the male power of driving
We take off on the road quite a bit. Sometimes it's a long planned out trip and sometimes we just drive off and go on and on, enjoying the feeling. Now even though I regularly drive to work and other places, when we go out anywhere together, it's always the hubby who's at the steering wheel. Unless he's very tired or had a drink, especially since the bombay cops are strictly on the lookout for drunk drivers.
The latest was a plan to drive to Goa for the carnival. Suddenly hubby asked if we should instead be flying down as it would be easier and comfortable too. Plane tickets in a day? Yes, they are available and reasonable priced too, thanks to the huge choices of budget airlines.
"But I still think it's going to be better if we drive. We 'll have the car to roam around there." I reason.
"Ya, I agree. But I was just thinking if I am ready to set out tomorrow morning and drive 11-12 hours straight..."
"You know, we could take my car if you want. I am used to it and I could drive halfway too."
"That's not possible. I am never comfortable when you drive."
"What do you mean? I have been driving much longer than you. And on an average I drive much more than you, in the thickest of bombay traffic!"
"I know you do. No doubts about it, I think you are a good driver."
"Then what's it? Why dont you trust me?"
"I don't know. But I never sit still when you drive. I am too nervous. I am always waiting for my destination."
"Nobody can help you then!!"
I think some men are just meant to be drivers and drive their woman around!

lucky me, she doesn't drive! ;)
haha am familiar with that. many guys seem to kinda sit on the edge when a woman is driving. even if they don't show it fully but underneath they are uncomfy. some stereoytping going on? :-)
Funny one, Anumita!! Liked it as ever:-)
Lucky you. And u r still complaining...?!
Well - we both have gone beyond that level. Now my wife does "back seat" driving to me. This is the phase after you stopped jittering and sit comfortably when your wife drives.
I'm always scared when wifey drives, and that fear is not imaginary....proof is on my blog :-)
