{The part two of my
driving experience}
On second day, Bunny
Instructor and Knowing were standing at door step early in the morning.
Overexcited Daredevil too was up with the first sound of alarm. But the Scared
Cat who had hunted words late night was not willing to wake up. It was the time
for the scared Cat’s sacred dream time. Yet she was pulled out of her sister’s
comfortable bed and was forced to brush and wash her face. Life for next one
month was going to be harsh for the scared Cat.
The carbon gray car was again out into the
blue to its practice field in Pink College. Pink College was not informed about
the training hence its huge gates were locked up. Bunny Instructor took the car
to ITI field which was an open ground for masses. Daredevil went on her usual
whirlpool of driving, the same story of clutch break accelerator began and
smell of burnt oil ran in air. Yet the Daredevil was not the one to back off.
The more the car resisted, more the Daredevil suffocated it. An eternal war of
the power sprouted between, The Daredevil, Bunny Instructor and the Car. Once
the car started to move, the ground became her patriarchal rights. Earth was
proved round; the concept of Time-Space-Action happily collided. The people
sitting behind were praying to the Goddess to help them survive the day. Bunny
Instructor kept whispering “slow sister slow.” But Daredevil either failed to
hear it or chose to not respond. When her steering wheel was held by Bunny
Instructor from one side, she became agitated and gave up rotating her
wheel. So it became a ‘Universal Truth’
in Daredevil’s mind that her Bunny Instructor was fearful person. This was the
final judgment passed for being over careful on Bunny Instructor’s part.
When Knowing came to
wheel, he was forever in his boosted confidence of pre-requisite knowledge
about the world of car. The ever smiling brother of the Juxtaposed Sister Duo
was in his driver seats and eager to hone his blessing. The god of machines was
not so kind to him either; he was destined to the same fate of smell of burnt
oil and shaky car. The new car was suffering the same tortures the new bride
suffer in daily soaps at hands of her in-laws. Bunny Instructor by god’s grace
had the patience of a tortoise. He would calmly yet very sharply point out the
mistakes and stupidity committed while driving. The Lesson Knowing got is
Practical is always harder than Theory. Saying is easier than doing.
Scared Cat was sleeping
and awake at same time. The vision was blurring and the air slapping her face,
the sound of hauling car had no effect on the brain. Soon Bunny Instructor
called her to grab the already hot seat and hot wheel. With sleepy eyes and
slouching body Scared Cat went ahead. The short legs at first failed to reach
the clutch, break and accelerator. After gluing her small eyes with the specs
she finally found her weapons to step on. Very similar feedback was provided by
the car to this humbug of a driver. Inside the heart of the Scared Cat, a
murmur was happening, the murmur of extreme fear. The world above the bumper
seemed to fade into the rising sun. The rays of the sunlight burned the eyes
behind the spectacle. Her heart kept
thumping finally the car started and soon she was rotating her wheel and taking
turns with bumps and jumps. Bunny Instructor kept saying her “don’t be afraid
and move your hand freely”. Yet the Ignorant Cat kept holding tight unto her
wheel. The world behind the backseat of the car was all happy and joyful rides.
The Harsh Reality soon had her bite on the paws of the cat: Driving was not
going to be a child’s play.
(Meanwhile, Scared
Cat’s regular classes had started; the poor cat was sleepy in her classes for
next one month. Life was getting worse for her. She could not sleep early nor
could she wake up early. Her eyes came to doze off while her lectures were
happening. She kept yawning and missed words while writing her answers. It
seemed her study time was going to adjust to her long driving lessons for next
one month.)
After returning from
second day of driving, Daredevil declared her judgment Bunny Instructor was too
scared. She also made it a point to make every one realize her younger sister
was a Sacred Cat. The mother of the Juxtaposed Sister expected Daredevil’s
prejudiced thoughts to change in one week. But the first one week of driving
changed the mind of Bunny Instructor. After two days of driving in first gear,
Daredevil wished Bunny Instructor to allow her drive in fifth gear. So Bunny
decided it was no point in letting the devil drive on field anymore, mean while
Knowing to became restless of driving on field. So out of pressure from his
students Bunny Instructor promoted both to drive on road. But Scared Cat was
not mentioned in this part of decision.
Soon Daredevil and
Knowing were driving the car on roads, with bumps and jumps. The car came to
halt on roads, passed goats, cows, dogs etc. The roads were really hard to
drive, which was visible later. Bunny Instructor kept holding the steering
wheel. Daredevil stopped rotating out of anger and irritation. This lack of
coordination resulted in sudden death of car four times. Another time Daredevil
chose to enter the wrong lane and entered the slop. Another moment she kept
accelerating at first gear to increase speed. She became irritated when her
adventure spirit was tamed down. This taming by the polite Bunny always
resulted in her eyes bolting up and cheeks turning red Daredevil kept asking
for more and more gear, more speed was her eternal demand. When asked why she
wanted to be irresponsible driver her reply was simple- The Scared Cat was born
with the burden of being responsible not her.
Knowing on the other hand wanted to learn it fast and grasp all the
tricks of trade. To which Bunny Instructor was strictly against. While Knowing
and Daredevil kept driving on road, Scared Cat chose to finish her nap. She was
yet to control her steering wheel and understand her hand-eye-heart
coordination. The road seemed far away from the sleepy eyes of the Scared Cat.
TBC
P.S – The feeling of
thrill was missing from the sleepy eyes, but next week was going to change her
pattern.
Thanking you to bear with me
