousin) with you...and ask amma...and I called amma up. This is how the conversation went:-
Me - yea amma, I am going out grocery shopping and I am taking the care with me.
Amma (laughing) - yea right!!!
Me - No I am serious. Why cant i take the car out. I have got a license for god sake!!!
Amma - Ammama won't allow ( with confidence)
Me - Haha!!! Ammama said I can go!!!! And I will take kiran with me
Amma - (surprised) Oh......Oh.....Oh...........Well then i guess u better be careful!!!!
And that was that. I was taking the car out. I must give it to kiran for being the dare devil to come a ride with me. When i sat down in the car..i kinda forgot what i was supposed to do. I called kiran up and asked him. He was also out of touch with driving. We both started discussing all the essential point and in 2 minutes I was up and ready to go...or so i thought!!! It took me like 5 failed attempt to take a reverse and get the car out into the road...by which point all the angry drivers were honking their horns furiously at me. In my defense their honking made me nervous and that is what lead me to my failed attempt. After the first 10 mins...i FINALLY managed to get the car out on to the road. and from there it was a smooth drive...or so i thought!!!! I was sooo damn scared and kiran kept saying if ever you hit a car...make sure you hit it towards your side...i still wanna live!!! Oh kiri!!!! i kept driving in the second gear and because of my speed it took me like 3 traffic signals to pass a crossing (in my defense the signal time was only 15 seconds....how the hell do you expect to me cross in 15 seconds!!). after that kiran asked me to shift to 3rd gear...i told him noo it is hard to shift back to 2nd gear and i will get all confused!! so he told me stamp on the clutch and he changed the gear for me like twice lol!!! Thank god my fellow drivers had patience with me!! But I still managed to drive to different locations and successfully park and then come back alive in one piece. When i returned my grandma was relieved!! lol...it was funny. Phew now that is over... will i drive again??? I doubt it!!!
