An achievement…

One of the highlights of 2014 for me will be that I have bought my own car & started driving it all by myself now. Day before yesterday was my first time alone and I drove from home to office to back home……..without hitting anybody/anything. 🙂

I know, this might seem a minor thing to many, but for me it is a huge deal! Over the last few years, I had been making plans to buy a car but somehow the decision of whether I should learn driving first and buy the car next or vice-versa was proving to be a difficult one. And time flew by without me doing any of the two. 😛

Anyways, I am yet to master the skills of a good driver (especially parking in smaller/crowded areas) but I am glad that Ihave started the process. By the way, this is a pictorial description of what I went through on my 1^st day driving alone –

1. In the morning, I talked to myself in the mirror that everything would be alright…..

 2. As I sat on the  seat and started the ignition, I was like –

Me – “yes, I can do this….what would possibly go wrong?”

3. Once the car started moving, I was like –

 4. When I finally reached office and parked the vehicle & came out with great relief, I was like –  5. And then when I finally parked the car at the parking lot of my apartment, I went up to my room and I was like –

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! :p 🙂

Do anyone remember their 1st driving lesson or their 1st day on the wheels alone? Do share your experiences. 🙂
