Short history of Thursday morning auto ride to college.
Jump into auto at Royapettah, try to edge away from suspicious looking dust particles on seat. Pull out goggles and clamp over nose. Onward James!
Navigating through Ellis road is always exciting. This particular James is not very careful and also very fast. A good combination if you like sluicing through closely packed habitation for entertainment.
Slow down anna, thats my turn. Whoopie! never knew an auto could do a side wheelie before. Hold on i think i lost my wallet. Ya the one i was going to pay you from. Abrupt stop... hit the purple magnolias painted on the steel bars in front of me. No problem, its only cartilage, it mends easily, my nose that is. Two seconds later, wallet safely in hand, we speed away again. Cycles, scooters, bullock carts all fade into blur as we skirt them expertly and speed away in happy abandon. Reach college all too quickly.
Another day another trip.
