The Tyre Doctor...

'Oh no.. Its THAT guy again!!!' I turned around to see whom my mom meant... I pretty much realised why THAT guy was WELL THAT guy....

After ages our little Santro had come out for air... so needless to say, before we went to Sheeba's, we decided to check the air in the car tyres... On way we decided to stop at Paud Road to get air filled in the tyres... I stopped at the tyre shop... That's when amma turned and saw HIM...

THAT guy as mom referred to him could be better referred to as the Tyre Doctor... and his diagnosis always is atleast one puncture... So tyre doctor came with the air pump and pressure gauge... I told amma to keep an eye on him... He'd inevitably pull out a rusty nail from one of the tyres...

After filling air in the tyres he comes around and says... You guessed it... 'There's a puncture madam'... I sat there on the wheel laughing... the Tyre Doctor's cohort must have thought me mad when he looked at me... Well put in the spare tyre we said... No that was punctured too...

So to cut a long story short... we reached Sheeba's home an hour late...

What amma and I wondered was how did this guy always find nails in the tyres... Did he have some nails poking out of the road right outside his shop or was it that God gave us sense to bring our car to his shop whenever we had punctures... Either way, next time I'm definitely not going to go to that guy to fill air in our car tyres....
