Ive been trying to write this piece for some time so its about three months old.
"@#$$@#" i mumbled to myself. i hate Bangalore autowalas, well i had left work late at night and these autowalas were asking like almost a 100 bucks for barely a 4 kilometer trip, and to top it all it had started raining and i resigned my self to a long walk home. then i saw this girl, standing a little down the road and trying down to flag an auto, too. i didnt give it much thought and started my hike. but as i passed her another auto stopped and we told him our destination at the same time which coincidentally were close by so i suggested we share an auto and pay the preposterous amount they were quoting , it was ten in the night and we were getting wet and hungry,but when they saw two of us together the prices went up accordingly, we we then decided to take a walk, we got to talking and we realized that we had a lot in common. She was a Mallu working in oracle, and was living barely a kilometer from my place, we ultimately hitched a ride on a returning cab from one of the thousands that roam Bangalore, shuttling Staff of one multinational or the other, half way into our trek. drenched and soaked to the bone we gratefully climbed into the back of the cab and settled down for the journey down Airport Road. we got of at Domlur and we went our separate ways. i thought she was smart, talented and intelligent. I really liked her and I thought I had gained her as another friend in this city.
Well it wasn't meant to be i called her a few days after the walk in the night. but she told me that she had too many friends and didn't want another one and any way she didn't like coffee much. so hey If your reading this it was fun to take a walk in the rain and i still think you should have taken my jacket it would have kept you slightly dry and oh I'm sorry i think that i blabbered a lot that day.

hm.. she lost a good friend, if i say :)
Very interesting read... must've been some experience... :) I always say life is "FILMY"... no one gets it.. Anyways, hope she DOES read it and realise the fact that someone special thought her to be special and worth remembering... :)
i hate bangalore autowallas too ,they should all be lined up and collectively kicked.
