Lost cycle....

"Ma...i should think abt a new 2-wheeler. Should be a comfortable choice compared to bglore autos for a 2 km.." A girl in bglore said this to her mom. Answer as expected was a big Noooo. No other way but to postpone the idea.Later one day her brother had to leave to US. "Dei anna.. anyways u r moving out of India for a while. Why dont I take ur 2-wheeler till then to bglore?" .. "No way" was the instant reply..Poor gal.

Finally she was left with the choice of eco-friendly, cheaper,safer(??), healthier mode of transport - Cycle. One fine day, when her parents had come to bglore, she bought a new cycle. She atleast felt relieved that there wont be any more fights with bglore autowalas.

On the same day the cycle was purchased, her dad performed some pooja to it. Her cycle was decorated with garlands near the handle bar. Thinking that it will not hamper the ride, she chose not to take off that garland herself. All she knew about her cycle was, there would be a garland in front and it belongs to F1 series of Hero Cycle.She was not aware of the Font size of F1 in cycle. But when she bought the cycle, that was the first word that caught her eyes.

Finally, she had a self-managed mode of transport to office. It was not as easy as expected. She had to stare at 2-wheeler, auto guys who came on her way. Sometimes she thought if it was a bad option to come in cycle to office, just for the 2 slopes on the way to office. It was tiring and she was completely drenched with sweat before she could reach office. 5 days to office in cycle dropped to 3 days to office.

If there was a chance to skip the cycling to office, she felt relieved sometimes. But she made up her mind to go in cycle atleast 3 days a week.

One wednesday, she had gone to cycle in office. Evening, before she could start from office, it started raining. Friends around suggested her to leave the cycle in office. She thought it was not a bad idea after all. With the confidence that it would be safe, she left for the day. Same continued the next day. She didnt bother to ensure if the cycle was safe. Company had staff to take care of them. why should she??

It was friday. If she is not taking her cycle that day, it would stay in office for 2 days. Bglore weather in the evenings would always tempt her to go on a long cycle ride. she didnt want to miss it that weekend. Though she was tired, she gathered all her strength mentally and physically,to leave the office in cycle.

She happily left to the parking space. Many people do come to office in cycle. She said to herself "Look at that. Someone has a cycle with same colour as mine".

Happily thinking these, she started searching for hers. Oops. where is it? Someone had stolen it. There s no safety in office. What are security guards for? Its not even a month old. How will she say this in her house??? All thoughts flashed through her mind within seconds.

She called the security people and informed about the lost cycle.

They : When did u leave it here, Mam?
She: 2 days back
They : How will it look like?
She: Its Hero model. Maroon colour. I never ever dreamt of my cycle being lost while in office.
They: Wait madam. Why dont u call someone in house and confirm if the cycle is in house
She: Do u think I am such a fool to hav my cycle left in house and searching for it here in office? what s this response!! I would prefer talking to someone at higher level.

She was confused and confused the guards too. She was not in her senses.She would feel better if someone came for help. She made her colleague come to the parking space. "I never expected this to happen." - she was on the verge of crying.

Security guards again asked her "Madam. How will your cycle look like?"

She: How do I explain them!!!why do they ask the same question again and again!!!

Her colleague came to her rescue. He pointed out to the same cycle that she had seen few minutes before. "Something of this type right?" .

She replied "exactly.. something of this type"

Guards came near the cycle to take a look at it.

She came around the cycle once and finally started shouting .

"hey wait wait wait...1 min. I think this should be mine"

Others:????????????

She took out her cycle key and tried to unlock it. It did :)

Easy to imagine the reaction of everyone around.

Security head "Mam. Next time, if you plan to leave your cycle at office, please let me know so that I can help you in spotting your cycle"

Now,all security guards are her friends expecting her to come in cycle everyday. :P

Her friends teased her asking how on earth a gal will not know how her cycle looked like...

Her reply: Listen...Its not my mistake. I always identified it with the garland in the front. Someone had taken it off wen i had left it in office...

!!@@$$$$$$!!!!

wanna aprreciate her for this???

Search for that gal...And as u all know,its not me for sure....:P
