Bhaiyya to the rescue..

Last Sunday i happened to be at Kandivali station on my to Thakur polythenic college,thakur complex(which is different from thakur village). I reached station by 1 pm half an hour before the reporting time.
However i soon found out that reaching thakur college wasn't going to be so easy. All the autorickshaws(f^*$@ing ppl) simply refused to go to thakur college. I despearetly tried to convince them but to no avail.
Soon it became 1.20 and the place outside the station got swarmed by students all desparetly trying to get an auto. Finally i decided to walk all the way to highway hoping to catch an auto. But alas my pleadings fell on deaf ears.
It was 1.30 and i still hadnt found the auto. That plus no one knew for sure whether thakur complex and thakur village were the same place or different!!
I thought God was testing me. I thought may be i wasnt meant to appear for CET.
Fortunately i dont know how but out of nowhere came this knight in shining armour or should i say a bhaiyya in khaki. I asked him"Bhaiyya thakur complex chaloge?? Exam ke liye ho raha hoon" and with the gentle flick of his neck he said"Chalo baytoh". Thank God. A bhaiyya helping a marathi manoos.
At that moment i didnt think it this way.Neither did he. He could have easily said NO. But he didn't. In retrospect all that talk by Raj Thackarey seems utter nonsense.
I can tell you one thing for sure. Mumbai's social fabric will always remain intact. Nothing or nobody can undermine the important contributions that migrants have made to this city.
God bless the bhaiyya!!

P.S: CET was fine.
