Taxi no. KA-02 AC-4719

"Nai saahab,  yahan aisa nahi hai.... Dilli ke taxi waala thagta...  " ... "ac lagaa de " ... " Ac nahi lag sakta. Ac lagega toh 500 rupiyaa aur lagega.. " ... "paison ke peeche padaa hai itni der se... Tu lagaa toh sahi ac " ... "Nahi. ..2200 se phir 2500 ho jaayega...  " And on the way, he applied breaks at a petrol pump. Asked for money. "1000". Fine! Reached the destination and the driver was paid Rs.2200. He reversed quickly and off he 'dhoomed' his Indica. .... The 'dagaabaaz' driver had vanished till the time it was realized that he was to be paid only Rs.1100 more since a 'red' note had already been taken off the wallet!   Inspired from a true incidence in Mysore.

SUNDAY, 07:00 pm Tired of History, I thought I should take a nap. " Anu...Wake me up when four of you will go to the mess for dinner .." Anu- " Hmm...alright " Around 7:40 , five of us- Anubhuti, Varnika, Meghna, Kavita and Vidisha (me), went downstairs for the dinner. Our mess timings begin from 07:00 but we usually go for it around 07:30.  Back from dinner, I began with history again. I was left with Islamic Architecture, Jain, Dravidian and Hindu Architecture and I ,actually we (Meghna, Kavita and me), had one night left.  Its the end-semester exam that I am talking about. Anubhuti and Varnika had their Maths exam. SUNDAY, around 08:00 pm or 08:15 pm Mom gave a call . "Prepared....Sleep well one night before exam.... don't stay awake beyond 11pm...can wake up early around 4 am or 5am but sleep on time.....all the best...study hard...." And I thought to myself :- "How do I sleep?" .... "....that too on time..!" #zoke
