POTATOE

No.....there is no spelling mistake in the post title.

She is riding her Speedy (her bike), zooming away with the wind that blows the few stray trendils that have escaped from her scarf. A helmet she does not wear as its against the trend !!!! "Mamas don't catch us pretty ladies in scarves you see...we make Mumbai lively!!" that is what she always says!!

Ignorant to stares and leers coming her way she zooms past on her Speedy...eager to reach home and soak her weary bones in a tubfull of warm scented water..

She is trying to concentrate on th road and traffic ahead but wandering thoughts make the task difficult.......An induction tomorrow.....mails to be sent....flip presentation's not ready...what will K think bout the questionnaire ive prepared....just 7 more mins and i'l be home :-)

God.....why is this aunty on the bike ahead riding like this?? guess she is a novice...yes she defi is!!! HHHHOOLLLLLLLLYYYYY CCOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR.....................CCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.................

BBBBBAAAAAANNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

baapre giri.....dekho ladki ko.....accident hua accident hua!!!!!!

Madam aap theek ho?? madam?? laga kya??

Wheres my bike????

Madam aap tau theek hona

WHERE IS MY BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (flip my purse and laptop are on it....hope nobody takes those !!!!)

Don't worry madam bike side mein lagaya hain!!

Side mein??? she tries to get up but her feet are positioned akwardly on the ground....

Madam jyada chote lagi????

Bhaiya......mera dono Shoes toot gaya :-(

(Yeh ladki ko sar pe tau chote nahin lagi na???).....Koi baat nahin madam aap tau thik ho!!!

Several people come to help...finally she gets up minus her shoes which look worse for wear now and looks around.......Eyes everywhere!!!! Concerned....Worried....Sympathic....Curious EYES !!!!

She wrenches the scarf which she is still wearing and wipes away the sweat that has beaded on her forehead...she picks up her shoes...walks towards her Speedywhich looks hurt as well. Shoes in the trunk, she stands beside her bike guarding her laptop and purse.

(why does my toe feel sticky????......... FLIP its bleeding......not just bleeding but bleeding profusely.)

A lady who has rushed forward to help her starts looking comical...as if shes about to FAINT???? HELLOOOOO that should be my ACT na??? Aunty....Aunty!!!! dont worry im alrite..its just bruised not brrrrookkkkeennn (who am I trying to console....her or myself??)

She tries moving her toe...which has by now become the size of a Lemon.....

AAAAAHHHHH....painful but movable all the same....a small smile breaks on her lips. A prayer of thanks escapes her lips, welcoming the pain which makes her feel alive!!! she looks around. A person comes running towards her...(Do I know him...ya he is that Xerox guy...N's dad knows him very well!!)

Don't worry madam...your father is on his way...have called him!!!

FATHER???? how does he know my father??? did my cell fall from my purse??? NO the zip is still closed!!! THEN???? arreee baba whom did you call??

You are B's daughter N na??? NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!! N is my friend (N and myself could pass as sisters you see)

GOD what a MESS...................BIG ******** MESS !!!!!!!!!!!

She makes a call to her brother asking him to come asap (I will kill you if you say anything to mom or dad..JUST COME PLEASE :-( ) She then dials N's no. from her cell..but no use :-(......N's mother is coming running from across the street (they stay pretty close from where the accident took place) looking as if even wild horses couldn't stop her...

Sorry Aunty its ME!!!! oh dear I see tears in her eyes.....are they tears of relief??? YES !!! but again concern and fresh grieved tears begin to cloud her eyes...tears for my pain :-(

She's trying to convince aunty when she sees more people coming her way.... N's dad...her bro's fiance....some other relative.....surrounded by all she now begins to feel guilty....

By now her TOE has started looking just like her shoes....WORSE FOR WEAR !!!! the swelling and blood has made it beyond recognition.. (This is how yokozuna's toe must be lookin...haahaha....I have a POTATOE...hahaha). She is smiling to herself thus once again inviting curious glances from all making them wonder once more...HAS SHE????? ;-)

A chemist offers some gauze and tape to stop the blood from her POTATOE...

Some offer water....lemon...lemon sweet..all are very helpful

Their help extends to offering COKE and PEPSI as well !!!!!

Water and lemon is fine but COKE???? PEPSI??????? HELLOOOO ive just had a fall remember???? GOD!!!!

N comes with her husband and I repeat my dramatic fall's stroy...we both have a good laugh over it..the fall, my shoes...and my POTATOE :-) (By now she is feeling much much better...guess being with familiar faces has dne the trick)

Her bro arrives !!!!!!!! ....looks at her and laughs.........LAUGHS??????? YES!!!!

Wov SIS, you are the star of the evening...when I had had a fall there was just a policeman near me and you??? you have almost the whole area with you!!!! gr8

We both smile...and both give each other looks which say something altogether different...no at all humorous. His says "Am glad ur not hurt bad sis" and and Her's, "lets go home..hope u've not told the folks anything"

She thanks almost everyone out there...whether they had helped or not.......she is glad just for their presence and support too!! With several adivses of "do not put your toe in water....go to a doc NOW.....take injection.....go to temple and thank god!!"...she is ready to make the grand exit!!

And off she speeds away once again on her Speedy....this time in the pillion seat :-)

One fall a day is ENOUGH!!!

The story of a girl who has a fall from her bike
Regains her senses....and the first thing that strikes
ohhhh...Both my shoes have broken and wheres my laptop...does anyone know??
All bones are intact but she lands up with a POTATOE!!!!

MegaBlog???....ooppsss Block??????

Rise and Shine!!!!!!!!!!!! todays begun just like any other day.......but that laziness one feels on a sunday is lingering at the back of my mind. But HEEEEYYYYYYY I remember I'm off to Andheri in afternoon to meet Goldilocks!!

All hell breaks loose when I tell my family about goin to andheri...WHY???????? theres a MEGABLOCK!!!!!! Tough luck...no amount of hiding news papers or fliping news channels has helped...come on guys I am going to Andheri not America. Thus follow a series of "Don't you know trains are running EXTREMELY late??" , "What if they decide to stop the train midway??" , "What if the trains get cancelled altogether in the evening??" and Bla Bla..

Finally somehow they get convinced with promises on my part not to Jump outta the train if it stops and to call them every hour updating them on my wherebouts.....GOD!!!!! the so called megablock is on the track not roads and call every hour?? But im happy to get the much required permission and wouldve agreed to callin every 5 mins too!!! :-) just kiddin...

An hr has already passed in this rutho manao giri and I try to run against time doing ten thousand things..........

Press Your Clothes while the Iron is Hot.........I'm doing just that. Ironing away to glory and humming some song I realise I have just 1 Hr to leave the house when all off a sudden......CCCCCCCRRRRRRR........CCCCCCRRRRRR followed by a smell of fire crackers!!!!!! Firecrackers???? OHHHHHH MYYYYYYY GGOOODDD!!!!!! FIRE!!!! The iron plug socket is throwing fiery sparks reminding me of some chinese dragon spitting fire .......HOLY SMOKE!!(in the literal sense)..hence follows a string of shrieks and yells which brings my family to my rescue.........RESCUED ;-) (A lill elaborated version tat was but happened all the same)

Finally dressed in a half pressed attire and only 10 mins late I bid my goodbyes to all at home...

Am actually a lill nervous as I approach the station..."what if mum n dad have said turns out to be true??" "what if tis?? what if tat??"....the tickets are taken and theres no turning back..With the sun baking my already half baked brain..I wait for the train thats 20 mins late.....Only 20 mins?? :-) I was worrying for nothing afta all!! Am sitting on the bench...trying to ignore oggling eyes from everywhere...when I notice two 2 BAMBOLA aunties coming my way....I pray wishin they do not come near my bench..........Its not my day today :-(....THUD!!!! OOOUUUCCCHH!!!!!

What would be your reaction if 150 kgs sat on your thigh???......I decide to name them Pushy Aunties as they keep pushing me inorder to get more space...

TRING..."Will be thr in 40 mins"..."yes they r late but not very" "Yes 1.40 ki last local is at 3.45....sure ....byeeee" ....I hang up after speakin with goldilocks assuring her I will be there. Pushy aunty 1 is giving me a shocked stare...Why aunty have I grown horns???? Then she turns to her BHEN...that wat she called her..Rajnibhen "Rajnibhen tamhune khabar che?? aaan chookri bolech 1.40 ni local last local che anee te pun 3.45 vage aavse" (In English: Rajnibhen do you know?? this girl besids me says that the 1.40 train is the last one and will come at 3.45).....WHAT THE ***** BUFFALO!!!!!

God.....this is how a misintepreted statement can dig a mountain outta a mole hill !!!!!!!!!!!!

Pushy Aunties....plzzzzzzz chck the indicator....it says 12.30....how can you be sooooooooooo ignorant!!!!!! A sweet person that I am ;-) I exlplain to them that I was talking bout the movie 1.40 ki lat local....and they can rest assure and not strain their overblown brains (didnt say tat though :-)).

Finally my wait ends....I get in the train....rather get pushed into it. Am just deciding how to spend the 40 mins before my destination comes...when I over hear some girly talks....."Hey what did you do!!!! u've blocked all trains for 3 days!!" giggle giggle giggle...."you have a block named after u" giggle giggle giggle....

I assume one of the girls' name maybe MEGHA.....and hence all this teasing bout MEGHABLOCK..(with the H silent of course)...and so the 40 mins pass..
Goldilocks gives me one of those killing looks for being late but my sweet grin melts her heart (HOW MELODRAMATIC ;-) )
And so we spend the day........a lovely lunch followed by the 1.40 ki last local.....the movie's good but a lill tooooooooooooooooo real to digest....the best part??? AD's bondage :-)

Once again farewells are bid....promises to meet again are made....and yes we intend to keep those too :-)
I leave with a heavy heart...a lill more heavy as the weekend has come to an end and have to report to work next day :-(

I board my 8.50 ki not last local and am home in 40 mins!!! WHEEEEW........

MegaBlock????? It was just a hyped up issue..but yes...commuters commuting to Virar and far suburbs had problems travelling. All in all an eventful day :-)

Sundays are very mean...they fly away in a wink ;-)
One sunday per week is toooo less
What do you think????
Greed is not good...be happy with what uve had
But what's wrong in wishful thinking...It's not that BAD ;-)

COW CHOW...

The Step I take.....My First post I make

So this is it.........I now have my own blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPPPPEEEEEEE !!!!!
Its 12.15 AM and my head's almost fallin over the keyboard but the excitement of having my own blog makes up for it..
Special thanks to HERO (tats what I call him) for helping me out and straining his knees to the point of cracking!!! LOL...
Well the inspiration came from someone else altogether. I accidently happened to read his blog and was so impressed that was bent on havin one of my own....and LOOOOOOOOOO I do now!!!
I've always been a person who prefers not to share her thoughts with all and sundry....mostly because am not that a gr8 communicator in person??...yes maybe... but this medium has given me a platform to express what I feel in a way im best at...Writing
Am off to bed now....my eyes are ready to POP
But will be back soon...tis bloggin shall never stop!!!
