Prologue:
Every morning, my friend and her hubby leave to office together and they hit the hubby's office first, where my friend gets down and takes a rick to hers from there.
The events on that particular day:
That particular day, none of the ricks were ready to take her to residency road( that is where her office is located.) After 5 rick walaas refused the 6th one agreed to go. Happy on that note she jumped into the rick and went to the office.
Her observations in the rick:
1> The auto waala looked like a rowdy.
(I must say she's pretty good at face reading, for, she told me she'd do that to those autowala's before getting into any of the ricks. If one has scary looks, she wouldn't get in. But on that day, she forgot to carry out that routine. )
2> To her surprise, the guy had a whistle in his mouth... A bright "RED" one!!!
3> He blew it continuously all the way to her office.
4> He scratched his head every now and then.
5> On stopping at a signal, a biker saw this rare thing and apparantly started laughing. The rick walaa badly angered, "phiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"ed the whistle right on the biker's face.
6> Finally reached the office. The rick waala shouted at my friend for the auto fare.
Her reactions:
1> She was totally confused, scared as it was quite awkward for a "grown up" rick waala to blow a whistle that even children refuse to play with these days.
2> The "RED" color of it, drained the color in her :P
3> "Oh man!!!, this guy looks like a thug..." Cursed herself badly for skipping the face - reading routine ;)
4> Very eagerly waited to get out of it.
5> The rick finally stopped in front of her office. She was sooo scared that she left the money on the meter (and rick guy hadn't noticed that) and plunged out of it and sprinted. And it was quite natural that he thought she was running away without paying the fare and he too started running after her. :D :D :D What a scene that would have been!!! :P :P
6> She shouted back to him telling him to find the money on the meter and disappeared...
Her descriptions as told to me:
1> "face mele kich kich". Only God knows what it meant :P I've only heard of "throat nalli kich kich"
2> "Olle tall dappa" :D
3> "vadak vadak mukha" - Well, this is dharwad kannada.. I again have no clue what that meant. :(
Her conclusion:
The title says it all!!! She came across a lunatic early in the morning and she experienced quite a "serious comedy"
The ultimate truth:
Well, the fact was, the rick she got into did not have a HORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hence the whistle!!!
Closing note:
One of my friends drives his bike without a horn... I take this opportunity to suggest him using a prop like this but with a change... Use a "YELLOW" one instead (That goes well with the color of your helmet)!!! :D :P ;)
PS: The title of this post was forced upon me by the victim of this little incident!!! The english translation would be - " An encounter with a lunatic - mor morning".. Oops i cant help it!! ;)
