Some days go by when you smile in the end thinking "my time was well spent". Indeed today is one such rare day - I can vouch for that as a successful day. I have shifted to my official quarters on 8th of April and 9th 10th a trip was planned to Shantiniketan. Upon my return I headed for Ahmedabad followed by Mumbai. Hardly there was any time, for me to set up the new house. The physical allocation of objects to the places have already been done, but my aesthetic sense did not get kick start until today. Of the loads of work that remains to be done here, one more task that was always existing as a priority but shifted back in the queue is the checkup of our new car! And learning driving in Indian cars and roads. I decided to take driving lessons and my trainer comes at 5 AM in the morning. Today was one such day, when just before leaving the house I casually grabbed my purse. But later remembered that I forgot my cell phone. To that I thought, well I will not need one... Today was my second class. It is needless to mention that in my first day, it was tough I could not get the vechicle move more than 2 inches. But today I was very comfortable with gear and clutch. Then we realized that the car needs fuel. So, we entered a gas station and filled in diesel. Bam, after that the car would not start. This problem existed earlier also, and we were taking it easy, now it was in its most severe mode - it did not start at all... I am not sure about my affiliation with god, I love to believe in karma, but then, all of a sudden I felt the urge to pray and request god to start the vehicle. It worked before most of the time, but sigh this time it did not. I thought damn, god is not going to help me, now what to do. Now long story short, I called my husband who made several phone calls. It was 6 AM in the morning, so obviously much help was not available. But miraculously, he found the customer services number that can tow your car for free if it is under warranty. Now they arrived towed the car to the dealer and did the machine checkup. But we were planning to schedule a car checkup earlier for this saturday, but they said , no it is not possible. But now it seems the car went forcibly for a checkup on saturday and that to we did not have to take it. That was the best part of it. I bought some plants, placed it in my sun room. Bought certain essential things of the house that was pending for a while. We posted 2 important documents that was also in thje todo list. The post office is just 10 minutes walking from my office and I got a call from flipkart guys that they are waiting at the office to deliver the product. I thought what a great timing!! I received my solar lantern ( a very cute one), got my nameplate, got names printed for the lobby and post box.Now this is called as the time indeed well spent and I am really very happy about the whole inconveniences, troubles amidst the silver lining that made the day a very happy one:-)
