Looking at the Ford Ranger, fear gripped me. No way, I'm going to drive this big thing. I dare not use the word monster. Somehow i always felt cars had ears.
I had no choice. Got into the driver's seat and started the engine. I remember driving big cars before. The Hyundai sonata was my first big car, then the Honda accord, the Mercedes, the Honda city and finally the Toyota Camry. Soon perhaps the Toyota Vios.
It had been many months since i drove the big vehicles. I preferred the Myvi.
But here i was about to drive a very big four wheel drive. It was a necessity. There was no one else to do the job.
As i maneuvered it down the parking lot, I was sweating away. It was freaking scary.
In entering the bigger roads i heaved a sigh of relief. I just made it. It wasn't that difficult.
Depositing the big baby to its master at a tiles shop, I grabbed a cab and went home.
When he asked me how my experience driving it was. I answered casually,
"Oh! it was a piece of cake.
I guess i underestimate myself due to my past breakdowns.
I used to perform very well on stage. That was about 30 years ago. A few months ago, I went on stage just to feel that adrenaline rush.
I couldn't move my lips. All the lyrics disappeared from my mind.
Luckily a co- signer came to my rescue. We sang together. I sang the fourth song on my own.
Recently, I've been singing more and more thanks to Kempton Music band.
Fear is slowly taking a backstage leap.
It is all a piece of cake after all. ;)
