A Day began like this ...

Today morning I got ready very early. As early as I cud walk very leisurely to the bus stop taking ten minutes. Thanks to my mom in law who was doing all my work!!! :) Since I even had time to write a C program for finding GCD of two numbers sitting at bus-stop, I was seeing the kids going to school, women hurrying to office and men waiting for the buses, guys stareing girls ...etc. A bus just slowed down at a cross road very next to my bus stop and a decent looking man got down. He walked down the cross road just in front of me and in a low voice he greeted me 'Hi Darling'!!! Think poor guy cud not see a mangalsootra in my neck. But I had all the time in the world to take revenge against him ... and started yelling at him at the top of my voice possible. "Heyyyyy ... what do u think of yourself? What did u tell just now..." I cud think of at least 5-6 dialogues (more stronger ones) to yell at him. But did not get a chance to tell at all. Think he tot the whole women lot of Vijayanagar Bus stop wud come to my rescue for the volume I shouted at. He started literally running from that place. I cud sense the shiver he wud have had in his legs, bcos even I was bit tensed wondering what if he wud have come back to talk to me?!!!
But luckily he did not come back and my day was made as I had reacted a little different than wht I wud do usually. Most of the times in my previous experience the words I hear wud go into my mind after some 60 seconds, by which owner of the comment wud have sinked in some road or between ppl and I wud be left with bitter feelings! God helps me to begin few days with lotz a strength and presence of mind... :) Hope it continues with all the girls who are in similar situation like me...
