I was so
frustrated yesterday… and then an interesting experience… no time since. Moment
passed… today as I scrolled randomly through Facebook and faces and places I haven’t
seen in years but still leave a warm feeling in the heart… last night’s chaos
and cruelty came back to me..
Delhi goes
mad with two drops of rain. Delhi is mental in peak office traffic… but peak
times are anytime of the day. Men give all this shit about women are so
arrogant and judgmental and feminist. Heck when did any of us say we were anti men?
Or help. Or bichaara???? Are we super human… No…. do we claim to be… no…. are
we dumb… no… so why would you think in peak traffic we would just take a siesta
and be having some random chat on the middle of the highway , when a three lane
is turned into a 7 lane????
Do I not have somewhere to get too???? So while I wonder
why my clutch has lost all play and what’s going on… you honk away, call me
names and look at me like I’m just another dumb ass woman driver??? Really!!! I
applaud the one guy who actually made the effort to get off his lazy ass and
come and cuss me with that operative question of … what is wrong with you ,
your holding up traffic… in my head I thought…. Aaah… just a lovely spot for a
cuppa tea… but I politely said… clutch gone… I can’t move this car on my own…
and really u want to give me that look… no man could either move this car on
their own… so you want to help ? didn’t say it… played the good ole bichaari
bhaiya ji card…traffic jam near andheria mode… don’t judge me… bhaiya ji is
what a delhi girl is all about right… #beingindian….. playing on the help me
card… so here is what he did… pushed it … wherever the car goes rest… screw it…
I can get my big SUV out! So I push said car after asking bystanders to stop
staring… called just dial, get a tow truck to finally come… while many a stare
at the stupid woman driver…. But here is a question for all my
opinionated male counterparts… if the clutch goes out on you what’s the
solution? My mechanic said you can do jackshit but tow the car to a workshop…
but if you have a solution let me know for next time… I got the best advice..of…
park on the side of the road , put the ac on in this heat and wait it out!
Nightmares
of people and their bad experiences … kept the windows down.. Knowing my bad
luck, expected electrical failure as well.. And with no Kada or hockey stick in
the car didn’t want to take the chance!!!!
So here
comes the good part… middle class and SUV clad swanky cars, drivers, men, women…
give a rat’s ass…. Tow truck man from Jharkhand looks surprised when I ask for
a ride in his truck but politely agrees…. Also is chivalrous and tells the
helper come navigator to ride in the back so I’m not uncomfortable, and when I climb
into his truck, tells said chap to shut the door for me… when some random
stranger is taking a picture of his number plate and I ask what’s going on , he
politely tells me, it may be someone who recognizes my car and is looking out
for my safety …” aapka koi jaan pehchaan ka hoga, aapka fikr kar rahaa hai”…
never saw that man in my life!!!!
When did you forget how everyone came rushing to help you out when you fell down a few stairs? When did you turn into such an angry opinionated moron??? Now now don’t get your knickers in a twist…. You really weren’t on that road crossing me… so what you guilty about?????
