@$$$#%@%

Yes if you could hear me I would be using the worst swear words you could have ever heard. My Monday was the worst it could possibly be and im not exaggerating. I was on my way to office. Stuck in traffic and roasting in the Chennai heat. I was taking the turn from the Rajbhavan road to Guindy. There were a whole lot of new changes. The road had been made one way. Good and bad. Good coz i wouldnt have to battle with the signal there. Bad coz there would be a mad rush from all sides towards Guindy and Saidapet. Was moving towards the left to turn and saw this man trying to cross. Slowed down out of common courtesy. The guy was staring at me. Something told me something was going to happen. Intuition. I instinctively shut my helmet. The freaking idiot looked me in the face and SPAT one me. YES YOU READ RIGHT...THE IDIOT SPAT ON ME. Freaking crap. He was chewing on Pan Parag and my tshirt was splattered with it. I couldnt stop coz i was in the middle of the road and something told me to just keep driving.
I was shocked. I was irritated. I wanted to hold the guy by his neck and smash his head against a lamp post. I wanted to shove him into a dustbin or a drainage. I wanted to simply kill him. I dont know if he did that out of some sheer stupidity or whether it was something driven towards me coz i was a WOMAN. Im not making a generalisation here but seriously what right does a man have over a woman...jus coz he is a man and does not necessarily have to use his head to think. Why i did not do what i wanted to do was simply coz i just had to get to the office and i did not know how to react.
All i could do was be thankful that i closed my helmet. Thank god he was chewing pan parag and not paan. Yewwwwwwwwwwww yuckkk!
