Haldiran’s rendezvous…………………
It was family outing with Amma Jee to Haldiram‟s on Faridabad-
Delhi highway.
Haldiram‟s is major sweets and snacks manufacturer with
family restaurants across country.
Satiating taste buds and enjoying the evening, we were
returning back. As restaurant was on other end of highway, we
took wrong-side detour to Faridabad road that was just across.
Following our wrong footsteps another car followed us.
Crossing animal forced me to apply sudden break.
Thud……car behind us bumped into ours with collateral
damage. Fight was inevitable; but avoided as we both were on
wrong side.
We learnt that shortcuts will seldom lead to happy
endings……….
