Things That Bang

Past week the papers had been carrying news of disgruntled Indian oil companies unable to bear the brunt of steep price hikes of petrol. Being a lazy assed fool I had been driving around on an empty tank and today la dee da decided to visit one of the gas stations that I regularly visit on HSR.

They shooed me off- no petrol, went to another one - there too they had no stock, went to Koromangala they were out of petrol too. I was driving on empty and panic was bubbling in my mind. No Petrol!! The what ifs began-

No petrol- no food or steep priced food
No petrol- no transportation
No petrol- anarchy!!

I told myself to calm down decided to try the Shell gas station on Hosur Road. They had premium only. It was obviously no time to be a penny pincher. I got the tank filled, paid enough moolah to make me weep and returned home after driving fucking around for over an hour.

Lesson learned: Never remain in La La land for too long, reality tends to whoop the dreamer's ass!!
