We three idiots - height of overconfidence

'twas the third day in Mumbai. Myself and two of my my colleagues took an auto to our office... as usual. The auto was going on and on and on. Suddenly I and another friend of mine supposed that we had spotted the lane where our office was located. Unfortunately, we aren't conversant in Hindi. So our third colleague stepped in to take charge. He argued and debated and eventually forced the poor, experienced rickshaw driver to a pre-mature halt in the pretext of the said driver trying to fool us. We got off with assumed anger and a sense of inner satisfaction in having out-witted a sly rickshaw driver.... But our joy whatsoever, was rather shortlived... as we eventually found out that, the rickshaw driver was right after all....

We had fooled ourselves...
