apni toh paathshala masti ki paathshala

loose control....."

An odd street, 9:00 am

As I was running on the streets, with street dogs ready to rip me off, God sent the savior.

No, he was not a handsome hulk riding a BMW bike. But he was, who I needed badly at that moment.....the E-rikshaw waala. (E-rickshaws are battery operated electric three wheelers, which are usually boarded on a sharing basis by four people. 'E rickshaw waala' is the person who drives it). I usually took an E-rickshaw for going to the metro station. 

"Metro, metro,metro" He called.

" Bhaiyaa bhagao" I shrieked as I jumped on the back seat. Sensing the terror, he quickly sped off. The dogs followed but not for long.

"Pagal kutte the madam (They were just aggressive dogs) " The rickshaw waala said.

" Oh! I thought they were cute bunnies ...thanks for enlightening me" I muttered and rolled my eyes. Of course I knew they were dogs,savage dogs.

Just then I heard a repressed laughter from someone sitting beside me.

So, I was not the lone passenger of the E-rickshaw. I looked sideways to see who it was.

"OMG" I gasped. "Why didn't I notice HIM earlier! I am an idiot."

A handsome boy was sitting beside me on the blessed rickshaw.

Inaya: Then turn yours and see..

Me: that would look weird....he's facing the other side...

Inaya: Whatever...-_-

(she went offline)

But I had got to see his FACE....

I am of the opinion that people should not be judged by their physical appearance (I don't have a very pretty one myself), As the saying goes,"Don't judge a book by it's cover." But, when only the cover is available, you have got to judge it.
