Two Lifts in 2 weeks :-D

The last Saturday of 2006 was really a busy day. I woke up at 7 in the morning n rushed to one of my relative’s place, a 1.5 hr bus drive from my place. Met my relatives n as I had promised them to take them to my univ got a cab n brought them to the univ. I was walking all thro the univ along with them so that they cud get to see most of the places. It was really hot n I had no energy at the end of tour. At abt 12:30 started from the univ and went n dropped them back as they were new to the place only then I realized that I was supposed to go to my friend’s place near my univ for lunch. I was like I am gonna reach only for dinner. Then immediately got the train n came back. This was the first time I was going to my friends place. Once I got down from the station I started to walk thinking that I wud be able to manage my way. Walking for sometime n realized that it was already too late n thought it wud be a better option to ask somebody on the way for the rt direction. There was nobody on the road except a guy sitting in the car parked on the side of the road. I approached him n asked him the way n he said he has no idea. I was like, ok this is not my day n started to walk n suddenly heard a voice calling Hello Hello. I turned back n it was the guy whom I asked the way. He was like I have the map n I am waiting to pick up my kids n u seem to be in an emergency ( I guess he misunderstood the speed in which I walk) So I will drop u there. I was like I am not in any emergency but cud u tell me the direction. Then eventually cudnt resist the offer n took a lift to my friends place.:) Thanked him n wished him a Happy New year! The second one happ last Thursday. The work was done for the day n I was heading towards the bus stop to get back home when I met this person whom I have never spoken to before except few smiles. I used to see him quiet often cos he works in the same building as mine but never had a chance to speak to him. As usual when I saw him I gave a smile n sat in the bus stop waiting for the bus. I was waiting for a while n suddenly he waved his hand n told me that he is going in a cab to the near by shopping center n offered me that he would drop me on the way. Ok (I jus cudnt think of any other answer). Got into the cab n finally introduced myself! We were speaking abt research interests to his last trip to India which was abt 3 years ago. Reached the destination n thanked him for the lift.
