Ah well, it’s
a funny place this Dilli of mine. A city full of contradictions brimming with
the old and the new at each corner and in each one of us!
Last week
while on the road, a guy honked incessantly and jumped the red light to race
ahead of everyone and everything, throwing caution to the wind, the attitude
reeked of “tu nahi jaanta main kaun hun”. I rolled my eyes and made that
typical hand gesture somehow all drivers in Delhi make, doesn’t matter who is
at fault. 20 seconds later the light turned green and I moved on only to spot
that same car a couple of meters ahead of me and then he suddenly braked in the
middle of the road and pulled on side leaving me wondering what the heck
happened. It is then that I spotted a cat had crossed over the path…I could not
control and laughed aloud all alone to myself and gaily drove off. It was like
divine intervention with me feeling vindicated and smug.
What the
traffic rules couldn’t do a small cat achieved. Cant help laughing. Do you know
what it means when a cat crosses the path? Well, it means it is going
somewhere. Haahahha
