I was shaking and shivering, when I tried to find my keys which were in one of my pockets. It was really cold, and the bucketing rain made the weather even worse. Finally, I got in. However, it was freezing inside the coup?. First thing I did was trying to turn on the heat, but I was so asinine and silly that the wintriness made me forgot that I hav to first turn on the engine to get the heat. So, many thought were running in my mind. Important one was, why I didn?t wear a coat this morning. i knew, about the weather and the temperature dropping. I guess, no body was there to make me does it. It?s my negligence. I was still shaking by the time the key was in the ignition. The steering wheel was a like a frosty iron rod for while. Put my one hand under my lap, I slowly drove my self out from the busy lot, into New Britain Ave.

I couldn?t agree more to the lyrics ?libretto? of पिन्जडाको सुगा ? 1974 AD
Trying to look through the wind-shield, was really infuriating?for me. Same road, some signal, same time, but today I wanted to do something new. May be its cuz of the rain, or something, but I was in a mood to drink coffee. My frens would laugh at me if I had told them that I went to dunkin? donuts to get a coffee. I know me very well that I m not a coffee kinda guy. I also go for tea. Took me about 15 mins to find a coffee shop. I didn?t had watch with me, but I figured the time out by counting the songs. The cd was playing the beginning of the track 4. In such a rainy day, I figured out that It was gona be really busy, but I was surprised to see employees sitting down on a table by the window, and I could see the contentment in their face. As a opened the door, one of them ran and went behind the register to assist me. I was even, quite not sure wat I was getting. I knew, I was getting a coffee, a small size but all those new different flavor made me bewilder for a minute.
?Hi, can I help u??
I smiled, and stepped forward.
?ummm, Can I have a small coffee regular, don?t put any flavors?
?How do u want it?? he asked me
?huh, wat?? I was baffled by the question. I really didn?t get what he said
?how do u want ur coffee, cream and sugar???
?ohhhh, ummm put 3 sugars and milk?
I felt like an idiot, and there was a women standing behind me. I was really embarrassed. I know, there is nothing to be mortified off, however it just came in me.
He gave me the coffee, and I started walking out. As I took one stepped towards the door, the called me out loud, and said: ?sir, its gona be $1.39?
?ohhh, yea?.i m sorrie, I totally forgot. I m sorrie?
?its alrite, no problem?
I was soo nervous plus, I just wanted to get out of that store as soon as possible. I was looking for 39cents all over me, cuz I didn?t wanted to break a dollar. I couldn?t find me. With a sad face on my, over to the Franklin?s I handed two dollars. I didn?t even take the change. I scuttled of to the door. It was quite dark, eventho it was like about 5pm, or so. I didn?t wanted to check the exact time. One hand was in my pocket, and other holding the cup. Therefore, I didn?t bother taking out my cell to check the time. By the time, I was by the door, I was shivering. I always wanted to get a remote for the lock, but never got a option to place on in. I was freezing. It was not below the freezing point, cuz I just came running down, stepping on copious puddle. I closed the cap of my cup, and placed it on top of the car. I used to both hands to unlock, and the key was not just going through. I was continuously swearing and the antagonism got bigger and bigger. Finally, after while i opened it. ?mpk, I?m getting a new lock, grrrrr? I was saying it to my self in my mind. I slammed the door. Started the engine, and I could feel the warm convection current flowing by my body. Suddely, I banged my hand on the dashboard. I forgot my coffee. I didn?t wanted to get out, neither wanted to leave that coffee there. I hadn?t even took a slip out of that cup.
I decided not to go out. 3 sugars and milk. I deliberated that its gona be really better, and determined to make make my own type of tea when I reach my apt.
Shifted on reversed, and slowly pulled it out and changed the gear to d4 and took off from the lot. Thinking it was not my day and driving along the left lane was not a good fixation. Eventho, I came across so many obstacles that day?but I didn?t got into any signal, which was quite surprising. For a minute, I felt like I won power ball lotto. Humming to the music of 1974 ad, I arrive at my building. It was Sunday, so was kinda hard to get a parking near the main entrance of the building. But, there was one empty space by the corner. Parked it, and shifted to P, and hurried and got out from the coupe to see if the cup is still there or not. It was not there. But, the time I got into the building, I was all wet. Shuddering my hand due to cold, and letting the water drops to fall from the hair, I rushed in the elevator. I was afraid the elevator would stop like last year when there was a heavy rain like today?s. I was kinda praying, saying: ?harey bhagwann, please aaja chain a rookos hai? It stopped at 5th floor, and the door opened. I thought, some one is coming in, but didn?t realized that it time for me to get out, cuz its 5th floor. Getting staggered from my act, I laughed and walked into hallway rite to my door. This time the key worked flawlessly rite. I didn?t hard to use any extra vigor of mine to have it unlock.
Opened my wet shoes, and thew it in the corner. Then, I went in to see if I had any message. There were new message. One of them was a no number, as I looked at the id I figured out that it was from Nepal. I pressed play, and went in to the bathroom to get towel. As I was walking towards the bathroom, I heard the murmuring sound of my mom. My heart pounded rapidly. I ran back to the living, pressed stop. Then, again pressed Play, and listened to it really vigilantly letting the water drops falling all over the table and rug.
