Well let me start by giving a background .......... I needed to go to Pune to give my CAT exam (cmon ........... I did not ask for the center there now!) and then had to attend my cousin's wedding in the evening the same day (18/11/07, Sunday).
16/11/07, Friday:
I am in my cubicle waiting for the watch to hit 6. Basically that meant I could go to the foodcourt with my friends Hetal, Reeti and Upamanyu since Hets and Reetz had gone for some Salsa classes. Now you know sometimes you just feel that you want to something to go wrong ........... just to have some sort of an adventure you know. Well, something like that happened to me. At 6.03 pm, I realised that I had forgotten my hall ticket at home. The bus was due at 7 pm and it takes 20 mins one way to go home from office one way.
So I called up Upam and ran towards the gate. Sweat was running from head to toe, well it was mostly because of all the running I had done with my bags than with the fear of missing the bus. If you ask me if I missed the bus I would have happily gone home, atleast I would have an excuse to miss the test. Anyway Upam rode his bike to the limits twisting and twirling through the corners. It was definitely have given Valentino Rossi a huge complex. Apart from the fact that all this was happenening at 40 km/hr or slower it was all ok. Well finally I reached home ran upstairs to pick up the hall ticket (I was actually trying to remember where it was all through the journey) and at home I see no lock. I wondered who came home so early and then to my horror I remembered that my friend Gaurav was snoozing at home all this while. Well no time to call him up and get my hall ticket now I guess so I simply ran inside and outside, I remember hearing muffled voices of Gaurav and Sneha (my other friend/neighbour whose parents had come) wishing me luck. Well then caught a rick which was easily beating Upam's top speed (which went upto 50 if I remember :) ......... Upam is gonna whack me when he reads this :)) and I reached the stop and the bus on time. Phew!!
17/11/07 Saturday:
You've heard the phrase "Where everything has to go wrong, nothing goes right." (Well if you haven't you have now.) The bus scheduled to reach at 6.30 reached before ............... 9.30! I had already called my friend Durvesh to pick me up. He had come with Swapnil's bike, wearing all gloves an all. The bike looked decent ........... well who knew what it was going to go thru in the next few days. Well did nothing much normal chit chat, called up Hyd and wish all good luck. Another of our friends Nikhil came over in the evening which meant more chit and chat and predominantly football. Finally watched Goal II at night (nice movie ............... must watch for a football fan .......... now does anyone have the CD of Goal I I haven't watched it!) Then I was off to sleep to be prepared for the big next day. Well I donno if it was big but it was definitely another adventure for me ....................
to be continued.........
