The CRASH

How one behaves in a crisis, says a lot about the person. So, if you wanna analyze each of us....Spend 10 minutes of your time reading this.

The astounding incident happened on the way back from our memorable COORG trip. So, we are on our way back in the rented Scorpio from Zoom cars.

The Incident :

Simon hits a car in front of us. 
A 10 second frozen moment followed by each one looking at each other with mouths open.
The victim family comes out, and the guys go out to discuss with them. 
They discuss and pay 3000 and come back.
Every one is in shock and we drive ahead.


As simple as the incident sounds this 20 mins incident still gives goosebumps. 
An hour or two before this incident occurred the flashback has these incidents includes -

On our way back from the three day trip.  The money calculations are done by Prabin on his "PHONE" calculator. (He shows off all his shit phones as if they are iPHONEs)

Simon is behind the wheels.

Prabin frowns on every speed breaker/hump hit by Simon. (Thats his usual behavior - he hates my driving too)
Achu is sleepy. 
Bharath in his own world. 
Kiran is in trance state, playing old Hindi songs and forcing us to listen to them.
I am shouting - "Next" for every Song played by Kiran.

As for driving, there are two people supposed to ensure safety.
Simon who is driving. Kiran who is guiding.

And then when we almost were heading the end of the trip, and everyone half awake and analyzing the pics of the previous days - the incident happened.

A slow version of this 10 mins episode goes like this :


I start the "Observation" as soon as Simon ramps the car ahead.

Simon does a slow face palm, followed by a Oh Shit. His palm took 1 minute 13 seconds to reach his face.

Sadistic though, Prabin is happy inside. He looks at me and his eyes speak the following words " I Knew this guy will screw it up"

I could hear Archana shouting "Oh My God"

Bharath had no reaction and looked around as if to ask "Why did you stop the vehicle?"

But the funniest of all was Kiran.
After the loud hit, 1 second silence, Kiran slowly paused the songs played, removed the cable slowly from the car stereo plugin, wrapped the cable, locked the mobile and then Shouted angrily "SIMON !!!!"

And me? I was observing them all!

When the guys came back after paying the money , they expected sympathy. 
But, bitches that we are, we made fun of them. The trip got even more exciting after that.

Recalculation of trip expenses, comparing Kirans orange jacket to a truck cover, hollyshit and Bullshit...the one hour laughable riot from Mysore to Bangalore. 


Btw, Prabin...You are missed big time!! 

P.S: Zoom cars did not charge us anything extra for this. 5 stars and special mention to them!
