Where does this journey take me?
Its 2 in the morning but still not asleep. I lie on bed trying to read this amazing novel making every minute more intense. As time ticks I realise that we have a lab session and my works incomplete! Ah! no big deal.... after all its just my routine to get up early that day and fill pages. Thinking about it I go to bed at 3 hoping to get up at 6. The damn alarm never rings at 6... manage to get up at 7 ! phew! Even this makes me stay cool. Still half asleep I manage to get my record and some lousy pen lying beside it and begin entering values, each seeming unexpectionally new! Realise its 7:45 and I need to leave to college with my record work half complete! Just before leaving ,I glance through the class schedule and realise that i cant write in any of the classes before lab without my book getting confiscated..Ha who cares anywayz??
As I begin looking for the bike key, several curses start boggling in my head while huntin for it. Various thoughts start popping in my head including "did u steal my key?" just to realise its lying under the blanket on my bed.. damn all this had to happen today! Within seconds of grabbing the key and putting on my uniform (which includes my great identity card, my glasses , my watch and a couple of inkless pens) , I rush towards the bike just to realise I am out of fuel! Oh man !! Its 8:10 and all I hear is mom saying "You deserve this!"--solid encouragement! And now wallet gets empty as well.. I need to drop by at the atm and get my bike refueled and realise that the pointer is just above the red... and thank myself for buying this bike! Ok, off I go through the green parks of ISRO layout to enter the diseased part of Bangalore!
First stop-Kadrenahalli junction traffic signal where all the bus and lorry drivers assume to be the new traffic constables of the city making their own set of rules!According to official calculations I need to take 5 min to get here and 20 seconds at this damn signal! Its finally green and as I zip past huts, I just realise the c++ lecturer will not let me in beyond 8:30.. crap!
Second stop-The beloved DG petrol bunk where traffic is hell.. generally wait for 2 signals but in very critical situations like these none! Breaking all rules and nearly banging into everyone on the road fly past the "100 ft ring road" cursing every bus driver who re-designs every bus stop possible on the road!
Third stop-The food world junction where the road becomes the craters identical twin! With every other goof riding even on the footpath and honking for no reason at all, I realise its 8:25! Shit just 5 more minutes!
Fourth (and hopefully the final) stop: The HP Petrol station where the BMP designers have displayed maximum intelligence of setting up a speed breaker just after the signal. This junction is taken care of by some traffic constable who seems to live on bribes scratching himself at every body part possible in public! OMG... what life! Three more minutes to go and this dumb looking police guy lazily lifts one finger letting us go straight to meet that hump! Curses! Cant people have more sense? Finally come towards college where the auto drivers display their road sense accompanied by whistling of the security guards! Now this makes my day!
Without another word I realise I am late... I see a couple of my classmates rushing to class... join them and enter class... realise lecturer is in a good mood and lets us in! Oh damn! The record is incomplete! Idea strikes! Will miss the next two classes and finish them.... So I miss the next two and finally finish the record just to get every damn filled page signed!
This incident took place almost every week until I got attendance shortage in the two classes I missed! Never mind... I started missing the c++ classes now and I dont really know how long this new plan is gonna last.... where am I going with this?
The most interesting part is that I never realise or learn from these incidents... probably because I realise the saying "All is well that ends well!" far too well!
"If u say ur defeated ur gone... if u still have hopes of a man coming alive after hez dead, ur stupid... if u realise u still have a point to prove in a confused life... ur worth a zillion dollars!"
