Partly liberated..

Yes, this is about my driving once again.

I must say I have a really bad habit. I just cant stay in one place doing nothing. It is nearly impossible for me to do. If I am at it, it means that there is something terribly wrong. The place of my work is about 2 miles from where I live and though there is a public transport connectivity, it is not as frequent as I would like and if I happen to miss one bus or rail, I must wait more than 15 minutes. That is like a punishment to me for missing the one I intend to catch. It just gets me nuts and it is not a very good way to start my day at work. If you are anyone like me, you would definitely understand what I truly mean. That is why I never take the risk of using the public transport. I walk the 2 miles up and down when my hubby is not around to drop me. It takes about 10 minutes longer than commuting by rail, but hey, i am not idle which is immensely pleasing. Plus, it is a very brisk way to start your day.

Here comes the winter and my first winter abroad and I dont like it a bit. It gets too dark too soon and it is really cold. Walking with all that heavy winter attires is not all that fun either. It crippled me down here since I am left with only one option - to take the public transport. Yes, i didnt know to drive. Like how necessity is a mother is all invention, desperation seems to the catalyst in over coming all hurdles. Desperate not to let the unkind winter unleash its air of frustration on me, once again, I get my husband hire another driving instructor. This time not just to have the state id but to do some real driving. Some how, after a lot of pit falls, I seem to have come to terms with riding a car.

After a week of commuting to and from office, I feel happy that I don't have to stand idle or shoot through the dark evenings to reach home. Though anyone a mile away can tell, there is a amateur driver out there in a car, I must say I am glad to be partly liberated. Partly because, there is miles to miles to go before I can say I can manage anywhere..
