i got behind the steering wheel again after wasted attempts over 3 months ago. I did the classes with a 70yrs instructor who used to hit me with a scale everytime i made a mistake. As long as he didnt wear leather...
then i started practising with my husband. He is VERY patient, but then you know how it is, I cant say anything to whipping instructor even when he hits me, but pati going just one level above in volume, tears would start dropping clouding my vision and further deteriorating my already weak concentration levels.
And then ofcos temperamental differences come in the picture! I am mad risk taker getting cheap thrills out of sharp turns, hubby is more sensible and safe driver. So, i would drive saying "But when i really drive, i cant drive like this naah, all safe n careful!". And he would go "Par meri Maa, you should atleast know how to!!"
Today was tad better. I cried ONLY once and car stopped just a coupla times. I dont know why i get into a frowny state everytime i am learning. Guess the fact that it takes so long kinda irritates me to no end. The fact that its not just dependent on the way you drive, but on thousand other morons on two and in 3 and 4 wheelers with whom you have to share the road. AAArrgghhh!!
I have been having my usual doubts about Bumpy's existence! Mayunk kept telling me that i have to stop being stupid! He can see me look fatter everyday. I guess this is the only time he can say it without risking my wrath or tears. Hehe! "You are getting fatter" puts a smile on my face! :)
Had a terrible backache yesterday and to think that its just the beginning. I cant stand for too long at a time or walk too much, tho my doc said after 14 weeks i could go for short walks as exercise. Right now getting out of razai for something as dull as walking isnt a great idea for me! But getting those kilos off will be so tough later!
i will worry about it later too!! ;)
Bumpy - love you lots! :)

driving on bangalore roads is such a pleasure. as international media keeps proclaiming, the smartest people live in bangalore. we are smart. everyone else is too. smart and macho. coz following road-rules is only for pussies and wussies.
i wish some of the international media actually comes down to bangalore and dare *drive*. they'd get a whole new perspective on VMDs. "Vehicles of mass destruction".. the yellow-plated Indica, Qualis and Omnis.
under the circumstances, ur mom's driving rocks bumpy! u will be proud :-)
