bangalore Blues

well this is one thing that all bangaloreans will vouch for.... the neverending trauma of transport woes...This morning i had to get to mission road from koramangala.... the king of karntaka roads, the powerful autorickshaw raja twirled his veerappan mustache at me n unceremoniusly bellowed,"NOOOOO". My stomach travelled all the way upto my heart n i busrt into a fit of my famous coughs....in sheer desperation i approached another twenty of the same smug bullies... They all seemed to have donned their sadistic gear... realising that i had no chance of getting anywhere remotely close to mission road... i tried to experiment with these tormenting souls...
The incredible miss Ramya: "Bhaiyya, mission road chalenge?"
The Horrible bully:" Nahin madam"
Me:" Shantinagar?"
He:(sprawling on the miniscule leather seat)" Nahin maa"
Me: " Forum"
He:"No"
Me: "Garuda mall?"
he; No
Me:" aap kahan jaane ke liye tayyar hain??"
His look reminds of all those terrifying monsters from spiritus mundi. I can feel the anger pouring forth in gallons!But THIS TIME i feel the triumph... the all consuming glory of having walked away the winner in this timeless verbal duel..... absolutely fabulous!!
