Articles: Humour | Car scare
- Mr. Giri

Gloomy Friday morning. 7.45AM, overcast skies, sun a stranger, faint drizzles. Perfect morning for extra sleep or hot sambaar idlis.
Both denied, I was on my way to work. Wipers on their job furiously, heater on, my car was on the interstate soon. Light traffic and poor visibility, I stayed as far away from the truck ahead as possible.
Suddenly I heard a faint beep and fainter echo. Quick dashboard scan told me nothing. It sounded so far away, it should be from outside. Is it from the truck? I switched lanes, stepped on the gas and passed it. Beeps, echoes stopped.
Relieved, I slowed down to my normal speed limit plus 5mph.
And then it started again. I rolled down the window for a quick second to the windy howls and wet face so rolled it back up quickly. No clue. Was the truck catching up with me? Not really. Where the hell was the sound coming from? It stopped - and started again. Is something wrong with the car? Or something new got in the car?
Thankful that nothing uneventful happened till I reached my parking lot, I did an interior scan and an outside 360-degree car appraisal. With an effort I stopped myself from going on all fours to look underneath.
Should I take it to the dealer? don't know!
I got to my desk, logged on and was soon lost in the morning email and task reminders. I forgot all about calling home, told them i would..Damn! Cell phone out of the deep jeans pocket in a jiffy.
3 missed calls!
