shelling out the courtesy

well..This happened on one of those biking days when MR had been using CBZ of his house mate..

One fine morning ..MR thinks , why not go to the office in bike .. goes out takes the bike out of the stands and tries to start.

hmm.. it seems FT hadn't been in the habit of giving the bike enough petrol.. ..MR shakes the petrol tank..there is some petrol any way ..may be not a to and fro journey. MR doesn't want to be stranded on the way

MR avoids one or two petrol bunks on the way ..they seems to be selling adulterated petrol ..

Near the office MR finds one a shiny new petrol bunk .. rides straight it ..

well ..what MR finds is a totally new environment ..

Normally in a mallu petrol bunk , we go a say "oru anjooru" (for 500rs) , you get the petrol,pay and leave ..

This is different , the operator is a middle aged lady, who welcomes MR first in english (with a bit of hesitation)
MR: petrol beku , 200rs
Lady: Welcome sir. Power try maadi sir,it has additives more performance ..blah blah
MR: No, Normal unleaded is OK
Lady: Try maadi saarrrrrrr..

Mr: Visibly annoyed ."enthoru maaranam aanu ithu (what the heck is this) ... MAADI

MR opens the petrol tank and expects the usual thing .. NO there is MORE ..

lady: get off the bike sir

MR, gets off the bike ..ini athu koodi sammatichilla ennu venda ..

she fills the petrol ,MR pays and MR drives off ..


Hey ..is the CBZ a bit more powerfull now???????? MR wonders..
