ANGELS but thankfully no DEAMONS.. part II :)

The last time i was talking about an angel was the time when i was going home.. Now this is the time when i was returning... Luckily i had a chance to meet another angel on my way back.. i was going to take a flight from Delhi..the flight from Varanasi got late and i reached 20 min before the flight from Delhi....
The airlines people did not allow me to board the flight.. i was almost in tears but couldn't make a show in public.. finally i paid a fine and booked the next flight to Bangalore with the same airlines which was @ 8... i would probably reach @ 10.30- 11.00 and then 1.5 hrs back to my home... the thought of traveling alone @ night freaked me out.. my parents were fully stressed back home but there was nothing they could do from there.. they asked me to call my cousin after reaching Bangalore but firstly i did not want to trouble him and next my ego did not want to take anyone's favor..( wrong decision on my part )
i was all alone waiting at the Delhi airport and cursing my luck.. then finally i boarded the flight and it reached airport at around 11.00.. at that time i did not know much about Meru cabs.. Dad had asked me to stay at the airport and then get back early morning.. but morning i had to go to office and also when i reached airport i came to know that there is no such facility as staying in airport..
I had no other option but go out and take the BIAS buses.. Though i am non- alcoholic i took God's name and prayed for some dutch courage;);).. i asked the bus people and found there is no bus that goes till my area but there was another which comes near my area but it was very risky as from there i had to take an auto.. and it would be around 1.00 am when i would have reached near my area...
I was contemplating what to do but then i thought.. lets go.. as there was no other option left.. The reason i did not want to take my cousin's or any friends help was simply because i had not come to Bangalore depending on anyone.. what if i did not know anyone here.. we should always try to be self sufficient..
So now when i was about to board the bus.. i saw another guy asking about the area i wanted to go and then he also was about to board the other bus which was going the nearest to our area..
I don't know what vibes i got, i thought the guy was descent and i again asked the conductor in front of him and then he asked me where i am going.. he said we could share the auto from there.. don't know why i agreed..i felt he was a nice guy.. poor him he slept off in the bus.. my few friends who came to know about this mishap called me up and offered help but it was difficult for them also as even they wouldn't get auto at the wee hours of the night.. so when my stop came it was around one and i saw that guy was still fast asleep.. out of my helping nature and also that i needed that guy to help me get an auto atleast i thought of waking him up.. "excuse me, the stop has come".. he woke with a start.. we got down..
Like a fool i had jam packed my suit case and it was extremely heavy.. he helped me put it down from bus.. then when we got down, the area near my place.. which is over crowded during day... was scary and eerie at night.. the auto person asked 100 bucks.. the guy got irritated and he suggested we should cross and take auto from other side.. autos were very very few in nos.. and i thought .." gosh, why is he bothering about money.. its important we reach home safely.." but i kept mum..
he offered to carry my bag to cross the part as it was quite an amount of distance we had to cross..chivalrous.. :) he did for some distance but i did not want to take advantage so i carried .. actually somehow dragged my suitcase.. finally we got an auto for 60 bucks.... but while we were crossing.. don't know why he said.." if i was alone i would have walked only.." he had all the rights to say that.. but truth really hurts.. poor him i was actually a burden at that time.. but i really needed his help.. finally we got into the auto and he offered to drop me first.. though his place came first.. i felt bad and offered him 40.. he took only 30.. saying he actually wouldn't have taken money but then.. i don't know but in auto i asked him from where he is coming.."chennai..".. i told him how i had missed flight and got in this trouble.. he shouldn't think that i am half mad to travel so late at night.. once i got down don't know why i asked his name.. thanked him.. thanked god.. for sending an angel..who got me home safely..he stays near to my place.. but i never got to see him again.. perhaps because in that DARK NIGHT and ANXIOUS situation i hadn't noticed his face properly.. though i think he was cute;);)
Later i actually smiled at the whole situation.. it was just like a movie.. "JAB WE MET;);).." ishstyle.. but thankfully not literally.. and when we were walking to get an auto it seemed as if.. "HUM RATLAM KI GALIYON MEIN CHAL RAHE HAIN ITNI RAAT KO":):):)... quite an imagination i must say.. but at that frantic situation nothing struck me.. all this funny thoughts came in later.. i wish i would have actually met SHAHID.. but whoever he was, he was really really helpful at that hour of need.. otherwise don't know what would have happened..............

ANGELS but thankfully no DEAMONS:)

Its been rightly said that "Strangers are friends we haven't yet met....."
sometimes we come across people who have an everlasting impact in our lives and they leave us wondering... DO ANGELS STILL PREVAIL???????
I was doing my internship in Bangalore after college...as usual missing the amazing college life i had had. This used to make me feel more home sick and it was during march that my parents were supposed to come over to Bangalore but due to some problem they could not turn up and i felt numb at the thought of not seeing them soon..
Suddenly plan was made that i could have a small 3 day trip back home so immediately dad had my tickets done.My joys knew no bounds:):):)
Off late the Bangalore airport has been shifted to the outskirts and it takes around 1.5 to 2 hrs to reach the airport. In excitement i got up on time to take the bus for airport but as luck would have had i couldn't get the bus at the right time and now i became anxious and moved to another bus stop and came to know that the bus from there also had left:(:(.. i was so nervous as what to do coz my flight was scheduled one n a half hour from then and there was no way i could reach airport on time...
i saw another good looking girl standing there worried that she had missed her bus.From somewhere this guy turned up... may be an angel sent by GOD.. he came and asked both of us if we three could share a taxi to airport.Since it was the only ray of hope i could see so i agreed and also because another girl was there with me. Both their flights were @ a later time but the guy asked the driver to drive fast...and fast.. and faster.. it seemed as if he was missing his flight... i mean generally guys tend to be extra sweet to girls who are eye candies or perhaps much better than average... but seeing someone being so concerned about a girl.. completely stranger and much below average in looks made me believe... the world still homes genuine people..
Thanks to my stars i reached airport 15 min before departure.. i wasn't aware about the UDF charge but the guy asked me to pay that and he ran to the entrance with my suitcase... poor him.. leaving that fragile looking pretty girl to carry her own luggage as at that time my getting into the flight was top most priority... By god's grace the airlines people allowed me to check in.. 10 min to go.. i ran towards the security check.. and just before going for security check the guy said "have a safe flight.. drink some water after boarding.. you will feel better:):)"those words seemed sweeter than honey at that moment and i thanked him and ran... my heart blessed him and in a hurry i couldn't take his contact details to than him properly... but wherever he will be.. i am sure he will be giving angelic touch to people's life.. i would always be sincerely thankful to him.. i mean in this world where friends also act as strangers.. someone came out of the blue and touched my life....

P.S.: PART 2 COMING SOON;);)

PROLOGUE;)

Many of my friends have asked me to start blogging and to tell the truth i have tried once on some other blogging site. but somehow it has not worked out till date. Don't know why i suddenly joined eblogger and am writing my first blog at this wee hours of morning... but something is there.. some turmoil inside that is provoking me to write(i can write only when i am emotional;))
so yes as i was telling abut friends suggesting me to start blogging.. well dunno what fun or pleasure or comfort it gives.. but it surely has some charm.. and finally i decided to experience this charm...
My writing won't seem hi-fi or something out of the world but i hope it will have something(at least even if its a line)interesting to read and i hope to gather some readers atleast..:)
