In an incident right out of the annal's of Ripley's "Believe it or not", residents of Bengaluru's G.M. Palya (off C.V.Raman Nagar) locality found that a goods laden auto that seemed to have a mind of it's very own had deigned to partially climb atop a tree trunk on it's very own.........
According to bemused residents, they were initially taken aback by the bizarre spectacle but soon began to see the lighter side of it, a few enterprising youths even deigned to click photographs of the "eccentric" goods auto and post the same on their facebook pages..........
According to one long standing resident of the area; vehicles begin to develop certain odd and inexplicable mannerisms on entering this east Bangalore locality and goes on to mention a similar incident when a helicopter had landed on the roof of a block of apartments in the area in the year 2012..........
While the pilot of the said helicopter had cited a technical glitch as the reason behind his seemingly insane decision of landing his helicopter on the roof; the driver of this tree climbing auto Abhi seemed at his wit's end in order to conjure up a reason for his auto's unwarranted and unseemly behaviour...........
"All I know is that the auto seemed to have developed a mind of will of it's very own as soon as it saw the tree, I am still trying to make sense of the bizarre situation as everything is one huge blur in my mind, the only thing that registered is the fact that I found the top atop a tree and that I forced open the driver's side door with great difficulty and shimmied down the trunk of the said tree"............
In the meanwhile a massive crowd soon gathered around Abhi and his tree climbing auto and ascribing their very own reasons for the auto's inexplicable behaviour, Abhi and his colleague who are employed with a retail chain in Marthahalli were in the process of delivering the goods in the back of the auto to a store in the area at around 1 pm or so when this happened.........
Abhi's colleague had gotten off in front of the store while Abhi had driven a little ahead to take a U turn as reversing the auto was an almost impossible proposition on the narrow road; Abhi had neatly executed a U turn and just about began heading in the direction of the shop when the auto careened of the road and climbed on top of the tree........
According to a bystander, the roof of the auto brushed a low hanging branch and the panicked driver applied his brakes post haste; this abrupt and unexpected action may have pushed the goods in the back of the auto towards the back of the auto and the sudden concentration of weight at the rear end caused the front wheel to rear up and climb the tree in question........
Well whatever might have been the reason for the auto's moment of fame; the end result was that the auto was extricated or brought down from it's precarious perch after about two hours or so without any damage to it's being and persona; a harried Abhi and his colleague then delivered the sixty odd kilograms of dosa batter lying in the back of the auto to the store and drove back to their depot in Marathahalli after causing much confusion, mayhem, mirth and raucous laughter........ ,
