Happy Drive ;)

It has been a while that I have come across drivers who have a funny and sunny side of looking at life. I have been travelling quite a while and most of the time I end up with a driver who is either groggy or angry with the world. They drive as if every body in this world is an enemy and the road a battle field.

Well, today happen to come across "Amir" who had a funny way of looking at things. While being stuck in the traffic for close to half an hour, he said, "Shall I order for the food". The cop may be of good help to us. With a lot of maneuvering we managed to reach the traffic signal but were still stuck. When the cop let us go, he started saying to the other fellow traffic mates, let's go before he (Cop) runs out of his quota.

It was really funny the way he spoke. :)

Autodisk!!!

Travel life in Mumbai Auto is so funny. I happened to travel from Powai to Thane. My first surprise was that the auto driver from Powai said he can drop me only at the Thane Toll gate. Beyond that I had to catch another auto to travel inside Thane. I have changed buses / trains / flights to reach a destination but Autos!??! Wow that was an adventure..

The second pleasant and funny was the travel and the negotiation of traffic. We three (Myself, driver & his auto) were stuck in the traffic. The driver said, “sabji, pakde rahna” (Sir, pl. hang on), with these words, he moved through the gaps onto the footpath which was filled with potholes due to the major rains. Then started the lovely bumpy ride for close to a kilometer. Thanks to his maneuvering we managed to come in front of the travel and I managed not to have a slip disk…

You need to have a special disk in your back called “Autodisk”!!!
