This happened about a month ago near Lonavala. A guy was driving from
Mumbai to Pune and decided not to take the new. expressway as he wants
to
see the scenery. The inevitable happens and when. he reaches the ghats
his car breaks down - he's stranded miles from nowhere.Having no choice
he
starts walking on the side of the road, hoping to get a lift to the
nearest town. It's dark and raining. And pretty soon he's wet and
shivering. The night rolls on and no car goes by, the rain is so heavy
he
can hardly see a few feet ahead of him.
Suddenly he sees a car coming towards him. It slows and then stops
next
to him - without thinking the guy opens the door and jumps in. Seated
in
the back, he leans forward to thank the person who had saved him.
- when he realizes there is nobody behind the wheel!!!
Even though there's no one in the front seat and no sound of any
engine,
the car starts moving slowly. The guy looks at the road ahead and sees
a
curve coming. Scared almost to death he starts to pray, begging the
Lord
for his life.
He hasn't come out of shock, when just before he hits the curve, a
hand
appears through the window and moves the wheel! The
car makes the curve safely and continues on the road to the next bend.
The guy, now paralyzed
in terror, watches how the hand appears every time they are before a
curve and moves the steering wheel just enough to get the car around
each
bend.
Finally, the guy sees lights ahead. Gathering his courage he wrenches
open the door of the silent, slowly moving car, scrambles out and runs
as hard
as he can towards the lights. It's a small town.
He stumbles into a dhaba, and asks for a drink, and breaks down. Then
he
starts talking about the horrible experience he's just been through.
There is dead silence in the dhaba when he stops talking ..... . . .
...
and that's when Santa and Banta Singh walk into
the dhaba. Santa
points and says "Look Banta - that's the weird guy who got into our car
when we were pushing it."
