Short trips

I would very often go on short trips, like pick my friends up from there homes and then go have a 'chai.' There were a number of places, like old Airport in Bangalore, which was in HAL, or goto Mecca, in Johnson Market. Our very common place for having 'chai' would be 'Shivajinagar.' Coz this is the only place that is, till date, opened 24 hours and is quite good for all eateries. This place was once filled with Dons. But now that's all long gone. You would find a couple still left. But, we go there to have our 'chai,' and not to mess around with anyone.
After the law being enforced that all the eateries are to be shut down by 11:00 PM, all the party crowd, would goto this place as it is opened 24 hours, once they are done with their parties. Not to mention, post 11:00 PM, we have to go via the back door for entry/exit to all the eateries there.
Later, I found out that this place gradually became the starting point of our long journeys (Suffara).

The Culprit

I have this craze for going on trips. But this all started when the 'Culprit" arrived home. That was my Maruti 800. Before I purchased this car, I had never ever kept my hands on steering. I had to call my friend to pick the car up from the showroom and have him drop it in my house. I then called my colleague and informed me to come to my house so that he can drive my car to office. While returning back home, another colleague of ours joined us, and both of them helped me learn how to drive this car. It was shocking that I drove my car the very next night to my friend's house where he was shocked, as to how can I learn how to drive a car in just 1 night. I guess, this is what is called 'Craze' to learn/do something.
