Well yesterday the rain gods showered like crazy on Mumbai and it was just awesome to see the entire sky change its color. So suddenly from the 15th floor of my office I could see marine drive become dark at 5pm in the evening. It was a beautiful sight. I wish I had my SLR to just click and keep it as a memory. But apart from the beauty of it all, I could see the traffic coming to a stand -still with people panicking etc. from here it was difficult to make out as to what the situation would be down stairs. Then we came to know that there was a difficulty in getting cabs. Trains were running late as well. So naturally the scene was getting bad.
We tried to wrap up things quickly and hurry back home. By the time we got out of office, the cabs were off the roads. After a long wait, finally spotted a cab. The cab driver refused to go. So the coaxing started. And I just had to take that cab as there was nothing else I could see. So I pleaded and reasoned occasionally and then just plain simple begged. In the mean time there were two men who walked up to the same cab and tried to ask him for some other destination. In my head I wanted to slap this guy. How dare he. So I just gave him one of my looks and said “ excuse me, can’t you see that I am already in conversation with him” to which he apologized and said “ Ma’am we both can take the cab”
So there we were taking a cab back home together. Had an awesome conversation on my way back. Exchanged numbers. He left me smiling. Oh he paid too. Invited for lunch etc.
Common on it was a rainy night. We were two strangers. We had to kill time. Made a friend in the bargain!!!
