A twist of fate

He would have never thought he wud be involved in such a bizarre turn of events on that day. It was at the diary circle on bannerghatta road that this had to happen. I had attended a training and was returning home at 6 in the evening, when i got a call from my friend and i stopped on the side of the road to answer it. A smoking hot girl walked up right next to me on the pavement whr i had placed my foot for support, and she raised her hand and waved it as though signalling to somebody.

Who would have ever thought a simple hand gesture could lead to such a disaster. I gave her a look and admired her beauty for a second and got back to talking to my friend on the phone, and this was when i heard the screeching of brakes and a huge thud. I was at first perplexed and shocked. I looked at my phone in awe to see if it was coming from my friend's side. It then suddenly occured to me that there has been an accident. I turned to the other side of the road and was shocked to see what had happened. There was a bike lying flat on the road, trampled by an auto. Luckily nothing had happened to either the biker or the autowaala...they escaped with minor bruises. A gruelsome fight broke out between the two, and that was when i came to know the reason why the accident happened. The autowaala said, "avalu kayyi torsidru, naanu auto goskara anukondhu, turn maadibitta". It meant, "the girl waved her hand and i thought she signalled for my auto, so i turned".

If it was any other person, the auto wouldnt have even noticed them, in that traffic rush, but she had to draw attention. The effect of disaster a beautiful girl can have is pretty evident here. The autowaala as soon as he saw her wave her hand, didnt give a second thought and just turned the auto immediately towards her, without even checking for traffic behind him, leading to that pile up. The scene had got really bad, very fowl language was flowing around and suddenly it got physical. The autowaala, a heavily built guy drew blood from the biker's nose and then the crowd around them poured in to stop the fight. Poor biker, he wud have never thought his day wud see so much, when he had started it. As the pile-up slowly cleared, my attention was caught by another conversation. The girl was saying to a boy on a bike, "ab main kya karoon?maine haat tere ko hilaya tha, aur woh saala autowaala confuse ho gaya. Isme meri kya galti hai??!!".

She had signalled her boy frend who was on the other side of the road, and this had led to a very gruelling fight between two commuters who were in the first place not supposed to have any part in this mayhem. Heights of irony..isn't it?
