I have to travel daily 40 Kms (20-20) to reach my damn office.... to get a bit faster i prefer it by my bike...even though its hell of a trip !!!
But todays post is not about how 'poor' me have to travel through such distressing situation...but...its about the birth of my "blog" ideas.
Yes, most of my blog ideas come from this 1 hr travel ...
Get to see so many exciting things on road , so many stories unbound in my own imagination.
Like the other day, saw a young dad on activa carrying his 5-6 months old baby snugged in a baby carrier close to his heart...where might he going? Drop baby to his mom's place or crushe? Where might be his wife..must be working woman ... i remember "zaansi ki raani" when i first saw him...only difference she was carrying the child on back and riding on horse :) else everything is same....he is fighting his own "ladhaiee", isn't it? isn't it a war , a struggle to live in this fast moving world?
just 2 min and so many so many thoughts :)
Then one day , waiting to get a "green" on my way saw a young cool chap...on a 2 wheeler, wearing a dhoti and a cool "Adidas" jacket on it !!! and to add more a fancy looking head phones .
Very funny site indeed....must be celebrating some mismatch day i guess...
There is banyan tree on my way , and it is perfectly situated when i take a sharp turn..a splendid sharp turn i would rather say :)..... and every time i pass this tree...i feel an urge to leave my bike and hold its branches...like a super hero (or any bollywood hero for that matter :P).......EVERYTIME. I am in fact so afraid of the intensity of this thought that i might do it someday :P
on the same road ahead once i saw an old lady being a pillion rider to a 40+ age man... she was wearing "nav-vari" ..a traditional sari wore in "koli style" . She had clutched her son's jacket so tight...guess it was totally new experience to her.......she was looking damn cute :)
At the same sharp turn one day an old vintage car was going steadily in front of me...after few seconds i was parallel with it , wanted to see who is riding this old beauty... and to my surprise the driver was as old and as beautiful as that of the car. A lady, must 80 + age driving it so confidently that i decided i am gonna take my car out tomorrow :)
i wanted to keep on looking at her face....such a marvellous confident face. I distinctly remember that day my mood was horrible , i was upset but when i passed her....i was smiling, in a fraction of second my mood took complete 180 deg turn....i was happy ...this was the magic of the moment i shared..
This is the magic i shared with these unknown faces, unknown stories.....wish i could share with you all....wish i could have a camera installed in front of my bike to take pictures whenever there is something so magical, so beautiful and inspiring... wish my idea would be legal in few days and i can have this innovative idea on front page of "economic times - power of idea" section :)
Till then...just "see" through my words :)

'Till then, just see thru my eyes' - wud hv been more poetic...or 'thru my eyes tha have the power to translate visuals to words' wud hv been little more logically poetic...we engineers always try to bring in logic into everything...
