Yahoo - Sacred Car on the roadway

Parking a car in Mumbai,India ( do not know about rest of the world) is becoming something to talk about/conversation piece at lunch /dinner/ day after breakfast / tea-coffee corner chit chat and other socially acceptable occasions.


Bang head on key board and continuing the following post in the numbness ....

So You own a car ? Big deal, every one does these days.


Chances are the corner panwala owns a bigger vehicle than you, a more expensive one, chances are the guy you despise everyday, yeah the same fictional imaginary guy who quints his eyes when you pass by him, he owns a bigger stretched vehicle than yours. 
Your friend may own a vehicle larger in size,shape and price than yours.

And dont get started on which uncle in what locality owns what exotic vehicle, the same you had in your dream last night !! ( if you are a man it's easier to corelate to this last sentance :d ).

Now you own a small teensy weeny fuel efficient vehicle,   a pride symbol, something very close to your heart after all, you bought with your own money ( or are working to pay it off in monthly installment style ( do excuse the head bang, previous numbness started fading off here).

So we have a car, do we have a parking space ? The word "No" involves 2 letters, "Yes" involves 3 letters. We chose Yes and No, depending on where we are.

Outside a movie hall / office /residencial building/visiting some restaurant / new spot in town / anywhere/ everywhere/ the list continues .... so try parking your vehicle on the streets, better still make it a sunday or a holiday and add in late night time ( 11 pm would do fine).


The friendly pan spitoon friendly yet "sidey" Pay & park guy emerges from a dark corner shows up in a filthier than the rag picker on the street "uniform" shirt, with a machine in hand that makes funny noises and prints everything except your vehicle number, day,date and time. Besides that, you get some numbers which do not make any sense to any one without numbness in the forehead, the charge is always "extra".


You know its extra amount not the real amount, he knows its extra, he pretends you don't know it, and you pretend you really don't know it YET you just pay it off to him , just to get rid of the guy .

Open the door for your beloved one ( i am presuming you did not go to the movie/party/occasion that ends at night/some meaningful event..  alone you creepy mind , and if you did then you fought with the pay & park molestor  ) 

Back to the vehicle, your sanctuary of peace and solitude on the streets. That is you paid the guy Or else you could have parked your car in some discrepit lane where your stereo and tyres /car logo/ miscellaneous are stolen the moment you leave the autocop beep locked.


Now cars are very sacred to Indians, its sacred to me,  I have a bell *ting ting * in my car.  The lord is with us in our heart and car. I've seen stickers of various deities/gods/goddesses. Trucks have "Horn Ok Please" rest of us have our versions of the same. Recently i am seeing a lot of "Baby on Board" stickers. Now I need to figure out whose the bab?,  The girl driving the vehicle or is that the mother ?Couldnt figure this one out on that car atleast. Some people have a  sacred deity idol of small / medium size and i have even seen a small temple with 3 colored (red green and blue ) bling bling lights in a mercedes at a signal next to me.

The same bling bling light plastic shelter minus the lord icon  was again seen by me, second time in a Taxi.  I scratched my head both times, in the taxi due to a dirty head roof and my blading head allergy to dirty taxi roofs.

The car is a luxury not a necessity some say, but those who have 1 and only one automobile possesion claim it is a necessity not a luxury. Roads bumpy however they be a reminder of what roads used to be. Need to drive Get a road not a car is the motto the world will realize soon. ( you read this concept first here)



Pay & Park a novelty concept indeed.Pay what and park what/where/why?

 I could ramble more , but then i guess for today these words mean enough. The pain is coming back which means either i bang head on keyboard more and continue, but then that means i could need a new keyboard. :P

Few words which mean a lot to me

We say the stars twinkle, I say the eyes blink.
So who is right and what is wrong.
We are all the same, ( the stars and us, & You and me)

Synchodestiny & others

For a long time i did not possess a urge /desire to read small print.
A small funny incident ( funny when i remember the way it unfolded) happened, changing a boring & lazy sunday morning into something filled with energy & excitment.

I would strongly recommend these books to be read.

If you have read any of these books/titles, I would like to hear your opinions, rants about them. :)

Is it all a lie ?

I have this notion, that the world is a lie ,

My existence - a lie, a small speck of sand in the ocean of time, unnoticeable, thus unexisting, thus you wouldnt really know if i existed ever.

Your life - a lie again, you think you know what you are doing, but you don't, <----- Read thrice and think again, you really dont know what you are! how would you know what you are doing ? or what you will be doing for that matter again !!

The reality is only imagination. One man's imagination is another man's reality. Example:- You and I think of going up in space and watching earth ( waving our hands and tears of joy package reflecting at the earthly deeds, once we are in space ) BUT the people on spacestation ( selected few individuals- (best of the best types) are already in space watching the earth every moment of their life , even right now and may be one of them is imagining - enough of this zero gravity, let me get my feet back on ground.


Another common notion- The person who is motivated says - I am motivated ( Motivated enough to do what i ask ?) The person who is not motivated says - I am not motivated ( good grief why would you need motivation if you spell it out in public - if you ask for help, i think it is only because of your need to connect to people and get their sympathy


Its all a lie - Remember you read it first here !
