Mad Max Infinity War

The boy has s lemon green tee shirt on him. On his back is emblazoned "Big Basket". He swerves into the traffic with his bike. He cannot brave it through. Gets stuck. In front of my cab. Cab is Ola. Big Basket looks strangely at Ola. He thinks it is Ola's fault that he is stuck. Ola is thinking he's travelling straight on a straight road. Though the road has all the attributes of classic Bangalore post nuclear dystopia. Potholes, ravines and crevices. Stuck vehicles, drooping electricity poles and loose stoned and sand thrown on the sides of the road. Even Mad Max wouldn't be able to traverse this. Ola has a job on hand. And then this. Big Basket. Wheel in front of wheel. Which wheel shall go first? May the best man win? No, they don't go out and have a duel. The duel happens through eyes. Sullen piercing eyes of Big Basket bores into Ola. Ola's bloodshot angry arrack laden eyes bore into Big Basket. The eyes devour. The eyes shove. The eyes make ten cars behind both of them go up 300 meters into the air with Rajanikanth fuelled 70 mm disruption. The eyes swivel buses ahead. Men fall down from 20 floor above in nearby dystopian towers by the force of those eyes. Then I, spoiler of Mad Max Infinity War, ask Ola to go back a bit and allow Big Basket to go. He does that with a roaring grunt. World War Z is averted. I am not there in the Vidhan Soudha. Wonder who's managing it there.
