The Auto ride
This day was worthy to be written in this diary. The day was pretty ordinary with usual work nothing interesting. But as the sun set and the moon took its rightful position up in the sky we knew there was something round the corner. We hired this auto to get us home and it started off pretty smoothly. We dropped a friend off first on the way and as we traveled towards home the auto we were in started slowing down.
We traveled quite a distance even then thanks to the fighting spirit of the driver.Rain lashed the city yesterday making it even more difficult to travel on the roads which were covered with knee deep water. However our man dint give up and made it a point to come as close as possible to avoid the inconvenience of another auto being hired. It was a good three Kilometers away when we had the first glitch. The auto stopped. We were sitting inside the auto waiting patiently for it to move. First try- Second Try- Third Try and the auto refused to budge. We were still waiting patiently inside as excited as ever for some miracle to happen. Then couple if minutes later miraculosly started. We travelled another 500 meters and then it stopped again. Oh No we thought will we ever be able to reach home correctly in this auto. He stopped again. Waited for awhile and tried to start again same thing. It refused to go until the third try and even then after another 500 meters it stopped again. DRAT!! We thought what is going to happen now. He rolled up his pants went out in the rain like a hero and checked the vehicle. Amazing we thought when there was not a pedestrian on the road our man waded in the knee deep water and checked his vehicle. It was then that he gave us the bad news.

Looks like you need to get another ride. Now when he got out of the ride onto the merciless rain we were only thinking how could we do the same. Call upon call our phones started buzzing. Parents asking where I was. In his case it was his brother. I will take awhile I said. After we hung up we mustered courage and stepped out. Slowly hopping skipping and jumping we made our way home and then we realised that we had walked a good 2 kilometeres to get there. Once we were home we heaved a sigh of relief.That was one crazy helluva ride. A crazy day for sure.
