Mall Road Early Morning
Mall Road Early Morning
* When I was learning scooty, my cousin told me "subah 5:30 baje chal, Mall Road khali hota hai, police bhi nahi hoti." I woke up at 5:15 in December. It was freezing, my nose was running inside the helmet. We went to Mall Road. It was empty, just a few dogs and newspaper wale. I was riding slowly, feeling like a pro. Then near Scandal Point, I had to take a U-turn. I forgot to put my leg down properly and the scooty just... fell.
Slowly. Like in slow motion. Me and the scooty both on the ground. No speed, no injury, just pure embarrassment. My cousin didn't even help at first. He was laughing so hard. Then one old uncle who was walking his dog came and helped me lift it. He said "beta aaram se, yahan ice hota hai." My jacket got all dirty on the side. I rode back home at like 20 kmph the whole way.
😭 This is so relatable and genuinely funny. The “slowly, like in slow motion” fall is such a perfect detail because somehow those are the most embarrassing ones. And your cousin laughing instead of helping while the uncle calmly says “beta aaram se” makes the whole scene feel so real. 😂 Also, 5:15 a.m. in December just to find an empty Mall Road is peak Shimla childhood chaos.
