I’m prone to embarrassing accidents, which most of the times are self invited. Though completely innocent, some how I manage to bag people’s attention with my antics. I strongly suspect to be Gods favourite entertainment channel for he enjoys seeing me blush and dread in shame.
Now the story behind the title: Usually, my shining sparkling dresses see sunlight only on Thursdays as I find them apt as weekend wears to office. I take cab to commute and being one of only three girls, usually get the front seat, right behind the driver. So last Thursday, when I took the cab, I was completely unaware what my chini-mini dress would do to me. We must have covered half the way when the cab took a turn and now traversed facing direct sunlight. With exposure to sun rays, reflective sequence work around the neck of my dress shone like 100s of mini LEDs, instantly giving disco light affect within cab interior. Within fraction of seconds, cab was so brightly lit that everyone, including the driver were amused. As soon as realization hit me,I wrapped around the shawl and hid the glitters, yet, the damage was done,I could sense all my colleagues grinning & giggling at my situation... From then until I reached my workstation, my head hung low & I dared not to face any of the chuckles. My friends teased for reminding the pub nights and wondered if I work part time there!

Hmm... as I said, I attract troubles. But its okay, they add a special touch to an otherwise boring day. And as Raj says “bade bade deshon me chote chote bath hote rehte hai” Sahii hai na? :)
