....apart from waiting for the mechanic.
...
1) Attempt to start the car again.....just
in case the car has sorted itself out after you rang the recovery service.
2) 1 hour 10 minutes??? Oh Come on, what is
the mechanic doing? Why does he need an hour to reach the site? Do the recovery services not
understand what 'quick service’ means? What are they paid for?
3) Decide to listen to some music while
looking around. …'Chor bazaari do nainon ki’…beep beep....go to next
song….'haulley haulley ho jaayega pyaar'... …beep beep..... OFF. For some
reason, it doesn’t feel right place, time and mood for music.
4) Search in the
dashboard and cabins for some CDs, chocolates or something to nibble.
5) Check the time… How
long ago was the phone call made? Good Lord, why is the mechanic still not
here?
6) Keep an eye on the approaching vehicles. Just in case the mechanic cannot find
the car and you need to wave to the mechanic!
7) Ah! perhaps it is time to ring
some friend who you would have otherwise not bothered to call. You search for
their name on your contacts and then for some reason decide to not to
call.
8) Realise that you are very hungry and, thinking of food, you also
realise that you have not kept the milk jar back in the fridge after use in the
afternoon...damn! it will go stale and you cannot have a cup of tea IF and when
you go home.
9) You wonder whether to ring the mechanic once again ? Just to find out if he is on
his way!
10) Hunch forward at the sight of an approaching vehicle. All the oncoming vehicles appear to be recovery vehicles until they drive past you.

11) THANK GOD
as the mechanic arrives and hope that nothing major is wrong with the car.
12) When the car is fixed, you take
A BIG SIGH OF RELIEF, thank the mechanic and drive away thinking you have found a topic for your
blog post today!
