It happened on a busy sunday evening [:) ... Busy as in people here and there and everywhere choking the streets of Mumbai running from pillar to post in search of all kinds of sales / discounts and metrosexual, retrosexual men and the toxic bachelors cramming the restricted-entry public space ( Barrista, CCD, etc ) along with crackberry or laptop lifestreamers in the hope of a miracle! ( custom-made)] .
While walking in Mumbai, I have developed a rather annoying(to myself) habit of looking down and walking in perpetual fear of encountering some miscellaneous crap on the street :/ ...
On this particular monsoon soaked day, I got out of the H & N store and was moving towards Flora Fountain when I had scanned the road ahead as safe to step on ....and splash !!!
How on earth did that happen? How did I managed to step into a puddle???
The puddle had camouflaged itself so well that I couldn't distinguish it from the concrete !
It wasn't exactly a puddle .... a section of the road had just caved in ...maybe due to one of the inexplicable urban caving expeditions of the Mumbai Metropolitan Road Diggers Association(MMRDA)....:P
Anyway I disappeared from the area without pondering over the size and shape of the puddle and the damage to my shoes in the hope of losing all the strangers who could have witnessed the splash...
