on giving directions

this is an incident that has really happened long long ago, when i used to work for airforce audit.. and even today whenever i think of it im not able to stop a grin spreading across my face.

i was on a Temp duty to Thane AF Station,, where i happened to sprain my wrist, and had to see the doctor available in the premises. There i met a young sardar guy who had a whole arm fractured and was waiting for the doc too..same issue , both had, so we struck a conversation with other..

saw him almost a week later at Thane Station, when i was with my male colleagues, and after the 'hey didnt we meet the other day at the doctor's' smile, he asked me the route to a AF unit at santacruz.

i earnestly began,.... u first take a ticket at thane station, u can get down at Kurla also, but i dont know that route, so get down at dadar, change from central to western, then take a train to santacruz, get down to the East, then there are three BEST buses at the Bus depot, Nos.211, 212 and 213, all three will go, but if u take 211, then get down at kalina bus stop or the air india bus stop, but if u take 212 for god sake get down at Kalina stop, cause it doesn't stop at air India stop, and if u take 213 then get down at the air India stop but not Kalina stop.

after he left with an utterly confused look, my male colleagues almost laughed till they died ......is that how u give directions? now he will never reach santacruz, anyways serves him right for asking a woman, when all of us men were also around.. they grinned.
