My Worthless Efforts(1)- The current scenario



"Oh no! It's already 10:00 pm. I have to hurry.
Mrs. Samantha could you please arrange me a cab within 15 minutes",
I said to my secretary.
"But Mr. Aviral Nigam, You have a client meeting scheduled at 10:45 pm.” said Samantha,
something that I really didn’t want to hear at that time.
“In that case… just inform the clients that I am out of town for some urgent work, but first please
call the cab … go...”
“10…9…8…7… Oh god! These pathetic slow lifts….We are in 2028 and still deprived of
teleporting wish we could just enter the desired destination and vroom...travel the place we want
to be. No wastage of petrol, no pollution and no hole in the ozone” my mind yelling out to me.
“The New Bakery House, downtown, with the best pace you can.”, holding my breath I said to
the cab driver. Where I was…hmm…yes, teleporting. But with the use of it, these poor drivers
will eventually lose their jobs. But why should I have sympathy with them. “Is your car still
struggling to overcome friction? Dude increase the throttle.”
“Sir, but there is speed limits in the city, I can’t increase beyond this”, the driver exclaimed
hopelessly.
“Ok then, just do whatever is in your reach”, I finished the worthless conversation.
 “One pineapple… no… wait, that chocolate cake with a barbie face on it and a pack of birthday
candles. These candies, yes the red one”, I indicated the shop owner.
“Anything else sir”, the shop owner in a confused manner.
“Yes some of these green jellies also”
The cashier, “Sir its 500$”
“Take this and do it quickly”, I said giving off my card to him.
“36 park avenue”, juggling with the packets I said to the cab driver.
“20 minutes left, will reach on time”, my mind said to contend myself. What a surprise it will be
for Hina! She must be thinking that I’ll be busy in the meeting. But it’s 16 june how can I forget
it,the most eventful day of my life….
