Hello Readers! I cannot believe it is
already the last week of October! The month has gone by really fast & to
slow it down a but, here's a little commute post for y'all!

One of the times, I was coming back
from college on my 2 wheeler (Activa). There was a lot of traffic on the main
road. And habitually, I took to the leftmost lane where usually all the riders are.
We all are just there for each other. We kept going ahead, slowly &
steadily. It's always tough when there's traffic. There are people on the left
while cars & trucks/buses on the right. You have to be extra careful. And,
in all these calculations, there was an old uncle with his cycle. Yes, cycle.
It
was 100 % irritating, because the pace of a cycle is different than that of an
Activa or a bike! And, he was crossing lanes anyhow, not sticking to one path,
getting down to walk the cycle with him, getting up to peddle when it was a bit
clear. I kept going ahead & behind of him, but it was a cluttered street,
so it was impossible to constantly stay ahead. After all, he could just lift his cycle
& take it up on the footpath, for all I knew (at one point, he even did
that!)
I
was so committed to getting ahead of him. And I knew the point where the
traffic would be cleared out, so overtaking him after that point was useless.
Anyone would do that. I just wanted to overtake him while we were stuck there.
But, of course, it was IMPOSSIBLE. He had 100 little tricks & no
matter how many times I went ahead of him, he always somehow covered it up
& went ahead to slow me down!
To
be honest, at first it was irritating. But, after a while it became VERY
amusing. Almost like a secret competition. He wasn't aware about it, so
even if I lost, I wouldn't technically lose. Anyway, that was one fun traffic
jam story!
Until next time,
