A new year and a new approach to blogging is what I have in mind..I was reading through my blogs and found them extremely long..So I am gonna start writing shorter and sweeter blogs going forward...New year's day was great exchanging greetings with friends and family and enjoying the snow that happened after almost a month !This year I need to get going on track to get my DL..its been a long time since I took my first driving lessons..It was an extremely tiring 5 hour class after which I do not have the enthu to go and get another class..
My first class for driving started off on a nice cold morning at 7AM..The lady who was my instructor was from Rajasthan and spoke broken English with an even broken accent..After getting the money from me for the classes, she asked me to sit on the driver's seat..I was hrilled..Then we went ahead..she repeating the same things.."Whenever there is stop,stop'...'look,watch,careful,go'..(read in a singsong way) all with the typical accents...she was going on and on abt her school and how many drivers in NJ she has trained...when the car suddenly slowed down...she said "gas gas..." I pushed on the gas peddel hard..but even then the car wont move. Atlast we stopped the car in a corner and she tried a few things but the car wouldnt start..she frantically called her son and husband and her son came in after an hour with a new car..then we went to pick her brother who is feeling homesick in the country and dropped him to her house.. By this time, the time was 10...And then she let me drive the car..I was fully tired by that time and my headache was real bad..but she wudnt wanna lose the money..so I drove sleeping...listening to all her accented talks which were all the more irritating..and she spoke about how many policemen she knows, how many people she trains in a day and how many miles she drives and how she loves and know it all about driving and cars....After sometime, she gets a call from her son saying that the car,which broke down is good to go now..Guess what the problem was....THERE WAS NO FUEL in the car...So much for all her loud talks !! And I reached home at 12:30 after my lessons. I was damn tired and slept through the whole day...It was one of the horriblest experiences and I dunno how much long it will take for me to get back to the roads in the car again !!
