Murphy's day out......!!!

Heavy rains and thunder with dark clouds suddenly looming and this poor guy getting caught in the rain suddenly… My car refused to start and I panicked.. Tried my skills to get the machine run and when failed call up my mechanic who is far away and a bit drunk… tried all the possible rescue numbers and then at last get the 24 hours rescue and emergency team of the most trusted Maruthi dealer in town…

I explain the nature of the problem ( symptoms rather) and after which comes the assurance we are there sir.. in 10 minutes… one hour later and after some 231 thunder and lighting flashes later, I call them and they are still 10 minutes away.. finally a group of three guys (young teens who looked dead tired) arrive and one of them come out, tries his bit, comes out and announces to a waiting me…

It is a break down…

I knew it and hence didn’t find any news value in it…

So… I ask…

Don’t you know any house near by?....He asks…

Why? I get tense again…

No… we don’t have the tools.. the head of the 24 hours emergency and rescue team tells me without a bit of shame…

What you mean?.. I said…

He meant what he said.. they are an awesome threesome who is on a drive on a rainy evening with some other mission… an idiot with his car that got stuck some where on the road is the last of their problems…

You have a rope? He asks me…

I would have asked him whether he is so ashamed that he wanted to commit suicide but didn’t ask ( for obvious reasons)..

Again…. This time almost crying… I ask…. why?

So that we can tie it and take it to your home…
pat comes the seasoned reply...

How will I have a rope my dear…. ? I ask in shock..

He didn’t reply but had it written on his face that those jokers who drive around in cars have to carry at least a rope, big and strong enough to pull your car…
I don’t have a rope.. I take them to IBS where I work, where I know there is a long rope.. we get back , they tie it and then drag the car to my home.. we had almost reached and as I thank Murphy for having stopped his dance, comes the climax….

The rescue car refuses to move… the team try and try and finally they accept defeat.. I pray to Lord Murphy to spare me and let me get back home… the rescue car starts and some how my car is pushed into my car porch…

I try to advise them.. the F*&^%$$ng Marketing Professor that I am…

It is unbelievable that mechanics of your firm couldn’t do this… I guess this is a minor work…

He smiles at me and it flashed more powerful than all the 231 lightning flashes.... he then told me that secret… we are not mechanics sir… we are just trainees.. and I joined just last week…

Amen....I said... !!
