Time was around 10 pm.. The traffic was almost negligible.. And then suddenly out of the blue, a dude type guy in an accent made a sharp cut in front of my car. If you belong to the breed of people who love machines more than humans, this is a certain call for - Wanna race?
And then there we were ... pushing the cars to the limits, on high speeds, almost driving neck to neck. It wasn't a race but yeah driving fast, with cool breeze hitting the face and a conscious effort to not let the other person go ahead.. Suddenly it sprang to my mind that maybe i left my credit card in the food court !! I immediately pressed the clutch and shifted the gear to neutral. (Wanted to check if its in my wallet or should i call the bank people to block it!) And obviously the accent guy zoomed ahead as he was going full throttle!
Much to my surprise, the guy had stopped some 100 meters ahead! It is when i started the car again after finding my credit card stored safely in the wallet, he waived to ask if all set, when i said yes, he gave a thumbs up and sped off again! A race is a race of-course! :D But then you rarely get a chance to race with such gentlemen these days! Ask me, and there is a good 75% chance that i wouldn't have stopped to check and would have done my winning dance sitting inside the car!
If by any chance you read this blog, hats off to you Sir!
