There was a girl who loved driving her dad's car.
She drove on highway @ 110/hr...such was her confidence.
She took an overloaded car in heavy traffic, through narrow lanes, and none of the passengers(dada-dadi-chachi etc etc) knew driving...such was her confidence.
And then one day...she got married.
In the early days of marriage the couple did not have a car, but then they thought of buying one. The lack of practice, the changed city traffic and a lil bigger car did show some effect on the girlz driving...and she made a very smooth, nearly unnoticeable hit with a cart during the test drive.
The couple purchased the same brand and model...but the tragedy is...her hubby...thinking she wd not be able to drive...does not give him 'The Car'. Although she keeps on insisting that little bit of practice wd make her --if not perfect then atleast near to perfect!!!
Ya ya ya...that girl is noone else but me :(
Tell me guys...is it fair???
I mean...So what that this car we've got is just a little bigger than the one i used to drive... So what that i cant make out the left edge of it...so what that the clutch handling is little different then the earlier experience....he can still let me try no!!!
And...so what if I bang it once or twice...afterall it's a car...and log galtiyon se hi to seekhte hain naa :P Moreover...insurance kisliye hai???
Ok!! I know i made a dangerous statement...rub it off!!! don't imagine that u have read it and continue reading!!!
Same was the story when i was insisting him to get me a two-wheeler. My mum-in-law totally refused...she was pretty sure i'll bang into somebody...or something. And Ravi lost confidence in me.
C'mom!!! i had been driving for more than a decade...and they thought i'll screw it up??? I did a good emotionwada...i cant drive just bcoz i got married??? (Gals...i must not be saying this aloud...but emotionwaada is your best asset and tears can only make it better :P...in case you are wondering 'waada' is a slang in mewadi...u may say 'tanuwada' instead of 'tanupanti' :P)
Thanks to my office transport facility that they dont provide any facility for transport :)...Ravi did not had much options open. So i was reunited with my 7 year old friend...My Kinetic Nova :)
Ofcourse my dad-in-law drove and tested it before sending it here. (Must say...real cute and caring in-laws i have got :))
I like driving my old vehicle. Driving 45 mins one way sometimes takes onto me, but still, the feeling of not being dependent on any one fades it out!!!
Coming back to the car's story...
When i drive to office, i see cool gals driving their honda city to office or god-damn-place...even i dream myself to be in that situation...
But the case here does not look to be favorable... I can count on my fingers how many times i drove our car.(I have a log maintained in distance and time i spent with the steering x-( )
My sweetheart darling wd not let me touch his sweetheart darling...ofcourse...our car..oh...did i say our??? Nah...it's predominantly
What do you think...Will any of my emotionwaada work in this case?
i know your "dard" sweetie...i could also touch HIS car only when he has left it wimme for spoiling it :P :P maine already usko do scratch laga diye hai...once while putting it in the tight parking of our bldg and once while taking it out the same parking :P
ReplyDeleteHey - you need to convince him the pros~ when u can drive.. as wen u ppl are out for a long drive .. he can take some rest .. and you can drive, you will get the fuel tank filled - so, sharing that as well...
ReplyDeleteAnd keep trying -- Dzire will be in your hands soon ..
Great.. I too tell u one similar story.. some daz before I was having pain in one of my shoulder & unable to drive my bike or car. I told wife to drop me up to office..(as she knew driving car, but the new car here is little big & wider as same in your case ) The reply of wife was that " I will drop u office but in the return the car will go to garage not our bldg parking ". I was LOL.. couldn't stop for a few minutes..
ReplyDeleteNow I have a gud solution for u but dont imply it... just grab a oppotunity from your emotionwada to drive & give 'HIS CAR' a gud bang or hit so that he will loose his interest & love in car & the car then will be turn to 'OUR CAR'.. dont be serious..
hey dear me too agree with your "Dard"... same is the case with me... me who has used to drive a gear wala scooter... is no allowed to purchase a 2 wheeleer for myself sayig that i cant drive it in Gurgaon... "bahut traffic hain yaha... tu thok degi...
ReplyDelete' blah balh.... aur car toh rehne he do.... i am not allowed to touch his car and my dad in law says that he is afraid giving me the car as i can bang the car.....
@Shikdum & Pri: Seems to be the same story of all girlz i suppose. Hmm...we must revolutionize :P:P:P
ReplyDelete@Aman: So sweet Aman...might all this works out b/w U n Manisha...Ravi ko ye saare logic illogical lagte hain
@Kapil: Aapko ho kya gaya hai???? kahan se le kar aate hain aise aise solution??? To be honest...i wont like to see 'His' or 'Our' car with a bang in it's bum. After-all we love it :)
hmmm...the problem is "how do you convince your hubby that you are a good driver?"
ReplyDelete1) Check if there are any unused cars of your friends who are currently onsite. Make sure you drive your hubby on a weekend. You will be extra careful when you drive this car and secondly win over his confidence.
2) Buy a second hand car and try the same.
that was really thoughtful Shashi. But none of them works for me...no unused cars with any of my friends and no extra parking space in the apartment. :(
ReplyDeleteStory remains the same!
i have to be on Ravi's side on this one. He's right....u know everytime i'm driving, if some other driver pisses me off with ridiculuos driving, 90% of the time the driver would be a 'she'....i dont know what do u ladies think of the cars...they are machines damn it...u need to give them clear commands to make them work right. They are not ur husbands/boyfriends who would take ur super emotionnal bull shit and would still try to work on it ;)
ReplyDeleteAnother Boyish comment Tarun!!!!
ReplyDeleteIs everything alright?? Y so cross with girlz???
Grrrrr!!!! X-(
don't worry Ninnuu--- itne saare comments sunkr m sure- jeju vl def give u a chance to drive.. Meanwhile chill maar aur ASH kar with his driving..... till that time u can tease him siting on the other seat.:))bczz u can sleep, eat, do whtevr u want... but a driver can't :((
ReplyDelete(try this logic- shayd kaam kr jae ) :P
:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dibu! This definitely sounds convincing.
Infact...he already realized it on our trip to Yarcaud...wen he drove non-stop till bangalore and i had a veryy deep and nice nap :P
He even realize it when he sat on the 'side-seat' and gave me his gaadi to drive for 3 mins...he got to sit aaram se with a pushed-back...ready to sleep seat :)
Still...he does not let me drive :(
haha...thanks for all the nice comments..especially the one from Tarun :p
ReplyDeletebtw i can never relax on the 'side-seat' 'coz of the constant fear that gari is driving the car and that would increase the probability of an accident to 99.99999% (gosh!! she is gonna kill me for this comment)
