auto driver's advice

my friend since 9th grade, sweetie, a total chatterbox, planned to go with me to attend learner's castle's annual day.


we took an autorikshaw..

"bhaiya metre se hi jaenge hum", said sweetie.

"han han madam."

we sat in the auto and we knew it was a long ride..

as always we were yapping, and we talked in English all that while, so the auto driver won't understand.. sweetie started off about all her college friends.. then how her relatives keep coaxing her to get ready for marriage.. "but i've just entered college", she protested.

one after another, we continued our girlie talks..

clothes, family, friends, new boys in her college and anything you can imagine!

we were about to reach..

sweetie said,"but i've now decided, i'm going to try to be happy, no matter what"

"yes madam, very true. everyone has bad times. but don't worry, be happy. think positive, be optimistic", said the driver.

.....silence.....

....more silence......

....silence continued......


"madam you have reached"

we both got down. paid him.. looked at each other and laughed for long..

and just then she asked,"what all did we discuss?"

i remember most of it even now.. but i just can't share it!!!!
