Mein aur Meri Shopping - Part I

Yesterday i have decided to go for shopping to buy a top. Was thinking where to shop and one of my colleuges suggested Central. She said there is a sale going on and the collection also is huge and good. Central is never my choice to shop as i never got anything there that i wanted. But as she said so, i've decided to try my luck for this time.

Had left office early with another colleague, around 5 30PM. She wanted to go her home once before going for shopping. It started to rain when we were almost near her home. She said "we'll park the scooty at her place and take an auto. By the time we return, it would stop raining and i can return home on my bike." I said "ok" though i didn't like the plan much(I prefer/like to drive). It almost stopped raining when we left her home, but we still went by auto.
It was 7 when we reached Central. Our plan was to complete shopping by 8 30, but it was 9 when we came out. As usual i didn't get anything what i wanted, but still ended up spending some Rs.500/- on some cosmetics, which i didn't plan for.We came out and started to look for an auto. It's not any tough to get an auto in Hyd, if you are ready to pay the amount they ask for. 30% of the auto drivers here love their auto meters very much and don't prefer to strain them much. Hence they themselves does the job of deciding the fair.
Believe me... we were standing on the road for 30 mins to get an auto, and it is one of the busiest junctions in Hyd!!It was really a surprise for me. We were ready to pay the fair howmuch ever they demand for, but still no one was ready to come, for some strange reason. The place where we had to go, is hardly 2KM away from the road we were standing on. We ended up asking some n no. of autos, but all of them preferred to go with empty seats. I was feeling hungry and was getting leg and back pains for standing so long. My colleague started to regret her plan of going by an auto. There were few other people praying on the road for an auto. I, now, know the importance of an auto, which i never realized!

Finally, one person(must've been an angel!) had agreed to come for the fair of Rs.30/-. It was too much for a distance of 2KM, but its ok...Thank God! At last we got in to the auto, and i could catch the expressions of those who were still praying there.
Aahhhh! Know how a Sugar patient who is not eating any sweets for years, will feel if we offer a Jangri to him...

Oh my dear great auto drivers! i bow to you all!
