Driving a Car!

Owning a car is not the thing of rich people now..with the market selling economy cars like Nano and Alto..everyone can afford to buy a car..!
That is why..a car is found everywhere these days..in the local market, outside the grocery, in front of the parlor, everywhere..n that is one of the reasons why more and more people want to own a car..
But then..is driving really that simple a task?? Maybe it was..say 10-15 years back! Because at that time..vehicles like auto-rickshaws and buses were called traffic. Now you can the 5 cars of same color and creed on one single lane of the road. Just imagine..driving in that traffic..when you've started driving a car recently..
The theory about clutch, break and accelerator..n then the bloody gears..indicators..oh! There is so much to remember..how can anyone understand, learn and implement everything all at once!! That too on the roads that are always busy..!
The horror in the face of a new driver can be sensed very easily. Try stepping in front of someone who has just learnt driving..even if he at a speed of 10 kmph, he'll look at you as if you're just going to get killed!!
Once the newly learnt drivers take their car on road they face the real drama. The look on their faces is that of a person who is just going to get beheaded! They feel super comfortable at the speed of 20 kmph..and they don't even dare to change the gear to even 2nd!
Another major threat is the red light!! Oh the traffic signal..how you have to stop your car behind the car which is already in that lane..and then start it again..at such a speed that you don't hit it! Which is quite a tough task.
You can actually see the blood get drained from the faces of these drivers if they see another car at a turning..or a bunch of people walking in such a way that the whole road is covered by them. That's when these drivers start cursing you in their head forgetting that they used to do the same thing a few days back! Then starts bloody honking..which obviously everyone hates..but hey! except the driver..coz at that time.. the horn is the sole Savior!!
There are many people who keep ignoring the car horns and continue walking on the same lane..it is at that time that the drivers literally wish they could stop the car and slap that person. And you think..why don't people listen to the horns..?
Well..you used to do the same thing!! Thinking that the driver will take care..he'll find some way out..! But oh dear..ask someone who has just learnt driving..they keep honking for your life..not their!!
Maybe some day they'll learn to drive and they'll become like you..but in the initial stages..oh my! Driving is such a tough task.!

Do we know ourselves?

Image
In today's fast paced life, all of us are moving too fast. Some after goals, some after money and the rest after other people! What everyone is missing is the life that they have. The life that is static and calm, forever.  Today, when we have the answer to almost all questions of life, when comfort has become cheaper and when we are almost done with all the questions about our origination & our life, we have now started to learn about life on other planets too. Our daily schedule is fixed. We wake up with a goal in mind, we have our regular coffees, then we go to our offices, with the thought of doing more work, learning something new and then we come home, change and again go out with friends (coz of course we need to release all the stress of work), we come home tired, late at night and go to bed. In this highly busy and fast schedule, we manage our relation with friends, lover, relatives (though their existence has almost become zero today), neighbors and those hi-by

Queen: The modern face of Indian women

All the status updates and reviews of Queen movie literally compelled me to watch the movie. So as I started with the movie, I told myself that by the end of it I’ll have something really good to remember. But I found the first few scenes to be very weird! We Indians are too bored with the usual boy-breaks-a-girl’s-heart thing! It’s quite usual in India, especially in the case of marriage, to see a girl crying over a boy! Well, we all know that wounds get healed with time and of course I expected the same to happen to her! I didn’t show much of interest in the movie and I found it quite disheartening that people had started loving this kind of story! I don’t remember what interested me most, but I kept glued to the Laptop throughout the movie. I kind of started liking the way it had been represented. The girl, the simple , sanskari Indian girl was learning to live! Not a single thing shown in the movie is unreal! Rani, the protagonist, cries remembering that he was there t

Meeting Them So They Can Select You: Arrange Marriage

It was the first time she was going to meet someone. Her parents, friends, relatives were all very excited. She had gone to her uncle’s place where they were going to come. Her mom woke her up that morning. Her father greeted her lovingly. Aunt and Uncle smiled when they saw her. Both the brothers were busy in arranging gift packets and fruits on the tray. Her sister had got that beautiful maroon dress ironed for her. Grandparents gave their blessings and she felt very special that day. Everyone was happy. She quickly took a bath and put on that anarkali salwar kameez. Then some kajal, mascara, compact and a lip gloss. She wanted to keep it simple and original. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt good. Half dried hair, little makeup, typical Indian salwar suit with dupatta and her smile! So good! She felt happy and content. How girls sometimes fall in love with themselves! Her happiness was no because she was going to meet that person, who, if destiny allowed, wou
