Today, unknowingly, by mistake, accidentally, theriyama, unintentionally, in all innocence;
I jumped a traffic signal. Gulp.
Barely escaped the talons of law as a traffic policeman started towards me. GULP.
Mouthed a heartfelt sorry to him, from within a very protective helmet, even as his fierce brows came together. GULLLPPP.
Raced away, checking my rear view mirror for MILES, for blazing blue lights, white shirts, khakhi pants and AK 47s.
Learnt, at great risk (brrr..), that intuition doesn’t work at traffic signals.
Phew.
