The Day i left my Phone in the cab

raging fever. cold and an impending cough. There is no justice on earth. i was sprayed by a apassing fumigating auto. (literally. they were using an auto to fumigate a residential area.)i was sitting in the comoany cab and the 2 ladies next to windows decided to roll up after the smoke had suitably entered the cab's air system and our lungs. very smart..

anyway

suitable fumigated, i left the cab sans phone. i reach home. try to unlock the door. too dark . oh - " let me light my mob"
ha!
realisation
panic.
i rush to the neighbors place - locked
next place- no need
next place- wait wait. yes! i blurt out in english an hindi
"phone!" she gets it
i use it
noone picks up my phone.
5 mins later, the driver calls back.
he berates me.
i run to where he asked me to wait.
after one too many dirty glance, he begrudgingly hands over the instrument.
i skip home
calling to tell my amazing story of stupidity
