Knight in striped shorts!

Who says chivalry is dead..Its alive and kicking ...And some of the knights do wander
around in shorts on saturday mornings around BTM area of Bangalore...

I was back from a gruelling trip to God's own country ...The details of that would
form a different post ... Anyways... Saturday morning found me lugging my luggage towards home
after a quick stop at the nearby bakery...cooking in the morning after a trip is never something
I look forward to... The bag was heavy... so heavy that I had to do the stop , sigh, swap
to the other arm routine every two minutes...the traffic was low too... there were no
autos in sight.. and suddenly I notice a fine specimen of our species walking towards me ..
I didnt realise I had given him any 'damsel in distress' signals until he walked upto me
and asked me to hand over the bag.. he said he would carry it for me ...
Logic . reason ... pragmatism.. or any just plain common .. garden sense would have told me
handing a bag over to a stranger could well be a way of saying goodbye to your precious
possessions... but then that part of my grey matter was absolutely dazzled by the knight
or his exbhibition of chivalry ... The conversation from there on only constituted of my asking him ' why do you bother'

followed by a 'just like that' from him.. not the greatest of lines... but that is all I could
come up with at such short notice with me painfully aware of my dishevelled state after the overnight
journey... Garden sense soon returned in full force and I decided to end my exploittion
of his generosity ...I told him ..that I can manage from there .. to which he had
a very understanding smile ... he did offer to help me till my building...
but i wasnt taking any chances... i would rather write a blog about a knight ...
than worry about a potential stalker who knows where I live... :-)

I think I thanked him before I took charge of my load a couple of lanes away from mine...
the dazzle had not waned completely...but then the point is ... there still are a few shorts
.. err.. knights around...You just need to look... today might be your lucky day ..!!!!
