long road home

the other day i had this terrible headache..it felt like ppl where using sledge hammers and banging my head from the top,left and right.so i decided to leave work early and get home to bed.. so i packed off from office at 6 pm.

I caught an auto at the gate and we bargained about the fare. I finally gave up due to my poor throbbing head..our man sets off at a slow 30kmph..the world is a happy place to be living in..suddenly there is an open strech of road and the auto hits atleast 60(i swear!!!!!!!!!!!) . Now I am obbsessively scared of fast traffic,so i clung for dear life to the bar/rod in front praying for dear life(also wondering y auto's dont come with seat belts ($$$***####) then a sudden break..

I am now gonna divert from the main story and give u a piece of information..the entire city of hyderabad(or atleast all the places that i have been to) is undergoing some road widening thingy. so basically its like half road.quarter -dug up item(for the lack of a better word) and another quarter-all that is dug up from that item..Now going back to the story....

My driver decides that he has had enuf waiting in the traffic so he cuts across to the road item on the other half.. so i am basically travelling on sand,pebbles and some other items of un-describable nature.. my headache has already gone up two notches.. Then a bus also decides to get into the cycle gap of non-road place and so there is a bus next to me also stuck in the jam...

again a digression.. have u ever wondered how the auto and bus manufacturers got together and decided to build their vehicles in such a way that the exhaust from the bus wud hit the face of the person sitting in the passenger part of an auto..i mean did they all get together, have a nice conference in goa or coorg or some beach resort/hill station and decide.."ah how can we make the life of our ppl more smoke filled" i am sure a lot of hardwork and design went into this.. the direction/position of the exhaust pipe from the bus is such that if an auto is parked next to it- surely the passengers must be treated to a breath of fresh diesel smoke!!!!!!!!!!!!

k back to the story..after breathing some loads of diesel from the bus next to me and also recieving my share of stare from the ppl of the bus my auto zooms off again in a gap so small that u cant even call it cycle gap.i really donno what he hoped to achieve coz no traffic was anyway moving.. and he chose all the bumps(actually here he isnt to blame-- he was riding on non-road place) and the hammers on my head jus got heavier.. let me talk to someone i thot..maybe it will be a diversion..so i tried calling a frnd..status-all lines on this route are busy..please try again later.. so it wasnt just the road-the airwaves were also jammed..(sorry cudnt resist the mokke) after a while i felt as if i was in a video game..u know the likes of midtown maddness or need for speed or road rash types.. i started feeling like the hero that a kid is playing around with using his joystick...
finally after abt an hour and a half of maddness and a whole lot of abuse my driver hurled at passers by i reached the supermarket close to my house..suddenly remembered that i need to buy dinner so i stopped him there,got out with a reeling.throbbing head and walked into the supermarket in a daze..

am sure most ppl can relate to this..also decided that i am bored of my home-sickness blogs.if u dint understand any of this its alrite..coz i made that entire journey with a throbbing head and eyes shut most of the way
