A PERSON TO REMEMBER!

Saturday, 27th Feb'10, 8.30am!
I was getting ready in a haste!! Am already late to office as I was supposed to be there in my work spot by 7.30am!
Well, its not something out of the ordinary for me as I will be late almost all the days in a work week!

Somehow I managed to get ready, came outta room and locked it!!
Just a matter of second when i was about to leave, "Did i miss something??", I asked myself!
"Man, how the hell you can forgot yar purse??" I scolded myself n went to room again!!
"Well, now everything is perfect", I told myself n came down!

"Toyota Camry???,Hyundai Accent??, Chevrolet Epica???,Kia Optima???", I was busy thinking about which one to choose!!
"It has been decided to go by taxi, so why to scupper??, I gotto choose the luxurious one, after all am gonna pay the same for all", I decided!!

I was in a urge to reach the work spot before my CRACK-BRAINED project manager arrives!! But these people in my villa dint allow me to leave!!
"Raja, Had break fast??"
"Raja, Why so late today??"
"Raja, kung bakit ay u kaya huli na ngayon?" (Well, this is from my beloved Filipino friend!!)
All kinda questions!! And am dame tired answering them!!
And atlast I got outta all those question and answer stuffs!! Thank god!

I found some three four taxis around me!! I thought bout my luxurious dreams, but none of those had fulfilled it! But I had no other choice coz am already late!
"Taxi", I shouted!!
The drivers saw me, and everybody came to me immediately!
"Well, now whom will I choose??", I thought!
Without wasting the time, I chose the one who came to me in 5.43seconds!!! First come First Service!!

I fixed the rate and got in!!
Some 5 mins passed!! I dint open my mouth and was busy updating my status in facebook!
The driver broke the ice after sometime!!

"Bhai, aap kithar se?? India??" ( Where are u from? India?), he asked me!
"Ahan bhai!, aap kithar se?"( yeah, and wer u from?) I asked him the same!
"India" he replied!
"India me, kithar?" I asked him again! ( Wer in india?)
"TAMIL NADU", he replied and the next moment, my face gone bright like a 1000watts bulb!!
"Ohhhhhhh, namma aala???", I asked!!
"Ada, neengalum tamil ah??," he was suprised too!

"Athe athe, appuram tamilnaatla enga??", I asked him!
"Naan thirunelveli, neenga?" He asked!
"Naan vellore!! Jail Nagaram! ", I replied!!
"Thats really cool, so how old are you in saudi!", he asked me!! (Obviously in tamil!)
"Just 1.5 years, and you??", I replied!
