A boy with a Dream...Big Dream... (1)

PAAPP PAAAAPPP
PAAP PAAP PAAAAAP
"Why do people park their car in the middle of the road?"
"Dude! Move Ahead. and you... Turn from here"
"beep.... Beeep.. BEEP BEEP Beep."
And the melody of bad words began. This is one place where you can see the real anger in people. TRAFFIC. Rahul was no different. Usual he never gets angry but this was different. It was about his car. He really loves his car. Chevrolet Tavera. Ivory White with navy blue design. 2003 Model. Power 80 PS @ 3900 RPM, Torque 186 NM @ 1800 RPM, Maximum Speed 141kms/hr. It was not his car since 2003. He bought it in 2010. Second hand but yet in good shape. He had a great passion for this car. Passion to Keep this Car just like a Man keeps it. Driving was something he would do any time and for as long as possible.
Rahul was stuck in this traffic for like 45mins and his patience was running out.

"I don't like to be late. Why don't people understand the importance of time?"
"I have a journey to cover under 4hours or I am dead."
Rahul could not help but to talk to himself. He was getting restless. His wrist watch showed 5:27PM.
"If I don't start driving fast I won't make it today. Will have to stay someplace in between.. Why does it always happen to me?" and he began to make his way out of the traffic, just when a Nissan Micra took a turn and ended up meeting Rahul's Tavera. The driver of Micra did not know he had just ended up upsetting the volcano and his death was near.
" Beep.. Can't you see and take a turn? Can't see just a big car coming? Don't know who gives license to you people. Aata jata kuch nai hai bas nikal padte hai apni car leke."
As Rahul said those words getting out of his car, all the people around surrounded them. This is one thing people enjoy. Seeing each other fight. Its kind of an entertainment on the go for them. Rahul soon realised that it was of no use fighting since it won't make a difference and he will be the only one to end up getting late. The other driver said sorry and asked if he could pay for the damages. Seeing his nature rahul decided not to. He decided to rather leave.
for almost 3 hours he drove and it was dark and knowing the conditions of the road and been away of the drank truckers rahul decided to stop somewhere. He looked for every hotel on the highway but all were booked. He made a choice of eating his dinner 1st.
Rahul knew in his mind that tonight he will have to sleep in his car. After dinner and a glass of buttermilk he went to his car, opened the window, adjusted the co-driver seat and looked at the stars in the sky from the windshield. He was amazed and soon he was asleep.
