Chapter 2

She made her way to the kitchen and looked for the coffee pot"hmmm i lost it again , i swear it was here somewhere" she laughed at her carelessness, "here u are my sweety my coffee pot", she washes it and poured milk into it and put some coffee in her favorite pink mug which had "Princess" embossed on it. She fixed herself a sandwich which she ate like a hungry pig , taking huge bites of the sandwich.
"Aaahh man this coffee feels so good" she could feel the caffeine rushing through her veins and releasing the drowsiness from her head. She moved into her bedroom and switched on her radio "raat kali ek kwaab main ayi..." the radio blared with kishore kumar's voice, she loved this song and she danced a little on it. She opened her drawer and took out her handbag "now where the fuck is my cellphone",she looked for it for a while and then she found it under the sheets next to her bed.
She picked up her phone and checked for calls she missed while she was dosing off."No calls ,guess no one misses me" she snickered and put it in her bag."Now where are my keys, aj fir late hu main, kya yaar i need to buy a key chain , this way that I am gonna loose the bloody key for sure...",She looked for it in her cupboard and found it in her change box."when did i throw it there?" she wondered to herself., "maybe i have a ghost here".
She picked up her things and walked to her door and tried to find the lock which she had misplaced again ,"I need to cut down on these pills" she said to herself and quickly locked the door and hurried down the stairs literally jumping them down , she was late and her boss would kill her , it was the third time this week and she knew he would get mad, she imagined his huge round face going mad with anger.
She needed that job , she needed it for many reasons and thats why she never said anything to him, he was a nice person but he was cranky and loud.
"Aaj fir motu gaali degaaI am late as usual"
She went to the garage and kicked started her old scooty which she had christened "Lolita" , especially after watching Sholay though she wanted to name it "Dhanno" but she loved Lolita it was the name of her old cat which was killed by a speeding truck.
"Hoja start madame please" she begged her old scooty which never started on time , she thanked god each day that she wasn't robbing a bank with it because if that were the case she would have to ask the cops to start this old scooty.
So after a hell of lot of begging , kicking and swearing old Lolita started ,her little engine purred and she quickly jumped on it and changed gears and sped for her destination.

Loved the 'Dhanno' and 'Lolita' part! (may her cat's soul rest in peace..) btw, that was awesomely written, the part about the speeding truck. You gave the cat, just the right amount of importance in the story..

when's part 3 comin along?
