The experience i wish i never had.....

DATE:AUGUST 4, TIME:1:45 am

It was supposed to just another day but it just was n`t supposed to b that way i guess.
Here is how it went.

I had slept at somewhere around 11pm that night, with the alarm set at 2:00 am. I had to get up so early coz i had promised to Neha[My bestest fren of my batch in ACCENTURE] that il b comin to see her off at the airport. she was to leave for US to persue her MS that mornin.
Incidentally i managed to beat the alarm to it n woke up at 1:45am n man it was a very cold night that time. I washed off my face n set off to her house on my bike....it was freeeeeezing cold. I reached her place at close to 2am . I was waitin for nahush who tol dat he`l b getting his car so dat i wud not hav to endure the torture of goin thru to devanahalli in that freezing cold temperature.

I got up so early n reached her place early in the day only to find out that neha had dozed off. she jus got up whn i reached dr n was still to get ready to leave. Nahush came there after some time. Fortunately for us there were 2 other guys who had come there to share the cold chill weather
-DEEPAK N SHRATH. We chatted for about close to an hour till the time was 3am n evry1 was ready to leave by then. By the time we all left her place it was 3am. later it was decided that v won`t take nahush`s car n wud go by sushruth`s car as it was in a lot better shape than d latter, but din have sufficient fuel to make it all d way to devanahalli, which from our place was close to 35 kms, so v decided to go along n on the way get the vehicle re fueled.

No problems till now,so evry1 in the house left……………………………………………

There was a reliance petrol bunk very close by , a lit`l more than 1 km, so we went there only to be given rude shock that there was no fuel available at that time...maybe it was available but that idiot refused to give us any.
Nothing to worry v thot to ourselves , dr r loadsa petrol bunks ahead...n v knew dat atleast dr wud be a few SHELL petrol stations ahead that wud b available.So we carried on with our journey to the airport with the hope of finding a petrol bunk that will provide our vehicle with fuel.

To
our bad luck we were denied fuel at some more places.After crossin hebbal n still not finding a single petrol bunk open all 4 us in car got a lit`l anxious. so along the way we saw a bunch of auto drivers whom v decided to ask if dr was ne petrol bunk available nearby that is open 24/7 , n they said that the nearby station was some 6 kms away near cantonment railway station n lso assured us dat thr will petrol available there for SURE.
Phew , that was a relief but the problem was that it was the other way to the airport, but still with hopes in our heart we set out on our quest in search for petrol dat mornin.we reached that spot that was told to us only to be awaken by a rude shock that it was not a 24/7 petrol station....v thot to ourselves WHT D FUCK IS GOIN ON...dis jus can`t b happenin to us , atleast not now......den after some more
plannin v searched for noder 5- 6 petrol bunks again to only find out that thr is no petrol available.....
Then later v set out to MG road which was our last hope of findin fuel at odd hours in d mornin n all of us knew for a fact that thr will be petrol available at that place.So , with a slight hope v det our journey towards MG road....n mind u it was noder 10
kms away from whr we were.evry1 was very much apprehensive about the fact that thr was lit`l petrol in d car n on d way we got a call from neha who was worried as to whr we had all gone, v told her that we`v got the vehicle refuelled n that v wer on our way so dat she won feel upset......

well all was not lost yet, thr was still hope, v reached MG road with very lit`l problem but only to find out the most rude shock of our lives.....THAT BLOODY FUCKIN PETROL STATION WAS CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT.....WHT D FUCK IS GOIN ON....., dat was one of the most frustratin events to have taken place in my short life dat i`v lived so far....v even went n asked him that we wud pay him extra for the petrol but it was of no use at all.All our hopes had died at that time....it was 3:45 am n all of us were thinkin as to wht will happen next.Then one of the guys told that thr was petrol bunk nearby brigade road n v shud give it a shot but none of us were confident that thr wud b fuel available dr at that time...atleast not after jus bein denied fuel by a 24/7 petrol station... v had nothin to lose, so decided to take dat shot ...it was jus a wild shot taken in d dark...

with our hearts in despair we went to BRIGADE road n found the petrol bunk......as we neared that place our sorrows were beginnin to fill with joy as we saw that it was open.....YAHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....It was one of those moments whr i was extremely exremely happy....our joy knew no bounds..we thanked our gods for luck at that time.quickly we had the vehicle refuelled n set out on our journey to the airport which was noder 30 kms away atleast n d time was 3:55am.Neha`s check in time was at 5am.so quickly evry1 of us got inside the vehicle n zoomed ahead.

v had slight trouble wid the roads from after mekhri circle till v crossed hebbal flyover. After that it was like absolutely wonderfull roads ahead.It was my first trip to the airport n by god the roads were very very fine absolutely no potholes whatsoever n illuminations on both sides of the road....we were cursing our ill fated luck for the horrible experience n the auto drivers who told that thr will fuel available at that particular place n of course for all the petrol stations that had denied us fuel in d first place.....we were travellin at 100kph consistently n were actually amazed to find that the there were cabs that were heading towards the airport were actually zoomin past ahead at more than 120 kph..phew,that dude is in a real hurry i thot to myself.
We reached the airport at aroun 4:30 am, just early enuf to say our goodbyes to neha.We were extreeeeeemely releived to have made to the airport in time.
After comin in terms with reality i den later gave her a small gift that i had got for her..it was a ganesha vigraha that i had got that day hopin that it wud bring her gud luck in thr n keep her away form ne troubles.After all the emotional goodbyes that happened aroun, we decided to head back home coz we had also to catch up with wrk also.


But it was a one helluva experience indeed....PHEW wud never ever want to endure such an experience ever again n it was truly THE EXPERIENCE I WISH I NEVER HAD.

Me....My first blog

Well well well.....am finally here,after going thru loads n loads n loads of blogs written by countless users iv finally made a blog of my own.Not the fist time though, i just managed not to remember my previous blog addresses that i managed to make just out of sheer enthu to write all nonsense stuffs.
Lemme just start with my intro(never been good at this tho)

Am Arun by the way.. n frens always managed to find ways to piss me off by calling names other than my original name.I still get pissed whn ppl call me names, it s1 thing that i v alwasy hated in my life n god knows for how long it`l keep on goin.
The only other name that i liek being called is ARU...all of my relatives n my family members call me with this name n it feels very funny whn either my mom or my sister call me ARUN, am so used to being called ARU by them.

I am kind of a very ill tempered person.I v been at the recievin end of certain situations whr iv got my temper get the better of me.I don like to get angry but unfortunately its just the way that i am...n i hav no issues with what i am.

I don drink nor smoke....i say this proudly coz am the only guy in the whole grup of my frens in engineering who never did booze or fag even after many non smokers n non drinkers turned up to be smokers n drunkards in front of me....but unfortunately am stuck with my best buddies who do so otherwise....i guess this is wht ppl say "stuck between a rock and a hard place".

An i just luvvvvvv to bike watch....yeah u saw it rite, its bike watch not bird watch....am d kinda guy who on ne day wud rather look at a neat, cool n sexxy bike even if a very hot babe was passing thru....i still consider myself to b an amateur at biking tho...coz wht i know abt bikes is not even the tip of the iceberg....n biking is like a deep ocean which has no definite depth at all.
I hate to c some1 overtake me while riding, even if it was a car dat can zoom past at 100k without ne problems i still like to race with it....n i hate to see chicks ridin big bikes jus for the heck of it, its just not done with me(unless they r serious bikers ofcourse)

CRICKET- my favourite sport, SACHIN - MY GOD....don need to say nething further i suppose abt this topic coz it needs no intro .

Am an electrical engineer by qualification, i donno y i am but i jus am...i hav no idea as to wht i did during my entire 4 years of engineering coz i don remember even a single topic from my entire time during those days.The reason is very simple----i just managed to wander off entirely from my academics until i almost reached a point of no return, well just my luck that i din cross that line n did manage to return to atleast successfully complete my engineering within 4 years of stipulated time....but i stil have no regrets coz the place from whr i did my graduation was BMSCE-the most awesomest college aroun that ne1 can ever think of studying n i consider myself to b very lucky to b blessed to join there. 4 years have passed thru in dr jus like that...i never even realized that how all those years passed by[fun n frolic of course]....iv had my share of bad times n mostly a huge chunk in the share of good times during my engng days n i will alwasy treasure them for the rest of my life as long as i live......

GUESS ITS JUS ENUF OF MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY FOR NOW....BLOGS WILL COME UP LATER.....PEACE
