That year may be 2002 or 2003.
In the morning we showed the commercial of Snowhite and seven Dwarfs stage show at some garden ( forgot the name of garden) to daughters, Rutuja and Rasika n promised them to go there in the evening.
We drove to Dubai and whole afternoon we were busy shopping and roaming at places.
Rutuja reminded about the show and I was nervous as I could know how to find location of that garden .
A feel of guiltyness started smothering me n Meetali.
Next show was after some days when I had my duty, so today was the last chance.
Whole days poor kids walked with us only dreaming for that show and now started driving back to Abu Dhabi.
Show was at 7:00 pm.
And it was already 6:50 pm.
I was cursing myself for my poor navigation skills n lack of planning to reach the show.
As I was hoping that kids may have forgotten or felt sleepy, then Rutuja again asked,
" Can we go for snow white show?"
Meetali was trying to convince that it won't be possible.
I was at speed of some 80 to 90 km/ h speed ...
And I saw a big banner, advertise of the very show and a direction guide...Turn right to go to the garden ! (Safa Park)
I took decision in fraction of second...may be even not checked rear-veiw mirror , applied little brakes and sharply turned right.
Few minutes after we reached the garden.
All car parking was occupied, i parked the car away and we walked, may be 2 kms to reach main gate of garden.
Again inside may be 1 km walk, I still remember cold breeze and paining legs.
We bought tickets / some snacks and walked on the lawn at seats at the show.
Show was yet to begin.
Me and Meetali could not believe ourselves that we had made it.
The show was great and Rutuja and Rasika laughed and enjoyed at lot.
And we two got enormous not 'discribable Happyness' looking at her happiness.
Later i thought,It was not end of the world.
Why did I take the risk to take that unpropted right turn??
I could have gone further , take some service road and we could have reach to the garden .
This we may call a "parents internal drive to see kids happy" !! which may give now or never feel to a father.
Luck supported us that day that No accident happened.
