Must have been home!

My fb status for the day: in this city of strangers, a registration number closer home always strikes a chord.... in this sea of MHs a CH, HP or PB (not necessarily in that order) never goes unnoticed! :)
and the story of it.....It was another regualr monsson day in Pune, the sky overcast, the earth yearning for rain..... I was driving my super-cool bike (though many may beg to differ), through the lovely breeze (that's one of the things I love Pune for). As ususal, I drove down the fly over opposote e-square and just then spotted a maruti - HP 03....., at first it reminded of the first car Pa bought. It was HP 03 0005. :)
Before I realised, I was trying to catch up with the car....and at a traffic signal v met.... i lookd n cudn help but smile..the couple in the car returned a quizzical smile....on an impulse i asked them if they were from Shimla.... they nodded n looked even more confused... as if wondering if they were being stalked or something....This time they spelt out the confusion.... I told them I was from Nahan ( my hometown, i din need to explain it to them, of course they knew)
It was followed by a small rapid fire of the most obvious questions... like wat brings us here n blah...by then the signal turned green, the rendezvous ended!
Though I always have an impulse to talk to people traveeling in vehicles with numbers from CH, HP or .... this was the first time my impulse took over...Guess m home sick, again!
