Its 14 July 2008, I got up on this lazy morning at 7:30 AM when it was drizzling outside with a lazy humming sound too... :-) [So much of laziness around ME.. whose life is never short of adventures ;-)]. I guess, I should have guessed it right here that there is something in store for me which will jerk me out of my laziness... :-o [but it had to be this way......lets read on...]. Well, I was having a quiet and a normal day.. I wanted it this way today..So I didnot listen to FM today like I ususally do every morning... Today, I did not switch on TV to listen to any songs either.. or watch any of my favorite cartoon... [All this effort only to have a normal day like anybody else in this entire huge world ... :-). Well, how dare I thought it would be so too...]. Newaz.. after I got ready for my morning bus to the office... Ihad to rush at it was already 8:33 and I had to get out of my home at 8:35 AM if I had to amke it on time for the bus. But.. My ID Card was missing.. I sat down and tried hard to recollect where I had put it... and after some search here and ther I found it in one of the pockets of my bag that I had taken to my Didi's house this weekend. [But ofcourse, mere bag ki jis pocket me ID card tha wo maine sabse lst mein check ki.. agar is pocket mein nahi milta to I had to go to office without an ID card :-(...] Well, I did manage to lock my home and get out at 8:35 AM. While i reached the ground floor, I realized that I had not taken my umbrella and it was raining while I was leaving for my bus. :-(..
Sad... but i had to rush up till 3 floor by staircase and open my door, then open my cupboard.. then open my drawer and search for my umbrella...[Ofcourse I dint find it in my first search]. So I decided to switch on the lights and search again.. luckily I did find it this time and hurried out without forgetting to switch off the lights [Wow..what an achievement ]... but forgot to close the drawer and the cupboard [Now,.. tats so typical of me :-(..]. But, never the less, I did rush out of my house, managed to lock the door atleast.. and get out only 3 minutes late.. I reached my bus stop and saw that one bus of Amdocs was leaving just as I reached. I thought now there must be some another Amdocs bus which must be coming behind so I didnot take much tension. And lucky for me again.. when I turned back I saw another bus and saw some people climbing in it. So I joined them and closed my umbrella. Luckily I found a front seat too (in second row of the bus) and I made myself comfortable there [:-).. Don't you think I was being very lucky today...]. Well, I thought so and I did manage to Thank God that I made it safe and on time.. Then the bus journey continues... It stopped at iis usual stoppages and collected people on its way.. By the time the bus reached Big Bazaar, I was enjoying the view outside.. people rushing here n there with their umbrellas.. trying to get an auto or their bus etc.. While our bus was taking a turn, I saw another bus which was of Navy Blue colour.. it had a symbol of '>' on it... I was trying to guess the company's name to which this bus belongs to... While I was about to decide so, I tried hard to remeber where I had seen this Symbol before... and as I was in the process of thinking.. my eyes went wide open on seeing the same Symbol in front of my eyes..
Wow..no Baap re... :-(.. The bus where I was seated had the same Symbol which I was trying to Guess!!!!... Then I saw a few people getting inside the bus with an ID card around their neck, that in no was like the ID card I had in my purse :-(... I am not kidding when I say that I literally had to pinch me ... I thought I am caught in some BAD DREAM.. its just a night mare and whn I will get up I will realize that its just another day... But when I woke to my own pinch.. I was still in that NAVY BUS with ">" sybol on it....
Now... the situaton struck me.. there were people who were staring at me... [I dunt know if they really were.. but I could feel so..much of embarassment.. that i thought they must be staring at me]. I took out my cell, and messaged my friend about my current situation.. I dint know what to do now.. Boy.. have you ever been in this situation.. [Believe me I am not lying when I say that I pray you should never fall in my place like this..]. Well, I thought very hard what to do now. I thought of getting down too.. but then that would confirm that I was stupid to climb on wrong bus.. that would confirm my STUPID action of ABSENTMINDEDNESS.. :-(... So i did not get down. But I was not sure also, which company's bus I was on..where would this bus go.. till now it was following the same route as my bus.. So NOW I was praying that this bus goes to MAGARPATTA.. [There were temples on the route and I did pray very hard that this bus should go to Magarpatta atleast..]. I never once turned my head to look at any face around me.. So, that nobody ever remeber's my face whenever or if ever they see me some other day than today outside anywhere else.. :-( they should not recognize me ... :-P. Well.. to my fortune, to my luck, and in answer to all my prayeres... the bus did go to magarpatta.... and it did go to Tower-5. Which had names of different companies on it... and then I saw the name "Accenture" and realized that the symbol ">" was Accenture's logo symbolising "High Performance Delivered"...
Well, as the bus stopped in front of Tower -5, I got down from bus [again hiding my face]. I was playing with my cell and made a call to my friend and started walking in the opposite direction of the remaining other people who got down from the bus :-). When I reached Tower-2 I removed my ID card and got into my office... :-)..
I guess, now I was having a feeling that this is just like any another ususal day of my life... full of embarassing moments.. full of kaands.. full of not so normal, not so quiet... but an adveture ;-).. to begin my day !!!! [ While chatting with my friend and narrating my entire episode I did have a question in my mind.. WHY DOES GOD CHOOSE ME of all the available population as his FAVORITE BAKRA... !!!!
