    “Mayaaaa, what on earth are you trying to do “yelled Shyam.” Press the brake damn it, the car is out of control, are you out of your mind, have you forgotten to drive, an ace racer is not able to drive a Cherokee. What is wrong with you, if you don’t put the brakes we will fall off the cliff. “Oh, just shut up Shyam, I’m not able to pull the car to a halt; there is something wrong with the brakes.” I cannot even shift the gears, Oh god, Shyam we are going to die”, yelled Maya.
