around four yrs back a young fat boy , with a faint hint of a mush , got on his scooterette to leave for school . his head was filled wit tgts of the test on organic chemistry he had that day , and chemistry u see wasnt his fav subject .
wen he got to school , his hair was standin at right angles , his mouth was drier than the atacamas , and he was shaking a little .
cuz smthn had happened on the way , that i cant mention for security reasons . but to give u a clue , it had smthn to do with a three wheeled machine with a considerable amt of homo sapiens in it , driving into him at a relatively high speed .
it also involved that certain three wheeled machine , along with its inhabitants , finding itself head over wheels , after contact with the scooterette !
and it involved the chappie with the faint mush , the rider of the latter , running away out of fear and confusion ( only after he made sure all were safe , and tat there were ppl to take care , and that he was indeed in one piece ) !
well if u had not guessed it yet , tat unfortunate (2 have met wit the acci) and fortunate ( to have lkived to write abt it ) bloke was me !!
the next day , a lil shaken by the events , i went to school .
and on the way , at around 178 meters frm me , i saw a cop , with the veerappan mush and the jazz , signalling to stop .
i don rem where in the middle of the head rush , the excessive palpitation , and dangerous levels of dehydration , i had figured it .
but i figured that someone had noted my no. or found out abt me , and the president had sent for a special team to hunt me down . i had committed no mistake , but no one wud understand . they wud prove tat i was guilty . and they wud imprison me and then maybe hang me !
it also meant not having to ever recieve the corrected test paper on organic chem i'd written the day before in the shaken condition , but it dint really matter much then .
i was going to die . the headlines wud read , " juvenile held for murder of many inhabitants of a three wheeled machine . to be hanged . "
it was all over . so suddenly . my career . my non existent love life . my chances of ever having sex . my life !!
may be i cud still escape . if i took the next left and then the third right and went straight for abt 3000 kms in my scooterette , i cud reach china .
maybe i cud start a new life there all together . i wud sell the scooterette and start a new biz . it ll run cuz ppl love anytin tats international . i wud become rich . they wud call me the rich-indi . i wud be the most popular , cuz i'll be diff . chicks wud totally dig it . maybe i wud do IT . tats was it . china was the ans . and for that i'd to take the next left !
and then i realised tat in all the planning , i'd missed it !!
now there was no escape .
i was doomed .
my heartrate multiplied 23 times . i cud almost here an artery burst .
and then i stopped the bike , right in front of the cop and held my hands fwd to be handcuffed !
he acted in a funny way tho . he got on to my bike . and said ,
" saar , adatte signal le drop panningla please "
<< sir , pls drop me at the next signal >>
------
fast fwd , 4 years hence .
status : never been caught by cop , for drivin or other wise !
tired of the timer games played at the signbal , i push the throttle at the count of 02 secs remaining .
was to take the immediate left .
as soon as i negotiated the tough turn , i realised that it was NOT a free left .
i was not sure if the signal was on .
but there was no way to tell , cuz of the bad traffic , and the vehicles on the wrong side .
i took the turn .
and there he was , pandu hawaldar .
white dress , veerappan mush , whistle in the mouth , signalling me to stop .
i stopped the bike . at some distance . he came running behind .
great !!
now i wud have to negotiate wit him in tamil .
he will start with Rs. 5000 . I will say 50 . we'll finally settle for 100 .
my last 100 rs bill , for the month was to part !
he gets on to my bike . and sez ,
