It was one of those July evening..it was raining but still it was sunshine ! I was waiting for a free lift on ma way back from work but had a real tough luck. A loaded auto was approaching towards me from the Infy gate. Due to some strange reason,his headlights were on even though he was moving towards the setting sun with all sunrays on his windshield !
Strange ,I thought.
That being my only hope,I waved my hands desperately for a lift.
But something came to his mind that I couldnt get even today.
He switched off his headlight in response,gave me a red-teeth smile in return and drove away pleasantly.
Great sense of humor..!!
...
I had a feel that I can't eat this chloromint today.No way I can do it. Nah! It cant be done.Something got in ma head.Aaj to khake hi rahenge!! So I turned out to be extra cautious.Neatly removed the pack,put that in my mouth with great care from a strong finger hold.No risks involved. Clear game.Aha! I thought..
I pumped my fists,I finally beat my instincts.."Yes!"
"SIR YOUR ID PLS.."
"Fuck !",I said
Glop! The chloromint popped out of my mouth.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" (visibly louder )
Damn those insticts man!
...
"Forty-five bucks,Sir"
I paid him off and waited for the change.
The dinner crowd of 'Mahesh' is not something you can really boost of. Fascinated by the rush of public hunger,I was amuused waiting & as well clearing my post-dinner fingers,all happily orange now( for the so called remnants of the historic 'Sambar') with a tissue.I was about to put the five rupees change back in ma pocket.
It was then the lightning stroke ma head!! I realised,I was rubbing my hands with the Rs 5/- note( all blackish orange by then) and the tissue was neatly folded in ma wallet.
God help me.I was literally shocked to see the red teeth auto-driver now sitting in that counter with a red smile for me!!

P.S: Still looking for the person who once rightly said" You better know..you are hopeless! "
