Driving my passion

Bangalore. It is around 7:30 PM in the evening, and after driving for almost 1.5 hours from my office,  I am on a slightly steep T-junction road in BTM. Since this junction neither has a traffic control signal nor a cop, it is prone to traffic jams due to haphazard movement of vehicles. Like on most other days, even today, I am stuck in a jam here while I am waiting to take a right turn and head in the direction of the my kiddo's day care. And just when I am thinking on how to avoid feeling annoyed at the delay, my mobile rings - I get a call from a friend. I am happy to get diverted from the traffic chaos, and begin talking to her.  At the same time, I am effortlessly controlling my car from sliding backwards on the slope. That's when it suddenly dawns upon me that last year, around the same time, I was such a fearful driver. Leave alone driving in the night, and simultaneously speaking on mobile, I would be scared to take the car out even in the broad daylight. Immediatel
