Nice day for a ride

Well today morning was our last french tuition, got up at 8:30, left home at around 9;50 and went to anto's place since his dad was gonna drop us there. the plan was that i and jithin would go to anto's place and on the way to tuition we would pick up achu( sheriff).....but anto's dad had to go somewhere, so we had to take a taxi( its a 20 min drive) i was all for it.....it was a nice day...just the 4 of us...what could go wrong...well we walk to the main road and wait for a taxi, we had to wait for less than a minute before one came. now anto tries to tell the guy that we have to first go to azzizya panda( to pick up achu) then go to the juffali building(tution's near there) but this guy turns out to be a muff...he dosent even know where azzizya panda is(either that or he dosent understand a word we'r sayin) so we tell the muff to get lost. the next one that stops gets the panda part but has no idea about the rest, so we shoo him off too. now i do the third guy....the guy was old and he was a saudi....i tell him the plan anyway, he says he gets it(which basically involved nodding his head....i took that for a yes....bad idea) mean while another taxi stopes behind...he looked like a bengali, me and jithin were votin for the bengali but anto insisted on the saudi( dont ask me...) well we ended up with the saudi. We reached achu's place okay....now we go for the juffali bldg. out of all of us achu was the only one with a remote idea on where this place is...we tell the saudi that its in madina road, to which he noddes again.
Now on the way the guy puts the damn saudi radio...and anto was tellin me to put his eminem cassaete....i didnt think it was a very good idea( the guy looked like he was enjoyin the radio...then again he's a saudi) after arnd 5 minutes achu tells me that he dosent think we'r goin the right way...we decide to wait and see where he takes us. after another 10 min achu tells me that he's pretty sure we'r goin the opposite direction...plan A: stop and get another taxi. plan B: wait. plan C:try explainin again. we go for plan C then plan B....in the end we were on a road to which i couldnt see an end....we tell him to turn around and i ask him( as well as i could) if he knew where mausadia plaza was, the guy looks at me and says"mausadia...al-baik" hallelujah...that did it...after around 15 min we see the juffali bldg. and the guy points to it and says smthin( no idea what he said...)then we finally reach the place after a 45 min drive...now raji aunty( she's teachin us) comes out and tells us that tution was at 2:00 not 10:30( again anto's fault) anyway we go in and melissa and jisma were there too. now anto just realised that he left his mobile in the taxi( that too after arnd 20 min's)...so we call and the saudi picks up and he actually comes back all the way to give it back.....i reach home at around 2:30....nice day huh?

if u ask me ... the taxi driver didnt try to molest any of you... that would have been sinister... or it could've been ala BONE COLLECTOR... or the guy from the By The Way..RHCP video .. that would have been cool..

anyway ...for weird taxi cab rides ask avi next time... he'll tell u how to get from najju's place to susantz place... wind up near the cycle... and then send me chachen and thankachen to the jail looking for him...
