Recipe for Disaster

Today we are going to completely change tracks and learn to "cook" a  recipe. A recipe of a completely different kind. Here it goes :-

Ingredients -
  • One auto-rickshaw desired, but if not available then recipe can be prepared with some other motorized vehicle, 
  • One extremely gutsy driver,
  • One hapless passenger, preferably you, and
  • One city which does not even have a semblance of traffic rules.
Directions -
  • The passenger (you) need to travel from one point in the city to some other point. 
  • The passenger decides to hire an auto-rickshaw (or any other motorized vehicle, as mentioned in the Ingredients section) for his/her commute.
  • Bring the rickshaw close to the passenger.
  • Mix the passenger and the rickshaw driver. The passenger thinks that he has got a good deal after a lot haggling regarding the auto fare. 
  • Put the passenger inside the rickshaw.
  • Let the rickshaw with the passenger inside somehow manage through the mind numbing traffic of Hyderabad for a duration of 10 minutes.
  • The driver seems to have a strange penchant for green lights and the rickshaw is seamlessly passing through, leaving the other vehicles behind.
  • Bake the passenger in the oven.
  • The passenger starts to think that he is traveling way too fast than desired, but he/she keeps mum. Let this continue for about a couple of minutes.
  • The passenger now realizes that something is wrong. The auto driver is stopping at nothing. He seems to be all set to mow down people crossing the road. A couple of times people somehow manages to save themselves.
  • The passenger has started to roast and he/she shouts at the driver, who makes a grunt of a sound and carries on.
  • The passenger contemplates to leave the auto and hire a different one, but gives this thought a miss and carries on with skepticism. Let this go on for a minute.
  • Take the passenger out of the oven and put it on the grill.
  • Bang! The auto has crashed into a truck which was standing at a red light. The passenger's "chariot" like the arrow of Arjun stops at nothing and takes on the might of a truck standing right in front of it.
  • Let the passenger be numb for about 10 seconds so as to understand what the hell is going on.
  • The passenger yells and shouts at the rickshaw driver ridiculing him by asking - "Are you sleeping?", to which the driver nonchalantly replies in the affirmative.
  • Make the passenger again be numb for about 10 seconds trying to figure it out for certain whether it is reality or a dream.
  • Now, the special ingredient of our recipe replies - "Sir, I haven't slept for about three days now. My wife hits me at home and she does not let me sleep these days. that is the reason why I slept off while I was driving. But still I know what I am doing"
  • What the ****. First, he was sleeping all the while that he was driving. The passenger is amazed that he/she is still alive with just a pain in the right hand and no injuries. Secondly, the driver is sleeping and still he claims that he is control. 
  • Now, this is the clincher and is the icing on the cake of our delicacy. The driver asks the passenger to give him Rs. 10/- on top of his meter fare so that he can go and have some tea. Now, how do you reply to that - @#R@##!*&#!%$
  •  The dish is ready.
Simply amazing. !ncredible india.
