Yesterday I was in a hurry to leave office for a personal pending work outside. I had to travel from Chennai downtown Ambattur to Anna Nagar. I wrapped-up my work quickly and started around 5.30 PM from office to take the auto. You know chennai traffic right??
As usual, I was not the one who escaped this. Since roads were potholed everywhere, traffic was moving at snail's pace, and add to the situation, the traffic was clogged at the intersection of 100 feet road. I was talking with my fiancee, the conversation which I was not able to continue due to heavy traffic sound. So, i started listening to songs in my mobile.
40 mins later, I reached Olympic Wedding Cards showroom in Anna Nagar, u know for so-and-so-reasons :) I opened my bag to take out 100 bucks from my purse. 5 mins passed away, and i was still searching for my purse inside my bag. Then i searched my laptop bag if i kept my purse in that. I searched, finally found no purse nor money. Then i realised that i had forgotten and kept the purse in my house. Atleast, if i were getting down at my house, i can ask Autowala to wait outside for 2 mins, get the money from home and give it to him.
I was getting dropped at some other place, and really got a little panic. Autowala understood my tension, and asked me to search slowly and properly, and that he'd wait. Time was passing away, but I had no solution with me. Then immediately i called up to my mom to ask where she was. To my luck, she was near thirumangalam junction. I immediately asked her to come to the venue where i was standing.
I was waiting for 15 mins (holy shit - its not waiting.its wasting!!!) . And finally the saviour, My mom came rushing in an auto (thank God! She did not forget to bring her purse). We paid the money to the autowala and thanked him for his patience. The worst is yet to come!! I had to face and hear to my mom who was shouting at me for next 10 mins :) Few minutes later, I was talking with Amma as if nothing actually happened! and we happily went into the showroom.
That was my advanced birthday gift for my sweet Mom!!! Happy Birthday!!!
PS: Ask my friends about my absent mindedness. I search for pens and hairbands for hours and find that its in my hand!!!
