Rebel Talk

Alright, Me ? yet another bug in the IT industry, thats what I say to myself…(*wink*)
We had some clients from France visiting our offshore centre a few days ago.

And we are very good at heart, always, to not let them leave our country without grinding some chillies on their head…in the name of teamlunch !

Came this guy mike a good friend of mine, who said wassup with yo
bike !

oh ?!! do you have one in France ?
He said yeah, its a new one – 990 Cc.
(cm’on my car is jus’ 800 cc)

The ride got kicked n before I could get into 3rd gear !?!!?

** sudden brake **
Mike: wassup ?
Me: Nothin ! Breaks are instantly invoked, whenever a vehicle crosses an
idol of worship.
As a mark of respect, prayers have to be offered, even if the temple is
2-3/4 sq ft in the the focal centre of the road.
(and prayers indeed have to be offered, for all innocent souls coming
behind !)

Mike: guess ppl are very religious
Me: ye…aa…hhh

n I crossed exactly 300 metres (come on am a math graduate)

** sudden brake **
Mike: wassup ?
Me: wait … oh the guy riding before has jus’ got a call on his mobile,
and he ….grrrr… doesn’t mind frying peanuts in the middle of the road…
Mike: Frying peanuts ? what does that mean ? oh I guess ppl are strangely romantic
Me: ahem !!

and as we crossed there was a yellow coloured object quickly approaching
us on the opposite side on our side of the road
Mike:
Hey, it is keep left in India right ?
Me:
Who said so ?
generally ppl drive on left of the road, but mostly we drive on whatever
is “left on the road” !

And !! there was almost a head on collision and some vigorous verbal
exchanges (yeh ! me .. Puratchi Programmer) for which I promised mike that I would arrange  for english sub titles soon …

Me:
ok Mike, I gotta tell you about this,
Well this is called an AUTO …
and all chennai roads are theme parks, and all rides are roller coaster
ones…
last but not the least all auto drivers are inborn with inconsistent
insanity with 3 different licenses..
License to Kill, Thrill and Bill !
** sudden brake**
Mike:
phew..! wassup now ?
I see so many ppl running fast in a pyramid fashion…

Me:
(I wondered for a moment)
Oh ! Pls care to see a lil bit deeper…
(*grin*) this is a bigger version of Auto : a Share Auto.
It can approximately accomodate 17.5 persons(yeah yeah am a Math
Graduate), at times the vehicle carrying them becomes invisible.

and as I drove, I introduced Mike to so many other interesting
conditions of Chennai traffic with jerks and jolts loosening  his mind’s
nuts and bolts.

gosh ! I made the second biggest blunder in my life (first was ofcourse
watching Ram Gopal vermas’s “Baag” oops sorry “Aag” last month, which I tend to forget with 10 most worst things to happen  to India in the year 2007) ok comin’ to this one, I dared to enter tNagar, in a peak hour..!
Guts man…real guts !

Mike:
Wats this place ? why are so many ppl rushing in and out…

Me:
well, ppl either shop for a season or a reason, but I dunno ppl shop
here for anything, you can even get a brand new chip of 512 MB DDR RAM at
a diwali discount !

Mike:
ok, I wanna tell u something ..

Me:
what ?

Mike:
bloody fish’er  am hungry !!!
(The blog is categorized under PG, so certain words might be in disguise)

** sudden brake **
Mike:
whos this man ?

Me:
well raise your sight, and see above the tummy…
Chennai traffic police remind me of my childhood days, as they play
“running and catching” to get hold of vehicles, u know its really funny
and thilling too…(*grin*)

and I saw someone running really fast…
“hey mike..stop…! wait am comin…”
