Today the weather was very cute, it was drizzling very lightly (i.e. it doesnt drench you, but gives you the chills :D ), there was no sun, and roads were washed and in these times Bangalore always looked beautiful, as it did today.
My scooter was with my bro and I wanted to return home little early from work, so decided to take an auto. My bro suggested me to wait so that he will pick me up on his way back, but I had other plans (wanted to play my guitar and watch TV, didnt feel like working, thinking of the three day holiday).
(Side note: Mazhaiye Mazhaiye song from Eeram is going on in SS Music, my current hot fav song.. and guess what, it is raining there too :D )
So I come out and thought what a nice day for a long walk, but since I wasnt wearing the proper shoes (I had an accident once and from them on only a particular type of shoes/chappals are suited for my walks, any hard one will create pain in my feet) I tried to find an auto. One autorickshaw came and the driver asked me the place. And I told him. Well he didnt seem to know the place exactly. So I explained him telling him the nearest landmark. He said he would come and he didnt even cross 2 streets then he suddenly said that the gas might be off and stopped the vehicle and asked me to get another auto and charged 5Rs. When I questioned why should I pay him, he again asked me the route and when I explained him one more time, he said ok let me drop you anyway and started again. All the way he was asking too much questions about my nativity, my work etc etc.. and almost 1 km before my home, he suddenly stopped and said that petrol got over. Well he definitely wasnt in a mood to drop me home from the beginning. On the top of all these he refused to give me Rs 3 change. God..
The only silver lining here was that I got to go for a walk, even if with the hard shoes I was wearing, in the wonderful drizzling climate.
My mistake: I should have left that autofellow and got another auto at the first time when he said that the gas was over. Just because he got convinced that my home was far enough I took his word and carried on in the same auto.
This situation of mine isnt any different from my life. But atleast I got to do what I wanted to do (A Walk in the Clouds :D)
I believe to see that my glass is always half full
