5 is my score!

After college, me nmohini decided to go to venus to buy some art material. So we drifted to abc on my nova. obviously, there was no shade n place to park! so my dear nova had to stand in the sun in a lane across. nevermind. me n mohini shopped paints, canvas, i needed 3d outliners for my glow signs project...our bill came down to Rs. 1241...!!!!! out of that, Rs. 900 was just my canvases! yeh..but canvas is something i never regret spending on...may it be canvas boards or even canvas shoes! venus gave us a huge bag enuf to fit in the 16x 20 canvas, other pieces were smaller. i also got a folding pallete for water colours, its cool n compact, dulange had suggested me to use it. but we dint find the 'hog hair' brushes we wanted for acrylics. So we boarded the huge venus bag on the bike in the front and off to 'trimurti', not to forget the ICICI ATM stop.!

now trimurti's is a still worse place to find a parking. So i left the bike in row of some bikes along the road, there wasnt a white line of demarkation anywhere, so i wasnt concerned! we shopped peacefully there, bought papers for mandar's project, hand made paper pads n got the brushes finally! this time the total went to Rs.354. the venus bag had much space to accomodate new art material n now it looked fatter! the shopkeeper even made fun of us saying- we shud've got a pram instead.!!! lol...!! while we laughed our way out of the shop, i find my bike is GONE!!!
it was TOED!! perfect! like my bike was screaming out-" plz take me away", when the rest of the bikes, more inapprropriately parked than mine, were right there!

I had already spent enough for the day. N this was the '5th ,FIFTH' time that my bike was toed, twice in mumbai at andheri, then 3rd time at ccd, law college road, 4th at j.m. road and now ABC! gr8! If anyone's bike is ever toed in pune, i know all the probable places to find it! We found out the nearest RTO parking ground and got my bike back at a good Rs. 350! ok, thats it, my pocket was empty, i wasnt even left with any change! coz i dint have the PUC in my bike so i was fined for that too!
mohini jokingly said, 'bhagwat bai, aj kai khara nahi!' True, having almost banged into 2 bikes on the way to abc and the whole shopping and toeing thing, it was fair to say that! on the way back home i found a PUC van. i jerked the bike to stop there! got the PUC done and it proudly lies in the bike from now on! no more toeing, plz suju. be more careful while parking yaar!
