Gyaan varsha !!!!

It's around 2 o'clock in night, I am sitting at the rear seat of the cab returning back home from office. The cab driver as always is in a hurry. I sometimes wonder why all the cab drivers are in hurry, or is it the way they drive? Wonder what they do in bed when with their wives.
With each turn the cab takes, my body sways from one end of the car to the other and I silently scream a BC in my heart. Finally when he jumped the car over a speed breaker, the silent scream was no longer silent, but the driver didn't mind.
After a while when we are about to reach my home and he enters the narrower roads, a dog starts running behind the car and barking at full capacity of his lungs (I am sure this is a familiar site for most indians living in metro cities). The driver looks at me in the rear view mirror and asks "sir ji, aapko pata hai ye kuttey aise kyon bhoonktey aur bhaagtey hain gaadiyo ke peechey"??.
I had no idea and I expected the cab driver a well-travelled guy, so I politely said "nahi.... kyon"??
And he continues...." sir ji ... iski naa girlfriend ko koi car wala maar ke chala gaya hoga, ab ye bechara har car ko wohi car samajh ke uske peechey ghussey se bhaagta hai" !!!
I once more silently scream a BC one again.....only this time a long one.
