Merc and Umbrella

My First month in mumbai is quiet wet ;). It's July of '09 and it's a rainy month here. All over u can see the rain and people say this year there is no rain.. when i walk to office i can swim through the water. but still people feel there is no good rain.. i don't know what kind of rain they want. Anyway in this month i have seen so many things happening around. One incident which occured at my office canteen.

I just walked in to the canteen and i saw it's over crowded but as like all indians i have to fight for my place in this people jungle. With swinging arms and steady steps i walked towards the counter for ordering the food. I got the slip which i have to produce on food counter to get the food. Now i have to do the struggle for get a place to sit. In first and last glimpse i understood there is no place to sit alone. So i have to share the table with some one whom i don't know. Yeppy there is a chance to sit with girl. But "wah re meri kismat" none of the girl is sitting alone. One lean guy with very normal looks sitting on one table all alone. Here is the chance dude go and sit.. or stand and eat.

I walked to that fellow. He seems to a nice guy. We started talking about random topics which not at all related to us. like diamond jewellery and some highways.. then chat mover toward some relevant topics like phones, stock market. So over all he was a nice guy and we had a nice lunch. When we walked out of canteen we saw a heavy shower. Rain was on full pace. This guy seem a bit tense how he is will go out. I ask him to share my umbrella with me which he agreed after first polite refusal. We started walking towards my office and just after 10-15 steps he moved towards on Merc and opened the door. He offered me lift in "The Merc". I was like totally shocked by that merc i refused the offer which i still regret but what to do tht time i wasn't able to understand what to say. And i told that guy i prefer walking after eating. junk, shit, bullshit... i like to sit in Merc.. why wouldn't i.. please drag me in that. Later i really laugh out louder on myself that i was offering umbrella to a fellow who owns Merc. :D:D hhahahaha what a ****** joke !...


but the truth and reality is i refused sitting in that Merc which i still regret. :(
