At last reached office....

I dont remeber the exact day, but I do remeber the incident of that day coz that is unforettable experience!

It was cold morning, I managed to getup at 6:15 am after 4 times of Alarm. Any how got up and started brushing. Generally I used to watch CNBC channel for the time, what ever I spend for brushing. Because I need to know, how the US market(DOVV jones) has done that night so I can make strategy for today for our NSE. That day , I saw 5 mins more as crude price was going high that day. (If you are not share market investor , then you will not understand, its only for market experts :) ). Then saw the time its, 6:40. I had almost sure , that day I will miss the morning suttle. But I tried my best, took bath and got ready. The idiot clock was showing 7.00
AM. Mom had told to have breakfast, but no time man!! I need to run!! I started running. I called my cab mate, but that guy was sleeping, after 3 rings he recieved the call and told he is not coming. after 2 mins continues run , when I was crossing the road, I saw the office cab was going infront of me. I took rest for 2 mins, then was thinking to go in bmtc bus. But for that I needed to change the 3 buses. I said to myself 'NO WAY' !! I slowly started to go back home.

After coming home, dad started giving mantra about how lazy I am etc and etc. No problem.. Breakfast was waiting for me , so I dint want to disappointment bisi(hot) bisi dosa. So had breakfast around 7:45am. My mind was thinking 'still 2 1/2 hours is there to catch next office shuttle'. so wat to do? Lets have nap. Nap became sleep. When I got up , the time was 9:50Am. Suddenly got up, washed face again started running. The problem is, to catch late morning shuttle, I need to go to different stop by BMTC bus. Anyhow I got bus, took ticket but bus driver was missing. After 4-5 min he came, started bus. I was in tension that whether I will get the office bus or not.. If I miss this shuttle also then wat to do? so much confusion and tension. I dint want to see the time in my watch, dont know why!! any how got down from the bus, saw the time it was 10.20 am. Again running because from bmtc bus stop to shuttle stop, its 3 mins walk. But my running dint give fruitful result. Nobody was there in the stop. I called my friend, he told its already left and he was laughing as if he had achieved something great. But thats true, getting bus is also achievement.

Then I made my mind that anyhow I want to reach office today, so I was waiting for bmtc bus. For my good fortune, Volvo bus came, I was so happy that atleast I got volvo, so that I can go aaram se in AC. It was standing near signal, I ran and got into it.I was feeling so proud about my self, that instead of going in normal bus , I got volvo. But... the situation got reversed.Bus conductor came and asked for ticket, with style I told my stop name, he told 50 rs. I put hand on my pocket but.. not to worry , I had purse.. took out my purse, and saw.. again not to worry, I had money but the problem is that I found that money is not sufficient for ticket. I had only 20 rs. god.......... that time 'mera haalat' dont ask.
I told conductor: 'GURU' 20 rs ede aste ( ihav only 20 rs), conductor started seeing me in some diffrent look now. Suddenly I gave him my debit card and told him to take from my card. He told , he is not having anything to swipe. I told him wat is this saar, in volvo u dont take card-a? He told I wll give ticket for 20 rs and get down near any atm. I said, no need I will get down to next stop. All passengers were seing me. nothing can be done man!! I got down to next stop. Conductor was also laughing.

I was waitng for normal BMTC bus, i calculated how much I need to reach office, 20 rs is sufficeint man! To go to office , I need to change 2 buses, one upto Marathahalli and from there one more to whitefield. Marathahalli bus came, seats were there, I managed to get window seat. Now 10.45 am, Bus started moving to marathahalli, there was lot of traffic jam. I thought it will take minimum 1 hour to reach Marathahalli, so I wanted to utilize this time, so was listening to walkman, and thought to read news paper. But I dont know, when I surrendered myself to sleep. I was sleeping again dude.. when I got up, the time was showing 12.05 am. then suddenly saw which stop I am. But I took some time to realize that I already crossed Marathahalli. Seriosly this is worst condition. I asked conductor , where this bus is going? He told Hebbal, then I got down near KR puram. Now how to reach office?? I had only 10rs in my purse. I started walking towards whitefield, my office is aroun 8 km from there. I dint want to waste my money for auto. But no choice.. I thought to go in Auto so that I can withdraw money if I find any ATM, But No auto was there, The time was 12:25Am. I walked upto 1km and found auto, and told him to stop near any ATM. After that I withdraw money from ATM and auto started heading towards office.time is 12:45 am, ATLAST I REACHED OFFICE and applied half day leave :(.

After this situation, from next time, I should not miss morning shuttle, if in case , I miss first shuttle , I will reach before time to catch second shuttle. In the worst case, If i miss second shuttle also??????????????? nothing.... Apply for leave and go home and sleep.. hahahahahah
