A tiring day after which all I could think of was dinner and sleep! A call from Partho. "Vaishu, are you up for a ride to the Shaker lake? Call the other chunnu munnus and find out who all want to come~!".
If there is one thing I cannot turn down, it is a ride to a water body. We start for the Shaker lake which is on the verge of freezing over, but it was a warm day, so why bother with the winter coats. Our PLAN was to hang out near the lake, take in the beauty and get back home in a half hour span. First trip to the lake, Partho's ghost stories to scare little kids. The second trip to pick up another chunnu munnu and drive back to the lake. Here comes the highlight of the day. Partho the wise announces for everyone to lock their car doors, so those who hadn't made sure they had. A little voice from the other side of the car.."Why is the music in the car still on,..wait, why is the car still on!?" Our dear absent minded Partho had left the car on ignition with the keys locked inside!
So much for the half hour trip with no winter coats.
Step one- Don't panic Kids! (saying that more to himself than us)
Step two- Scurry around the car to see if there is anyway inside (which was impossible thanks to his final order to check the doors!)
Step three- Call the insurance company "oops battery low on phone!" ETA: 1 hour! We're toast!(stands for-we are frost!~)
Have you ever noticed how the temperature drops suddenly when you don't have a coat with you. Well, that's what happened to us! The best way to keep yourself warm is by hopping around, and in this situation crashing on the filthy car bonnet with its collection of dust(the engine was running and warm!)
It is time to call our rescue mission! Seetharam and Sohani! Epic failure~ No response from either! These are times when mankind cannot be blamed for trying to psyche the car doors to open (and guess what, it doesn't work!)

If you have ever watched the movie "Cast Away", you'd understand exactly how that fateful one hour felt! Was there no one in the vicinity, let alone someone who could bring us a cup of coffee each!?

Hysteria sets in. Should we order some pizza and see whether the insurance or pizza reaches us first? Oh! there goes a cop car! Let's ask them to get us some coffee! Mind control in parallel- Dooooors ..Opennnnn!!! And there we see the distant headlights, and the phone chimes..Saved at last!.There comes our knight in shining armor! (the insurance company truck!)
We dumped ourselves into the warm car and drove to the nearest coffee place, IHOP for our breakfast at 3.30am, where the waitress had a good laugh at either our adventure or our pink noses and ears!(Am still not sure which!)
There ends another unexpected adventure in the Civic.
