Left home for a drive
Wanted to go to a store
Buy some desi spice
Enjoying the ride
My auto stopped suddenly
Accident ahead
(Courtesy: Yahoo)
Cannot turn around
Waited, waited, and waited
Finally gave up
Cars started moving
Took the next return exit
Back home at long last
No idli batter
No coconut for chutney
Restaurant tonight
Other half loves this
No cooking no production
Restaurants we love
Of course, the other half loves

Sometimes, due to such unexpected events nothing goes according to the plan. Even though it might be frustrating, we realize later that it might be to our benefit after all! I have experienced it many times.
