Time:4:45 am.
The boorish black vehicle is all ready to launch. This three wheeler, christened "auto rickshaw" [pun intended]  is only "auto"when it comes to uninvited halts at regular intervals[ everything else is manual].
For those who dont know what an "auto" rickshaw is...here are some aids which will help you identify one::
1>Its anatomy is similar to that of a mouse, thanks to the designers of the wonderful creation
2>It has a lever on one side of the driver/rider's side which is tediously pulled each time to get the "auto"mobile to start[ i told u that everything is manual]
3>It would have crude interiors usually with the some great quotes [like "maximum three passengers only"] scribbled on it....................................now let me get back to business
The half sleeping driver, rider or pilot[i am really unsure what to call him, for a driver drives 4 wheelers and a rider rides 2 wheelers.,.,so what the hell do u call the guy "who drives/rides/ god knows what " 3 wheelers??] and a lean, pale and extremely drowsy figure are the only occupants of the embryonic interior of the "auto" rickshaw.Though i have no idea on how to baptize the former[as i already mentioned above],lets call the lanky dude "Bridge"...now about Bridge
>>He is always drowsy,although added drowsiness can be witnessed during such unholy hours like the current one.
>>He has this crush over a girl who remarked that he was more handsome than somebody else[obviously, she has wasn't wearing her glasses]
>>He is so philosophical at times that he might be the only one awake in the vicinity.
>>He happens to be the hero's best friend [the hero...Guess who.. :P ]
So lets leave Bridge alone for now as he has already fallen asleep...
So, the auto rickshaw rolls on, well literally, through empty streets with no glimpse of light other than the occasional streets lights...


Time 4:50 am
Not even a single nocturnal being is in sight leave alone the diurnal ones..Suddenly out of the blue[or rather black] a human hand pop out with the intention of signalling the sluggish vehicle to stop.The auto rickshaw does stop[manually, indeed] thanks to the driver/ruder/whatever who just woke up from his dream.Soon the owner of the hand...a cute,charming fella...boards the vehicle only to find his fellow classmate[our Mr.Bridge] fast asleep at one end of the microscopic couch for passengers.Soon he..[[lets call this adorable young man ''Seed'']]...engages himself in stirring up Bridge.Needless to say, all his efforts are in vain until he cries out loud...."Bridge...did you do the homework??". Thankfully Bridge recognizes the NEW word.Thinking of increasing his vocabulary,he opens his oculus and lends one ear to Seed.Seed explains to him all the details about the homework and a wonder struck Bridge just chants"interesting...very interesting" in reply...and goes back to sleep.Now, Seed is again in the absence of company as always.....coz
>>>He is the only one who regularly does his homework and scores 100% for every exam
>>>He is extraordinarily good in Math..thanks to some rare psychic problem usually non existent in similar prototypes
>>>He is the only one who raises his hand when some barbaric question like " what is cos alpha +sin beta - tan delta + cot blah blah...'' is asked.
>>>He is never concerned about any activity other than mugging up everything once he reaches the destination....
>>>Yet...he is a good kid who loves his friends and help them out with anything concerning studies
>>>He is the one sure fire faourite from the class to make such places which provide abounding knowledge usually having double I's or T's or other alphabets in their ubiquitous names
...
Time 4:55 am.
The auto rickshaw is still dynamic though the world around it is in rest.Seed is the only one who is awake in a radius of 10 kilometers other than the driver/rider/whatever who is drifting through a condition between sleeping and riding called "rydsleeping"[This term is copyrighted and copying of the term is strictly prohibited]...But proving all the calculations wrong[about the radius n other stuff]...a lone figure becomes visible in the avenue..His figure is characterized by porcupine like hair,rodent-like incisors and bony limbs...His limbs are too thin that you can almost pass by without seein em makin u feel that he is an eerie ghost wrapped in school uniform with no hands...He[[,letz call this guy Moz]]pops into the auto and with immediate effect....coz our Mr.Bridge knows only too well what would happen to him once he continues snoring coz....
>>>Moz is the most nettlesome guy in the whole world
>>>His nature is completely different from his frame and is at a ratio of frame raise to say 1111111111110000000000000000000000000000000square or something like that
>>>his favourite job is braggin & bluffin about bizzare and berserk stuff so as  to drive the life out of 47 nut cases[make that 46..i would like tro remain an exception] called classmates who honestly never deserve that much....Lets leave Moz to carry on with his good work for now but please do keep an eye out...coz Seed and Bridge are already thinkin about jumpin out of the lethargic automobile driven by a comatose driver/rider/whatever...


Time:5 00am
The vehicle [have you fallen asleep already...4got the vehicle well... scroll up...remember...??? the vehicle is an auto rickshaw] vrooms and shrooms and looms and move on at a nerve breaking speed of well...10 miles per YEAR...[[the nerve breaking phenomenon is out of frustration and desperation...plz forgive me for this exaggeration...]].Now it is almost time for our hero[ obviously myself ]to step in and save these poor souls from Mr.Moz the braggart...So let me make the entrance a little dramatic...The "auto" rickhaw's inert tapers called headlamps go dim and dim...[[maybe due to the enigmatic prescence of our hero in the vicinity or maybe due to the unconcsious glissade of the rydsleepin driver/rider/whatever's hand  onto the "auto"rickshaw's manual control systems]]...
A dormant street light suddenly pops to life making a cave visible in the by road...but soon our guys make out that it is no cave but the architecture marvel called SUB WAY....which is the cause of all the traffic jams in the city...Then there weary eyes spot one more thing...a glowing halo and the chassis of a human..."AN ANGEL" cries Bridge [BUT...honestly he was just waking up from his nightmare and the formerly explained figure of the "HERO" had nothing to do with it...]...Seed is ever so happy to find his mate,our hero,step into the limelight...A back ground music begins abruptly[[Bridge's snoring]] as the hero steps in to the halted auto rickshaw...The driver/rider/whatever curses the lever he has to pull to launch the machine again...
The hero's entrance has made a variety of changes inside the auto rickshaw...The frst noticeable one is that Bridge is no longer sleeping coz he find like company at last...and the MOZ drifts off to sleep so as to replace Bridge...and the auto rickshaw becomes a domicile...and is filled with positive energy...
Without wasting a second the hero opens his mouth and a romantic melody start to emit out of it. Bridge tries to find out his sweetheart but he can only see unopened stalls and desserted roads...so he concludes that they are his lovers...
Seed ,a good singer, tries to make out the genre of the song but all he can do is conclude that it a hiphop/metal/pop/rap/desi collaboration...Soon, Bridge also joins our hero...coz he assumes that doing something is better than nothing...
The auto rickshaw charges toward it destination at a speed no less than 10 miles per HOUR [the driver/rider/whatever had woken up due to the unpleasant chords of noise arising from his passengers area and had decided that he would better get these guys off his haven as quick as possible and this has resulted in the sudden burst of speed....still dont get it...well the speed is 10 miles per hour now...not per year]...
Time: 5 15
The auto rickshaw does the impossible at last by making the destination. The four guys...consisting of two bards... a poor soul who provided audience and a lucky dude who had  escaped the Non stop chart busters.....get themselves out of Hades ferried by Charon...They pay the inevitable coin to Charon...[i meant paying the fare to the auto rickshaw driver/rider/whatever]
Now to hell.....well to tuitions[to be more exact]
The destination is easily identifiable....for hell is the only place with bulbs on at this particular moment.....To Hell, then..............
The voyage winds up...........
Bloody HELL!!!
