Something awesome happened today on my way to Subway, which wasn’t in my destiny anyway; still I ended up meeting a random person who in my memory will always stay.....
Last night after telling world about my saddest period of life (food wise) on FB and witnessing a day like today I do believe God is on FB! He is a lurker! He didn’t ‘like’ my status or commented on it but certainly took a note of it and thus I got a chance to miss out on thaali from our pantry (yay!) and I managed some time out and awesome company to NFC for lunch. A good friend at work Arnab, a crazy foodie, who has now gone crazier because he is following some diet plan, proposed Subs from Subway, So in scorching heat we headed for NFC market but how on earth could that have been possible that I was at NFC and would have missed Al-bake Shawarmas... So we had one Shawarma each...Superyumm! I wanted to have more but then I wanted to eat the sub also so we then went to have Sub, Chicken ham and Chicken teriyaki sub for me and him respectively. All that heat was so worth it.
Finally when the day ended at office I got to know that there’s no dinner available and no one’s home today so I planned of some chilled out time at home – like will pickup breezers and order for Subway delivery and will crash in bed early. And as I reached my house lane, discovered that there’s no power and so my plan seemed to fall out in dark and I thought of going and eating at nearby subway. Hell then I got to know that Main market, Malviya Nagar Subway is shut since 4-5 months and other one is at Saket PVR so I took a rickshaw for it...and this was till date most memorable ride in my life(even better than the one who gave me some lessons of life). As we left for Saket after usual negotiations, He had this remote control in his hand and he pressed play and then started the ‘rage’ the super popular Song ‘Amplifier’ and the sound of it blew my mind man! It was awesome sound quality with woofers and all. I was psyched out for a second and then came out most obvious reaction from me –
‘sahi hai bhaiya...pehli baar aisa rickshaw dekha hai...radio hai ya cd player? ’
‘Radio nahii hai....dvd lagaya hai...’He said hesitantly.
I so wanted to know more about him, I looked around and found out that Auto seat on which I was sitting had a hot babe printed on it! I kept looking with astonishment at this zealous guy and heard his story of how he has his own bike n how he burned this dvd on his laptop n then played in his rickshaw which he loves madly. So on that short ride negotiated at Rs. 30 I had vasooled some thousand Rs. worth of entertainment and a super interesting interview in future on radio (for which convincing him was a tough task). J
Oh coming back to subway, super-elated with this joyful-musical-high on life Ride, I was narrating the whole incident to my sister on phone and then I found out that Subway is also shut from that place and I ended up buying hell lot of things from 24*7 shop including breezers as per plan and very delicious chicken salamis of Republic of chicken.
Basically as I said that subway for dinner wasn’t in my destiny today, but I met this guy who kind of made my day.
