The guy in the truckvan stopped at the intersection to my left, waived me to go ahead and take my left turn and suddenly another car comes out of no where.

I stopped at the stop sign and was waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear, so that I could make a left turn. But suddenly , there were pedestrians corssing , so the oncoming car stopped for them to cross. And then he waited for me and to make my left turn... which according to the rules , he shouldn't stop and should take his right of way. But he waits, looks at me , waives me to go ahead as there was no traffic behind him.

I pumped up the gas pedal and suddenly a car comes into sight... she honked, but she was so close that there was no time for me to react.. SMASH! For few moments I was blank, a sudden shock to my brain , my both feet on the break pedal and hands on the steering wheel shivering. I thought i was gonna faint..The only thought which struck me was how much is it gonna COST and will the lady call the POLICE?. I immediately called Uday to let him know the situation n asked what do I do next? He just said take the person's details and give ur details as well. The lady comes to me n asks " do you want to call the police or do you want to resolve it between us?"

I had to repeat every sentence... couldn't speak a word properly. The traffic lined up and ppl were honking.. The lady comes and tells me to park at a safe place and talk. There was on- coming traffic to my right and .. right then I learnt something... about the californian people ... they don't have patience.. damn these ppl ..they were honking at me continously and shouting. One even said "go get a life" .. I mean whats the hurry.. I know i was blocking the intersection... there was heavy traffic to my right.. now how the hell would I make a left turn there?

We parked our vehicles n exchaged the information , took pictures and while leaving, she started saying ... "Its your fault.. if the guy waived you ..that means you have to stay in his lane" .. I faught back ... n guess what she was expecting a 'sorry'.. but i didn't. Why?? 'coz it was her fault too.. the speed limit on that road was 35mph and she was speeding up a 'lil bit 'coz she was getting late for the appointment.

I came home, called uday to let him know. My hands were still shivering, I tried my best not to cry .. but the water tank on my head was overfolwing :D... I went and crashed... woke up at late evening. Uday didn't want me to cook , but I didn't wanna go out for dinner..was still in trauma. He decided to help me in the kitchen.. prepared the food had dinner and was off to sleep.

It took 4 days to come out of the trauma.. but I'm shit scared to drive now. Since then something or the other pops up.. recently i received a hefty bill from the community college for the courses which I didn't attend a single class(the professor's are supposed to drop if i anyone dosen't attend).. and then at the gorcery store, a bottle of tomato sauce which accidentely slipped from uday's hand.

Why is it that every person dosen't remember the simple things which bring happiness to them , which come their way without even asking or expecting about it and why is it that most of us crib about the things which we want, never happened?

We do cherish sweet memories, but many of us still complain about things which didn't or don't happen the way we want them to and get depressed. When talking about old memories , at some point in the conversation we'd say ' I wish it happened' or 'I wish my parents said ' ... and later on we keep repeating those three words ' I just wish ', be it personal or professional.

You wake up early on that day with excitement... get all dressed up in one of your old clothes... sneak into your parents bedroom and apply colour on your parents face while they are still asleep...and wake them up by suddenly shouting 'Happy Holi' in their ears... you knock your neighbour's door but they don't open 'coz your hands are all coloured... you go back home clean your hands n knock on everyone's door... you trick them saying 'mom sent these sweets' ... sneek in to your friends room slowly n shout 'Happy Holi' and colour their face... you wait on the stairs for your friends to gather... drag all the people out who are afraid of holi ... throw water balloons filled with colour from your balcony on the people and hide immediately so that they don't complain to your parents... your parents shout at you to go out and play 'coz you are messing up the whole house with holi colours.

when i was in Michigan one of my friend gave me these fishes [as a gift i think ;)] . She didn't know how to take care of them and she decided to give 'em to me. I used to take good care of these fishes. Whenever i was alone i used to talk with them. Initially they were afraid of me , but as time passed we became good friends :) sounds wierd eh? well may be.

I still remember when i was a kid I used to spend most of my time watching the fishes in our small accquarium. Even now whenever i'm depressed i go to Walmart{'coz i dont have a fish tank at home.. havta buy one.} and watch these fishes.

I'm telling you, it's so refreshing & peaceful and you will forget all your tesions, be it work related stress or depression or anything.

Try it out for yourself and tell me the difference.

Dear Friends,

Kindly take a couple of minutes to go thru this mail. If useful may advise others also .
Please pass this on to others this happened in Paris recently and may happen elsewhere also.

A few weeks ago, in a movie theatre, a person felt something poking from her seat.
Whe n she got up to see what it was, she found a needle sticking out of the seat with a
note attached saying "You have just been infected by HIV". The Disease Control Center (in Paris ) reports many similar events in many other cities recently. All tested needles were HI V Positive.

The Center also reports that needles have been found in cash dispensers at public banking
machines.We ask everyone to use extreme caution when faced with this kind of situation. All public chairs/seats should be inspected with vigilance and caution before use. A careful visual
inspection should be enough. In addition, they ask that each of you pass this message along to
all members of your family and your friends of the potential danger.

Recently, one doctor has narrated a somewhat similar instance that hppened to one of his patients at the Priya Cinema in Delhi. A young girl, engaged and about to be married in a couple of months, was pricked while the movie was going on. The tag with the needle had the
message "Welcome to the World of HIV family". Though the doctors told her family that it takes about 6 months before the virus grows strong enough to start damaging the system and a healthy victim could survive about 5-6 years, the girl died in 4 months, perhaps more because of the "Shock thought".
We all have to be careful at public places, rest God help!

Probably ur mail can help some save his/her life.



Ok now here comes my question.
~ What do you mean by "A few weeks ago" ?

Ans:
Lets say
.. a few weeks ago means 2 weeks back {nah it can't be 2 weeks}
..hmm.. a month ago { may be}
or say .. 6 months ago { could be}
or lets just say ..12 months ago {do u think so?}
even better .. say 24 months ago { really?!?!?}

Can somebody really tell me what ' A few weeks ago' actually means , 'coz i'm so so confused.
Or should I say .. Angry?

Wonder how ppl fwd these kind of mails. Silly Arch . Don't you know they received this for the first time.

My humble request is that whoever made up this story ... pleaseee come n meet me. So that i can take you to the Mental Hospital . Nah I' ll just kill .

EDIT: wanna know if this is real or fiction ?? you can read it at truth or fiction.

It was saturday morning feb 18th, I got up early morning .. can you believe i got up at 5:30 :o n got ready .. That morning was so refreshing, the sunrise, the horses grazing, the fog.. after driving half way , I realised that I forgot my jacket.
Drove back to home. We were supposed to start by 6:30, guess what? there was traffic at 7:00 and that too on a saturday morning. Where are all these people going?? May be they too were heading towards Reno. The 580 route was busy, I was the navigator and I forgot to tell uday that we had to take the 680 route to Sacramento and that we missed the exit. This time I could see the anger on his face.
