One of those saturday evenings, a routine trip to a hanuman temple at nearby town. As-usual my cousin had joined me to take that 45minute short drive on my more than comfortable SUV ( the beast : as i had named : Macho ) which was on a mostly well know route.
Indian roads being Indian roads where rules broadly operate within the domain of karma where you do your best and leave the rest to either the insurance company or god.
Today, it had this guy with a hot girl whom i couldn't miss having a glance ( almost lost in her own world , not really bothered ), on a scooter almost driving in to my car, few yards ahead of me.
Missing him by couple of inches or so, got past that gentleman. With all city traffic moving around, I tried to hold my line at the next traffic signal ( me being an example - traffic sense ;) really ? ), eagerly waiting for a green.
DHUD ! DHUD !- came a sound knock which almost instantly irritated me
I turned around to look at this guy ,giving me a very strong stare.
Didn't realize he took this massive city race for this. 'man with a hot gal', had taught it was our mistake trying to race a massive SUV in to his scooter.
The girl filling minds already made me have a huge smile :)
As i rolled the windows down, i could clearly hear that strong voice with all the anger , " Enna da car ootra ? " ( literally meaning "What car are you driving" )
I almost instantly lost my smile.
Looked at my cousin. He still looked calm. Slowly turning towards the man
, made a swift comment looking straight in to his face, " Mahindra Scorpio Diesel VLX " ( Windows rolling up almost instantly ).
There was almost stunned silence amidst that heavy traffic ! Surprised ! Stunned !
Not being able to control the giggle made a swift look at the gal who bursts out laughing.

It's been more than a year now, but even now we still laugh heartily over it
To this day we almost get an instant smile when I stop at the traffic signal.
Life has got complicated, frustration and anger on trivial issue, it sometimes turns to become a disaster and very few times a memorable moment like this.
Hey hey that was brilliant and rofl... A very typical Chandru -ish response :D . Pity u cudnt wait to watch the gal getting impressed at ur wit ;)
