havell's
did you see the recent "havells wires that dont catch fire" ad ? I was a great fan of the previous one and this somehow doesn't make sense. Add to it that i never approved pouring ghee into fire, even without getting into existence of god/bhakti etc. Not that i say this outside this blog any longer.

Through out the world cup so far, i have read so many different articles about sachin tendulkar. analyzing from every possible angle and praising to an extent tendulkar would have surely felt at least a small thing.
well, here's mine
what if tendulkar had chosen some other field ? software engineering? or maybe politics ?

inadvertant
fight at home. go somewhere to collect something. made to wait. 1 hour and 15 minutes. because they have misplaced it. talk nothing. shout at nobody. wait. atlast the awaited comes. but the receptionist who was handling you has gone for tea. she
comes back. gives you it. The thing is in alwarpet. some red-black flags need to cross. so wait at the signal for another 20 minutes.
calculating the strategy back home. go home and give in or hold up.
nearing home. traffic. you know how congested it can get near panagal park. that much traffic. Slowly move the bike by leg rather than by motor. somebody is honking. ok, there is some space in front. try to move front. the honking daredevil 18 something girl in scooty overtakes to get that space. Glare at the direction in general.
Now, the mother riding pillion in the scooty starts shouting at the girl. shout/advice/threaten (that you will not be allowed to drive). for about the next three minutes, we, me and scooty, had to move bumper close (or whats the term for two-wheelers? anyways, song on my lips "dei panakkaara.. nee keera vaanga kaaril poii...). The mother was still shouting when i crossed them.
I had a big smile on my face. I went home and everything was happy.
:D
And no post yet on sunday's match? this blogging circle is dead.

Say WoW !!!

fyi.......
Don't hesitate to read.... This may help you if you travel in MTC
True Incident!! Fight for rights.
I m working in Chennai (Thoraipakkam). I usually travel by
Metropolitan Transport Corporation(MTC) bus, from jain college stop (Which
is near to my office) to tidel park and from Tidel park I will catch train,
to home. MTC bus coming from kelambakkam(19B,21H) mostly wont stop in tidel
park in early days. So I usually prefer to get into T51 bus, which will
stop in tidel park stop. After some time 19B started stopping in tidel park
also.
Today while returning from office at around 8.30 pm, I was in a hurry to
catch my 9.28 pm train at Tidel park. I got up a bus(19B) in Jain College
at around 8.45 pm, and asked the conductor to give a ticket for tidel park
stop. He said, the bus wont stop there, and he asked me to get down at
signal if it stops there or else get down at stop next to tidel park. I was
arguging with him that I am going daily with the same bus and get down in
the tidel park stop. But he was keep on saying the same thing.. I got
irritated with conductor response. Suddenly I remembered a complaint phone
no.(9884301013) I read in one bus sometime back and noted down in my
mobile. I called that no. and said about the incident that conductor is not
stopping in the usual stop.
The MTC representative (person at the other end) asked me to give the phone
to the conductor. The conductor was not interested to talking with his
official. The MTC rep. asked me the bus registration no. He enquired where
is the bus at that time and I said it is in Kandhanchavadi. The MTC rep.
said he will come in the line and talk to them. I was curious how he will
come and catch the bus.
After few mins. the wireless transmeter(to track the bus), near the driver
in the bus started shouting... Driver stop the bus. Driver stop the bus in
the left side of the road. Driver was not sure what is happening may be his
first experience, for others(including me) it is the real first
experience. The driver stopped the bus and started listening to the
transmeter. The MTC rep. enquired why the bus is not stopping in tidel park
stop. The driver said he stops in tidel park stop and in the previous trip
also he has done. The rep. asked him then why the conductor is saying like
that. He asked the conductor what is the issue. The conductor was
speechless. The driver somehow managed the situation and supported the
conductor by saying that the conductor was new to this route. The driver
asked excuse for the incident and said he will stop in the Tidel Park stop
The MTC rep. said he wanted to talk the passenger who called him. I went
near the transmeter and spoke to the MTC rep. He said sorry for the
incident happened and asked sorry on behalf of MTC. Everyone in the bus
were surprised of things happening. I came back to my seat and I was so
embarrassed as all were looking at me. Few passengers asked me what is the
no. and whom I called. They also took the no. The bus stopped in Tidel Park
stop then. After getting down I called the MTC rep. and said the bus
stopped in the stopping.
It was a nice experience for me and others who travelled in the bus,
including driver and conductor and I was very shocked after this incident.
Yes, nowadays good things are happening in government sector also and
technology is used properly.
