When i got out of my home today.. i was super late. Overslept.. cursed the alarm..got ready in a rush. was still munching on the last bits of my breakfast wen i reached downstairs.. only to find no ricks around. well, cudnt get more late... so started walking... no ricks on the road either.... not even on S V ROAD!! no traffic jams at all.... didnt have to jump left right to save myself from autorickshaws speeding in from random directions....didnt have to run a few steps.. stop all of a sudden... wriggle between two ricks.. damn!! dats was a boring walk to Andheri Stn!! Was still sweating.. skin felt burnt...n already worrying about how will i reach hyatt for my meeting in the eve.
but wait a min... dat wasnt the point to this blog.....
sorry for deviating..... i do talk too much
the ricks are on a three day strike to rebel against electronic meters being made compulsory. why? i dont know. seems like govt decided without asking them. logic says also coz they are difficult to maintain. dont think they cant be tampered with thoug. whatever be the case... a three day long strike.. some 14lakh three wheelers off the road... for just this one thing? paise ka chakkar babu bhaiya...
interesting to see such sentiments of revolting.. making their voice heard didnt come along a couple of months bck when their cabbie buddies were being beaten up... when their cabs were damaged and windshields broken. No emotions came about then to stand up, talk and go on a strike. so wat if the guy next to me is injured.... and his cab not in a state to run anymore. i need to earn my daily bread, right?? ofcourse.... i've issues with an electronic meter which is yet to prove how harmful it can be to my life.
materialistic world. emotions buried under heaps of money concrete. 20 years we waste in studyin to get a job... 40 years we shall work day n night.. always aiming for another appraisal, a better job offer... more savings for that home, that car.....
thats life. that how i shall live it. happily. successfully. but once in a while... i shall let the human in me get a say.. wat about you?

U better kill the tumor called 'human in me'
b4 it gets u
maybe u should let the "human" speak more often.. or rather listen to her more often! What makes this race for contentment funnier is the knowledge that there isn't a finish line!
(like the line: paise ka chakkar babu bhaiya:)
