Anadi...

I was driving in the car today, and after a while i saw a truck being pushed by several people; trying to get it out of a small ditch.... the truck was loaded so it was like they were just burning calories; they needed help....

Of course there were people who were just hooting and cursing but I knew what I had to do....

I told my driver to stop the car.... opened my back-seat compartment - got out a nylon rope that I bought just a week ago for pulling cars; went to the truck.... tied a loop knot - (i was a good scout :-) told the driver to Reverse on a main road... aligned the rope with mine... bent to the bumper... tied the rope... and got in the car....

For an eerie moment it was like the whole world had stopped... no sound was being heard...
I told the driver to pull slowly.. in first gear (we prefer manual gear boxes in our cars here - I guess it's because we are control freaks) My pickup started to move slowly; and the rope tightened... the pickup stopped.... I told him to apply the throttle more and more and let go of the clutch more... the two vehicles started to move slowly... and finally the truck was out of the ditch... we went on pulling for half a kilometer for it was the main road... during this time; the driver of the truck managed to jump start the car - (something you can only do with manual gear boxes BTW) and we stopped on the side of a diverting road.

This whole episode above didn't take more than a minute - well may be 2 max... but the thing I'm trying to say is that... dare to solve what you can solve.

PS. the clutch got burnt and smelled so bad; the stench stayed in the car for the whole day.
The people in the truck thanked me so much that I felt blissful this whole day.

(well i'm always blissful but today was like dark chocolate mixed with almond nuts :-)


May the victims of the blast in India and the Earthquake victims in China have a speedy recovery.
As for the ones who have passed on;  nothing but prayers can reach them now; so let us pray...

and remember what you have to become : "one with God like sugar and milk".

like He did...
