Va – Match Box!!

11:38 PM – I was watching a movie in my laptop and suddenly felt a pinch in my stomach… reminded me that I haven’t had my dinner yet… Got up and went to kitchen found that I had some dosa mix left that could fill my stomach. I placed the kadai on the stove and looked the shelves for the match box.

11:51 PM – Still searching for the match box.

11:55 PM – Finally decided that if I spend one additional minute searching for the match box, I’m going to end up starving the whole night.

11:59 PM – Took the staircase, went down and started my roommates bike (Honda CBR – there is a reason for specifying the details here)

12:10 PM – slowed the bike near the chetha shop to see if its opened..

12:11 PM – Accelerated the bike @ full speed looking for the next shop… Mind is googling “where can I find a match box now”… 4 Results found.

1. 1. Chetha shop (Ruled out)
2. 2. Bunk shop near BEML gate
3. 3. Nattar shop next to Naidu mess
4. 4. Omlette shop near Leela palace

12:14 PM – Slowed the bike near the Nattar shop next to Naidu Mess – Could see the locks smiling at me L

12:16 PM – U turn – riding at full speed towards BEML Gate

12:19 PM – My saviour was standing there with a cycle, selling cigarettes, tea and biscuits

12:20 PM – Switched the engine off, got down and approached that guy. I know he is not here to sell match box… so I had to buy something else first… Googled again… 3 results found.

1. 1. Cigarette
2. 2. Tea
3. 3. Bun/biscuit

12:21 PM – Went near that guy and said “Tea ondhu koodi”

12:23 PM – Stood next to CBR and was sipping the tea.

12:24 PM – Mr.X in R15 came and stopped next to me. Got down, starred at the bike and me and went to the shopwalla and asked for a cigarette.

12:25 PM – Mr.X is now smoking his cigarette but was still looking at me and the bike.

12:27 PM – Tea over – went to the shop walla

Me: Yestu?

Shopwalla : Aiidhu ruba kodi

Me : Match box ondhu kodi. And gave him 10 bucks.

12:28 PM – Collected the change and went to start the bike. Noticed that Mr.X hastily took a last puff and throwed the remaining cigarette and got ready to start his bike.

12:29 PM – My instinct said this man is going to race with me. And my heart said… if that’s the case… Lets beat him!!

12:30 PM – I ignited the engine and waited for the RPM to come under 1.4 (Per my roommates instruction). Mr. X did the same and was waiting for me to move. (Race confirmed)

After couple of seconds the Race began… I hit 0 – 60 in about 10 seconds ferociously waiting for him to overtake me to confirm if it’s a race. Like expected, he came near me and that’s it… Vroooom……..

12:31 PM – was thinking 3 things in mind

1. Poda biskothu paiya

2. 10^th Main varaikum ivan munaadi vara kudaadhu

3. Inaiku night poi idha Blog pannanum J

12:33 PM – Turned @ 10^th main successfully finishing the race and was looking at the rear view mirror for that guy to cross the road… he crossed after 5 seconds… fair enough!!

12:42 PM – Lit the stove, prepared the dosa.
