Lady Driver? Horn, OK, Please

IF YOU THINK GIRLS CAN'T DRIVE AND BELIEVE IN THIS UNIVERSAL FACT TOO.
KNOW WHY.

My dad scanned me right across the room, given the fact we were the only occupants in the entire 12*15 area when I told him I wish to learn driving. He actually dropped his jaw just enough for me to know how skeptical he was about the idea, but as the faith as it I was born to tame a vehicle.

While enrolling me at the driving school when the instructor made my dad choose from wide variety of cars from S(Santro), M (Indica and Indigo), L (Honda Accent) to XL(TATA Sumo), almost at the same time we stared the extreme, only difference was they were not just extreme but also OPPOSITES, while I fancied piling on a TATA, he signed me for a Santro. An immediate clash of underestimation and overestimation.

Finally after a 20 minutes session for 20 days, I earned a licence! I remember just two incidents about my RTO test. First, a cop who hopped and sat next to me and said "Darrneka Nahi, mast chalaneka", second, me kick starting the vehicle on third gear, a reason enough for my instructor to pass out but instead he smiled meekly at the cop.

That was the day when I drove independently and today after three years I hit the road again....of course with my instructor who's life hangs on the hand break which he constantly holds on like a dying person clings to his final breath!

So on my first day I came to live the eternal truth behind why girls can't drive, as my instructor kept chanting about how important it is for me to see to my left and observe people's feet to judge the right distance, the calamity struck! There they were pink, red, purple, heels, ballerinas, flats and sunshine yellows!!! My attentions was caught more but the foot wears than the foot!

When he asked to see if anyone was at the crossing, my attention mindlessly overlooked the divider and fell on the gang of girls posing some cool hair dos and styles! And then my mind raced to every other bag, dress, top, hair - short/long, couples romancing and extra ordinarily fat girl flaunting a rainbow top! GOD WE ARE GIRLS AND SUCH THINGS CATCH OUR ATTENTION!!

And with this I submit myself to the universal fact, we can drive but seldom focus!
