Traffic and its jams

Early morning 8.30.. cab arrival time.. no time to eat.. oh God, where is my wallet.."son, u indisciplined lad.. when will u straighten up in life?" .. mom screaming on my back, as usual ;-).. arrey, this shoes na.. idiots, why do they put lace into that.. oh noo.. cab's here.. #@#$! &... aahhh!
.................everyone stare from their eye corner as i tie my lace, pull my cuffs back sitting inside the cab panting.. 'irresponsible guy'.. says someone grinning .. thudd!! there falls my impression.. we are late by 10 mins..

...."chal chal meri haathi ..oh meri saathi"... kishore sings as the cab cruises along on the road.. the driver is energetic, fast n furious, has eyes all over his body as he twists n turns and maneuvers the vehicle skillfully in the space right in between a mammoth lorry and gigantic bus.. wonderful!! how does he figure out that there is just enough space between the two giants for him to squeeze his vehicle.. (hmm... i was reminded of my school days where i used to manage to push my head thru the mob to see the results displayed on the board..then well, i can be a better driver than him .. huh!)..heyyy.. where did this autowala come from .. he is even better.. found enough place between my cab and the khatarnak lorry.. aaila.. i just turn my head and gosh! what do i see.. we are sorrounded by a crowd of vehicles.. scooters, cars, autos, vans.. where did they pop in from... ??? and there we are amidst a traffic jam going no where.. we are late by another 15 mins.. everyone in the cab again stare at me... :O 'damn this guy.. only if he hadn't made us wait..' ... my face is a pumpkin now :(

well ppl.. the above is the story of any seeda sada banglorean ladka like me.. but let me tell you.. traffic jam.. yess, its the traffic and its jam that makes Bangalore so lively and active.. ppl who would be drowsing inside their vehicles will wake up with all enthusiasm and start shouting, cheering, honking, guiding (others), cursing when traffic comes to a standstill.. wow, ppl awake when traffic sleeps................
....................... Got to see such a traffic jam here after a long long time and wasn't my heart rejoicing and happy recalling the golden days in Bangalore.. i felt home after a long time.. the university drive (the main road adjacent to our apartments) was packed with cars and ppl returning from a football game, eager to return home and i was standing there flashing my teeth telling my room mate.. "man, i love traffic jams.. and the ones in Bangalore... they are the best"

Phoenix!!


Here i go.. after a looong time .. being in US, felt that i should start writing about my expereinces here.. have been writing lot of assignments recently but this one should be different though, blogging may help others understand one's thoughts but for me this one could be a vent to express my views and happenings ... to come out of my student mode for a while..mmm... hence, at the early morning stroke of 5 o clock i sit in front of my laptop with a beginner's enthu to pen down the extravaganza ;)

The early fresh morning is pulling me hard to sleep but my mind is running all sorts of stories inside it... it is replaying things again and again like the video songs on youtube i watched few mintues back.. serenity of the late night walk... the imagination of car filled, human empty roads adjacent to the univ but above all its asking me the big question.. whats next in life?? where am i going??? damn the question.. if i knew the answer i would have made millions by telling futures of other's lives as well... i beleive that question is a natural concern of every person...
...Well to say this mind is present all over the head (yeah, i am a tough beleiver that mind is in head and not in stomach else i would have hit my stomach whenever i did a mistake... ouch!!)
...... the fact that mind sits all around the head is proven by the fact that its flashing all the above images in my foreground.. while on the sideground (is there a word like 'sideground' ? pls let me know before someone files a patent for that ;) ), its listening to the snoring of my room mate while one more is giggling n lost in himself watching some comedy shows BUT most importantly
in the background its popping all those technical things i read some time back.. s-plane, laplace transform, amplifier, gain... uufffffff!!! cant take it any more... :(

..... eeehhh.. foreground, side ground, background...confused?? then let me hide inside my blanket as soon as possible before some one decides to lay their hands on me :) am going to sleep with a strong determination of adding more confusions.. oops, i meant adding more postings...till then Guddd moorrrrnniiinn ..... zzz..zzz :)
