India has got talent: Khoj not required.

-
               Well, I am not talking about any reality show. I am talking about a great talent with which people of the city are gifted. Even though we are surrounded by many such talented people, our eyes hardly notice it. Now without creating much suspense let me unveil what I am talking about… I am talking about great vehicle driving skills of people.

            I am saying this neither in taunt nor in exaggeration. Everyday I see people driving with such mesmerizing skills for which they themselves are innocently unaware. Otherwise for an ordinary person like me, when signal shows me a green light and when Crores (HA… KARODO) of horns are blasting into your ears, receiving a phone call is something far beyond my capability. But everyday I see so many doing it in a completely effortless manner.
             
            No matter how much the traffic density is; people find their way easily from the thinnest possible spaces. On two-wheeler they can easily carry 4 persons at a time. Even better are the car drivers. They can discuss about stock market, don’t tie their seat belt, cross the road even in yellow signal. Cross-roads are anyway the best place to show your driving talent. Some heroes can cross the road even when only the opposite side is allowed to move. And they feel even more proud when traffic police fails to catch them (if at all they try to :-P ).


            But the award for the greatest talent in the category goes to none other than AMTS bus drivers. On a road full with small two-wheelers, a bus looks like a big blue whale in the sea from which all small fishes (poor us) have to be constantly afraid. You will never come to know when they will change their mind and from where they will take turn. So is the case with auto-rikshaw drivers.

            Don’t you think such a talent requires standing applaud? Ok, stand for a while and also think about poor fellows like us, who are still not talented enough, still don’t drive at a swift speed, can’t talk on mobiles while driving. Be little careful and stop dreading us. :-P

I updated my relationship status from “single” to “engaged” on facebook. This instance created an instant wave of surprise among a circle of my friends and fans; of which few asked me to portray about my heavenly feelings on blog. Well, for those I’m sure this post is gonna be little disappointing. This post is not about romantic fantasies or dreamland. In fact it is about something more than that.             Amount of happiness, excitement and relief which exists now in my mind, body and soul is probably greater than the amount which exists after happy ending of any fairy tale.And just like any other fictional tale, my story is also little stupid and equally sensible.             My belief has become stronger that everything happens for the best. In the universe there is someone who is taking care of me and giving me best of the best. It took me some time to understand this ...

3 years at Torrent!!!

  I am regretted for breaking my tri-blog series on tricity, but I could not hold myself from writing my tri-year experiences at torrent. Just like her name, there is a torrent of thoughts on my mind and I am struggling very hard on what to include and what to eliminate. Also I thought a lot about a pic and finally put just a logo which today for me worth a million words.             Till college, life was easy. In school we had only one goal each year, going to next standard; same way in college we had only one goal, to clear a semesters. But after getting a degree, things changed. Things were not certain and I was little worried about my future and Almighty delighted me by flinging “torrent” into my lap. A company just 1 kilometer away from my home and also the technology I was gonna work on is one of the best IT technology. Some more positives started coming my way for example a great group of colleagues… mmmm.. no, it is n...

Unfamiliar acquaintances!!

     Sounds strange?? I also passed through some strange experiences and learned some significant lessons on human relations from it, so decided to write on this topic.      There are some acquaintances where we are unfamiliar of their background or facts. There are some acquaintances where we are not bound to follow any formalities, where we have to write our own rules from the scratch. Freedom is a key ingredient of such acquaintance. A human tendency is always to look for newness, for liberty. And that’s why such bonds are more attractive, more powerful.      A casual smile exchange with someone who once in a while crosses a road with you or shares a public transport, a Good Morning wish from a security guy, a friend’s friend who helps you adjust in a new city, a book author whom you trust can guide whenever you are down, an RJ who cheers you up while you’re getting bored, someone who showed you the right path when every ...
