A jolly ride .. in the night.. at midnight

Reached home at 9:45 p.m. Had wholesome dinner. yawning... Slept off in mom's
lap.. One of the most boring IPL matches being aired on T.V.  There are people who watch cricket matches irrespective of it being boring or interesting. goddamn.. Dad was supposed to catch a bus at 12 30 a.m. Suddenly my inner conscience said it's time. I got up to see that my dad is still glued to the T.V.. Just imagine.. One over left and 35 runs to score.. Is it really possible.. I would say it would have been possible had Lance Klusener been on the batting strike ;) ( Point to note is that I too watch cricket.. :) )..Finally..I saw myself saying. "Get up dad.. it's time.. you got to catch the bus".. Mom shouting.. "She has to come home alone at midnight".. Finally the boring match ended up with the Kolkata Knight riders defeating Deccan Chargers by 24 runs.. The time was 11 45 p.m. Atlast dad and I were on the road..

It was quiet except for the barking of dogs. too many dogs actually.. we reached the bus stop.. that was not the end.. He had to go to tambaram. So he got into a bus to tambaram. and I was on my way back home.. Though sunny night.. pitch dark it was .. no street lights.. ooooooh. Too many stray dogs on the road and they were infact fighting.. bhu bhu bhu.. not even a single soul on the road or near by.. Horrific images started crossing my mind.. Though it was just 10 mins ride from bus stop to my home. it seemed ages!!! huh.. On a side road .. I saw a guy ..but it looked as if he was staring at me and was having defiant look on his face... uffff... (may be he was thinking.. what is a gal doing at this hour on the road... ) .. Looking at the dogs made me feel as if they are chasing me ... My goodness. Finally I reached home safe :) .. Though there was breeze outside.. I was sweating from top to bottom... Mom said once I entered home.. "It's pitch dark outside.. you are brave enough to come home alone!!!" ... I just gave a cheesy smile while trying to hide the scary experience I had...


Actually it's not all that tough to ride alone in the dark.. May be 2nd experience will be far more better :) so that I can do justice to the title ;-)
