A Morning Hiccup 🛗

A funny incident in my morning routine is the reason behind writing this post .

Every day feels like a routine for me. Sun rises , Sun sets, the wind blows, it rains - a typical day, like any ,other day,

You must be wondering 🤔, if everything is the same then what’s there to write about in a newsletter??

Isn’t it ??

Well!!!!! Not every story has to be grand. Even a small hiccup can be woven into a story.

So, Lemme tell you about my morning hiccup today.

As part of my morning routine I go to market everyday. We have two lifts in our apartment building.

One is the senior citizen type- old, slow.

The other lift is Genz type - fresh, well lit , bright and everyone uses it.

I always have a soft corner for this old lift . Since no one really uses it , I choose it, call it my kind act of loyalty 😊

Today, as usual, I stepped into the old lift . The moment I entered there was a strange sound ……and the lift stopped.

I pressed the floor buttons again, but, NO!!!!! The lift wasn’t ready to budge from where it was.

And then suddenly the door opened.

I was glad that I could step out. But, Alas!!! The lift was stuck in between 9th and 8th floor. The funniest part??? The door kept opening and closing in a rhythm. All I could see was only walls and wires.

And there I was, alone in the lift 🛗.

I pressed the alarm. The Security guard came running . He figured out I was caught in the midway . And he could catch a glimpse of me through the gap when the door opened .

Soon people from the floor gathered. Even the maids came. I had suddenly become a breaking news😂.

Then the security reassured me , “ Don’t worry madam, I will switch the lift off and on again. Then the lift will start working”.

As he went down, I could hear voices talking about me being stuck .

For me, honestly , I wasn’t panicking at all.

Instead ,this popular Bollywood Hindi number from Salman Khan’s movie “OONCHI HAI BUILDING. LIFT MERI BANDH HAI. KAISE MEI AWOON? DARWAZA BANDH HAI…..” started playing in my mind.

(Translated in English) - The building is tall, the lift isn’t working. How do I come up? The door is locked.”

I couldn’t control my laughter 😂😂😂😂😂.😂.

As I was enjoying my own musical moments, suddenly the lights went off. It became pitch dark.

From outside I heard a mechanic’s voice filled with concern,,” Madam, Are you okay??. The lift will start operating within few minutes. I will soon set the snag. ??”.

I replied in a loud voice” No problem. I am okay. You carry on”.

After few minutes the lift jerked a bit and door opened .

I was asked to jump out.

As I stepped out, I saw a small crowd gathered staring at me, as if I had landed from space. 🚀🚀

For a moment I felt like Sunita Williams 😂.

So this is the morning hiccup I experienced. I had my fun moments to enjoy and also could spin this into a small story too.

Have you experienced any morning, evening or any hiccups in your daily routine ???
