I finally got round to book a ticket for the trip to Chennai. No trains – so that left only the bus option! The best private buses were already booked as it was Diwali weekend. I hunted around for an hour in the hot afternoon and finally ended up booking the Government Airbus – slow and not the most comfortable. But thats all I could get for the weekend. I paid for the ticket on the dusty counter and pocketed it and rode back. A gust of wind suddenly blew the ticket out of my pocket and sent it flying onto the road! I almost didnt even realise it till I was about 50 meters away. I turned back and saw the ticket dancing on the road with vehicles zipping around it. Luckily I managed to retrieve it without a problem and folded it into my wallet – safer! I can imagine the frustration if I hadnt got the ticket! It wouldve been a waste of 1 hour, a lot of sweat and 380 rupees! I guess God uses even our carelessness to show He cares!! So – hope the trip to Chennai is less eventful.
