Had I been Kidnapped then??

.

If I was kidnapped on that day, what would have been my current profession?

Just a rewind.....

It happened during my early school days in Madurai.... It was an early era of Gas cylinders in the households and people used to fulfill their fuel requirements thru Kerosene from the Co-operatives and other Grocery shops. We were not one among the exceptions. We were also waiting for our Gas Cylinders from Indane (Indian Oil sub), after registration. (Relatives who got the connection earlier, used to beam a lot. Normally, the waiting period used to be long - few years!!!).

Unfortunately the Iran-Iraq war was the happening event then, which affected the fuel availability a lot. People used to get and store as much as fuel they need, in their house. If there was a news that a particular outlet was releasing fuel to everyone, people used to throng that place. I had that experience of accompanying my Mom.

The said incident happened on a school holiday. I was alone with my younger brother at home. One stranger came to our house and said my Dad is waiting in the nearby Co-op store and asked someone from our house to come there with a CAN & money. As a dutiful son, I left my brother in our neighbour's house and went with that stranger. I thought of making a wise decision.

As he claimed, my Dad was not waiting there. Somehow, he convinced me and asked me to buy the Kerosene. After getting the CAN filled, he told me that he will deliver it at my house and will bring one more CAN to buy some more. I agreed to it and gave the CAN to him (without even thinking that no one was there at home!!!).

I waited.. and waited.. and waited..for a long time. The conman never returned. After sometime, my Mom reached that place and realised the situation. She took me back with some nice scoldings.... Anyhow, she thanked all the known Gods that I was brought back safely. For me, that was a lesson learnt. Even now, if a stranger approaches me, my mind thinks a lot about his intentions.

Now.. the first line again...

If I was kidnapped on that day with some wrong intentions, what would have been my current profession?

1) An Iron-ore shop owner

2) Internet / Telephone Booth owner

3) Dhaal / Rice - wholesale distributor

4) Some Underworld / Goonda element in Chennai

5) A Cine actor like Vadivelu or Vijaykanth (both from Madurai) or some other cine technician

6) PTC bus driver

7) Kandhu Vatti Dhaadhaa (Underworld Financier)

8) Left hand of 'Viduthalai Siruthai' Thirumavalavan or 'PMK' Ramadoss

9) Strong Union Leader in Chennai Port

10) 'Udhayam' or 'Devi' theatre employee.

If you ask me based on my attitude & passion, I might have selected one of these.. (2),(3),(5) or (10). What is your guess?
