A hard night's night.

Just recently, our resident superhero the shockmeister had a n adventure of epic proportions. Ably supported by Krsh, he foiled the nefarious intentions of the Hyderabadi autowallahs. The shockmeister, Krsh and anothe friend the YashMan had gone to Reshmi's for dinner. The Yashman had recently gone to Macau and he brought a gift for the shockmeister. Imagine the shockmeister's surprise when the gift turned out to be an official Man United wallet. He was greatly pleased with YashMan's gesture nonetheless. As the shockmeister is a blueblood (for the unfortunate ones who don't know that's a die hard Chelsea fan) it was akin to Osama getting George's poster or autobiography as a gift. Anyway, after dinner, Krsh and our superhero started to walk back with the intention of getting an auto. Unfortunately, the rain god had other plans and opened his taps full throttle. So, our superhero got drenched.
Seeing the opportunity, the villainous autowallahs started to ask for exhorbitant amounts to go to Tarnaka. But, our superhero refused to kowtow to their demands. Despite carrying a load of abt 10 Kgs (he was carrying a huge bundle of books for a friend) and being drenched to the marrow, he staunchly walked on and on and on. He also took time off to help a modern day damsel in distress who was stuck with her scooty.
Anyway, he walked and walked and walked. Near Keys HIgh School, he got tired and asked an autowallah. He was prepared to give a few rupees extra. The damn autowallah demanded Rs. 120!!!! In return, he got a look of utter disdain from the shockmeister.
With pained feet, wet clothes, heedless of mother nature's call and with steely resolve, our hero kept walking and walking and walking............




He was late to office on the next day.
