I have always seen and heard my friends talking about driving a car… till today I never had the courage to actually do it. But do it I did. I took a risk. For the first time in my life probably, I acted upon someone else’s trust in me, and actually went ahead with the plan.
It was time for me to leave for my dance class, I thought I’ll take a bus or the auto. Something that my friend said made me think about taking the car. I decided to take the risk. Basically all this while, I’ve been waiting for someone to push me to do it. I don’t think I could’ve pushed myself at all. My mother was and probably is paranoid about my driving. She can’t relax in the car around me. That’s why I’ve never had the courage to drive on my own before. But today something struck me, something inside me made me want to do it.
I took the car out nice and slow. Knowing the roads pretty well helped cause that didn’t come in my way of driving. I went on to the highway and was comfortable driving at 40. I wanted to go faster but wasn’t sure about doing that. I took the flyover, went through Khar subway and exited out in Bandra. once I crossed khar subway I knew I would reach class. That too on time!
I danced happily. In complete love with myself, so much so that I badly wanted to hug someone at that time, wanted to make that moment complete. I drove on and reached class. Parked alright. Then post class, I asked my friend from class to accompany me back. Coming from Linking Rd., we went to S V Rd., got very screwed up at Andheri – Shoppers Stop signal, had to wade through 4 signals before I could go ahead. Then took the highway and came from Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Rd., once I crossed that road and rook a right for poonam nagar, I realized I was home. Aah! What a wonderful night!
