from my diary: i had a troublesome day today ...i went to bed at 7 yesterday (in fact it was already today's morning!!) ..and then had to wake up at 10 because dai ko aja driving permit ko lagi written test thiyo , so had to take him to the DMV (department of motor vehicles) ...he gave the test, got paased , but forgot to take the necessary immigration paper so had to come back to home!...that wasn't all ....then we went to grocery shopping as we almost had ran out of food since last few days ...and was very hungy by we finished our shopping and decided to go to our favorite chinese buffet restaurant ....we had good lunch and we were heading out of the restaurant door...i said to myself "wait a minute! where are the keys !"..and that was it ...it took rest of our day to reach to the place where our keys were...so close, yet so far ! ...bhaye cha k bhane i had locked the key inside the car !!!...and guess what with the engine still running ...my god , i knew i was absent-minded, but to that limit, never had imagined of ... ..we tried all we could to get to the keys or to open the doors or anything for that matter ....tara k garnu bal le matre nahudo rahecha, "liver" pani chahido rahecha !....dai ra ma we were just looking to each other's "bichara" face , trying to ask "now, what next???" ...ghar ta janu parcha kare !...ani moreover, to add more grief in our pain, it was only raining earlier, now it started snowing ..thank you so much upper wale ...you are so kind !!!! ....then went back to the restaurant, thinking atleast it's warm there !....bhagye pani kasto ....chinese restaurant !!!.....the only english they understand is "dollar" and the only chinese we know is "chowmin", which certainly wasn't going to be of much help much for us, though it helped when asking for food ! ...then one of the customer maybe felt pity on us and told us he will see if he can do anything ...he got into his car and took out his antenna, but our car's doors were automatic so wasn't going to help with that antenna because the door with lock was twice distance far than the total length of the antenna !....but he had atleast wonderful idea for us, he knew the locksmith who helped to open the locked car's door...but he didn't have that guy's phone number and we didnt have the phone ...what a coincidence!!!...thank god , in fact thank him, he let us borrow his cell phone ...we called the police !....did u say why ?...to get the lock smith's phone number niii ,it was that gentle man's idea too...mero ta khopadi le kaam garne bhaye po !....it worked out , got the phone number finally ....and also called the locksmith and he was ready to open our "ill-fate" door !....but before he put down the phone he said something to me that kept both dai and my mouths' wide open ..."it will cost you 36$ and the mileage to open the door(mileage means we had to pay for his gas of the car for whatever miles it takes to come there !) " ....i thought i heard it wrong at first time ..i asked him "are you kidding???" ...com'on 36$ to open the silly door, you must be kidding !....he on return said to me, "hey dude, do you really want to open the door?" ....that question kept me silent !....do i have choice ra i said to myself, afailae dhikardae !!!...he said it will take him 15-20 minutes to be there ...we waited believing him not even worrrying about the snow...just looking at each other's face and trying hard to smile !...15 minutes became 30 minutes tara sale gadha ko ato pato chaina ....at about after 35 miutes he came with a biiig van !...i really mean big hae....i asked with dai "did he bring rocket launcher to blow or car or what ?"...dai wasn't feeling any different too but said let's just wait and watch ....he came, looked at the car and do u know what he said..."u know what, you car seems to be 05 model, i forget the necessary euipment at my shop.'...oh my goshhhhh..."what was that biiiggggg van for then you fat ugly hatti."... i thought i will say that in his face ...but later only decided to say to dai's face after he went , knowing that calling "fat" is the biggest insult here and, u know, i really do love my life... ...then it was another 30 minutes wait, but this time we made 'inteligent' use of our 'gobre khopadi' and went inside the restaurant to wait, knowing that, that haatti wont be back earlier ....he came back with the "equipment"...can u imagine what on the earth was the equipmet that he had forgotten to bring? ....about a meter long steel wire !!!....i serioulsy thought it was really a big equipment which might not have fit in his van so he had forgotten....i started debating to myself, was that haati more absent-minded or me? ..and then he started his venture....gaffadi no. 1 ....if this named movie is to be ever made in bollywood....govinda might have retired, he is the perfect substitution !....kaam bhanda kura besi bro ko !...and guess what? ...he had book for the instructions , and the only thing he was doing was he had inserted that his 'precious may-be-thus forgotten' steel wire from the window and was now trying to press the unlock button on the next window ....to do this, u need a book???...what a crap ! ...'try, try until you will die' would surely come true today if we had kept on letting him try to press that unlock button ...but then in this great absent-minded's "liver" an idea stroked and asked that hatti to take a break, after all he must be really tired with all that "hard" work ...my idea was to push the window button as the car's engine was still on ....the window button was on the same side and was easy to push...it took me 2 minutes to push that window button and finally open the door !.....yeeeeha ! ...to our astonismnet, the happiest person was that hatti !, god knows the reason .....the next thing he did was handed us the slip of 36$ !...did he left us any options ra !..we started emptying our wallet...do u know what he said as a farewell words????...."it has never took me this looong to open any locked door, and i even proved the book wrong by not following the instructions."....k re you opened the door re!....hey bhagwan k garu yes laeee.... i decided i don't want to talk to him anymore ...and god knows what i will do if i see him again ever ...he took our hard-earned 36$, wasted our precious 2 and half hours which otherwise i would have spent with something more productive and at the end also took the credit for opening the door !...what a good day it had been ...tara dai said something that made us proud and we started patting each other's bk..."thaha cha bhai tyo gadha le mile-age ko ta paisa liyena niii"...."ani ta hae"...what a reason we found to be proud of ourselves ! ...then, dai lae i dropped to his boss house, came back dead tired (of ocurse with that kind of day and only 3 hours sleep this morning!!!) only to see what i already knew ....my sweetie had already been offline !!....i wish i could cry now...or i wish my sweetie knew what had happened ....but before that feeling keep me occupied too long , i had already started smelling something bad!....amn't i suppose to be at work at 5?!!!? and its 20 minutes to 5 when it takes 35 minutes to reach to work ....dhanyebad cha bhgwan aja ko deen lae ...atleast work was OK , and no one bothered to notice of my late coming ....just got back from work and i am writing what a great day it had been today! ...good nite...zzzzzzzz
