In the past two weeks disaster has struck me twice and in both the cases I felt guilty,miserable. Though only much later did I realize how ironical and completely hilarious both the situations were.So without further ado lets begin with the first one, picture the scene I am all dressed walking down my lane in the hot Friday afternoon at 3pm.

So everything is ok till here the only thing being that I need to reach for a interview and I am getting fabulously late. So instead of things going right they start going wrong starting with my heels just coming apart right there on the road in front of two giggly school boy, one driver and one guard.

Now feeling extremely embarrassed I start trudging my way back walking lopsided wearing heels on one foot and the remains of it on the other all the while pretending to talk on my phone.
Now in our very own Delhi people just cant seem to mind their own business or refrain from giving you advise when you least want it .So the guard says "madamji check nahi kiya nikalne se phele" and the school boy goes with big smile on his face" Ghar se kisiko bola lijye" and the best of all the driver a complete stranger" hum aapko drop karde madam " all the while smirking.

I ward off all their good intentions (Yeah right) while continuing my walk till a bit further on the other heel also comes apart(what luck right!!). Anyways here I meet a servant walking the dog who offers to take care off the heel till later when I can come and collect it from him.

Seriously what a day I did not know whether to cry or bash up the whole lot of them and these things I guess can only happen to me. Well anyways the story ends all right I managed to reach on time and the interview was not so bad either.

My only problem is that I get to see my broken heel lying under the tree where I had thrown it in a huff that day, no one seems to be getting rid of it and I wouldn't be caught dead going near it.
hmm any solution to his problem do let me know... btw I have started praying just before stepping outside my house hope it helps....

  1. I can imagine how annoying being in a situation like yours can be.People always enjoy mocking around and making fun of other's misfortune.

    I too would probably have reacted the same way as you did.

    Good work at the narration Megha.
    Cheers!!
