Where is my previous Blog. All my work gone in a jiffy? Ok I will go about it again. Ravi took me to Ludhiana market yesterday and what an experience it was. Went by a thing called share auto and the driver was so magnanimous that he never says no to any one and somehow makes room in that. Got down in a crowded street lined with shops where you can get everything under the sun, cds and dvds littered like fruits. Picked up a couple of sweaters from a 4 floor shop just piled with sweater and sweates of all size, shapes, colors and price. Then we went to have some sweets. Thats when I was stunned. The whole street was just nothing but heads , a sea of humanity stretching for as long as the eye can see. Stunned and amused we started weaving and meandering in the that roard, which actually means broad market.

Another stunning thing happened just a few yards in front of me. Suddenly a buxom lady slapped a tall young guy, the guy went terribly silent and started slithering as if nothing happened, but where to go, so our intreped girl leaned forward and smacked a few hefty blows to that guy's nape and poor guy cant retaliate lest he be savaged in that crowd and somehow sneaked ahead. Pity the guy who marries her. While returning the snail paced crowd stopped dead on the tracks and we got stuck for a long time consciously guarding out pockets.

Then we finally made it to the main street and hopped in a share auto. One guy wanted to get in with a long steel bar (gadaparai) and tried to prop near the driver and then had some better sense and got off. The shrewd driver beckoned the guy and gave him a what-a-fool-you-are look and then asked him to push the steel bar from the back, dividing me and ravi and resting on the floor of the auto, a good one foot projecting out at the back. God save some car or any vehicle coming at the back and our guy slamming the brakes. Oops and then got out and went back to SPS apollo hospital and the kind soul ravi came till the lift, actually I asked him to come so that I dont have to deal with the security in punjabi. An eventful day it was.
