MY Driving Classes!

LOng time! Sorry for d ones who have been expecting ma posts n sorry for d ones who have been not been expecting ma posts:) :)

It has always been a dream for me to drive around my own car in d city! Finally d initial step started 2 months back. Joined in a driving school nearby. Ma friend even promised to teach me driving in 2 weeks for 500 bucks per week. His offer was pretty cheap though, but poor soul must have had to spend at least a lakh on his hospital expenses. Maybe he should talk to ma driving sir! lol....
DAY1: SOOPER COOL ride for me, coz i was just handling d steering
DAY 2 n 3 n 4 n 5 n 6 n 7 went on like that.
DAY 12: I started believing, I can manage to drive myself hereafter. DOES IT SOUND LIKE A KARAN JOHAR MOVIE?
Then arrived d day when i had to practice H. IT was pretty confusing but at d end of d session I somehow managed to. After a hectic 30 day schedule my license test date arrived. Oh forgot to mention about d learner's license test day! Studied d whole 25 pages test booklet on d test day morning- nothing unusual - my test preparations have always been that way! The usual politics there at the RTO office! This time i was not at the receiving end. he he Since we were from a reputed driving school we got the priority to enter the test room surpassing the 128 who were in the queue n who had been waiting from early morning.... Felt sad for them but then I was being selfish ( I don't want to generalize people! ). I could see the reactions of people whom we had overtaken , grumbling n calling us names.. I had a "CANT HELP IT" attitude. Suddenly an officer who had finished his 11'o clock tea n snack came out just to make others feel he s dedicated to work. He made some arrangements in the queue n most of the ones whom we had overtaken was also made to stand along with us. Now their faces got lightened up. Finally, I passed the test!

Now on I can officially drive a car provided I have a person who has a license along with me. Early morning class made my driving sir wait outside my house everyday at least for 10 minutes. It all came to normal once I got a serious blasting from my sir in front of other students one fine morning. The driving trip was fun, I can concentrate on my speed alone while d sir would take care of the brake part, people on the road would call me names, run helter skelter.... now who s bothered?? I have my window glasses up , ac on! :) This fun did not prolong again due to unavoidable reasons.... I usually get serious when exam are a week ahead n d same way I had to get serious when license date was only a week away. Learning H was supposed to be claimed by a lot of people to be ROCKET SCIENCE n bah it isn't believe me! I am not Bragging but yeah it was the easiest part.

D BIG day arrived n all set to go for the license test. I was asked to carry a bottle of water n lunch since our Indian license test format is the easiest n shortest but takes a day to finish. Felt like I was going for trekking! n not to get tanned fully covered shoe, cap, a big bag with lots n lots of water, bread for lunch , sun glass, etc....... As usual there was a long queue at d place. I was standing at d front with other students from our driving school. Then slowly people started standing in front of us. Tension kept us stay quiet until a girl got on to my nerves! I had to impolitely as her to go n stand at the back of the queue. Her parents n driving sir gave me such a furious look as if I was burnt into ashes. Now again the long wait continued for an hour. Then came our barons of the day! There were three of them n they were 2 hours late for the test. I wished i could have made them a take a H test before assessing us. grrrrrr..... Then they started there usual brattish way of treating the CITIZENS. He made us stand in alphabetical order n the girl whom i very POLITELY had asked to go behind was the first to take the test:) :) wow must have been an enjoyable moment in THEIR LIVES..... No wonder V - vaishnavee was made to stand at the last. I wonder these people dont make mistakes alphabets. Finally, my turn to take the H test. I was given a different car from which I had been practicing with no accelerator (not in working condition, usually done by these driving schools to teach students to take H but I was not) . It was a cakewalk for me:) . (yeh Iam bragging). Then we had to wait for our turn for the road test. This was the funniest part I mean the practicing session. We all were learning the hand signal for right, left, north, south, etc....... Since the sir considered me to be the so called- best:):) out of the lot (driver), I was asked to go for the test first. Sir was sitting behind my seat to give instructions to stop n change gear by scratching on the seat. I started the car , changed 4 gears, the policeman was happy. He asked me to park it near a van. I was excited that the test got over, now that I can legally drive my car all alone! A sudden bump onto the pedestrian platform ruined all my dream..... sheesh i calculated the distance well ahead .... but then it was a curve and the width was much higher! my calculation(not maths) went wrong! My sir literally tore of the seat cover by scratching hard.... well I had to get down and after many years saw "Failed" written in red ink. I was broken! I had wait on the road for the car to return back after another student's test. I was standing on the side of the road, wondering what happened, I still couldn't believe it! It started raining, like in movies, my tears were not to be seen, i got drenched n walked in slow motion like the hero walking at the end of climax alone... ALL ALONE! BOOOHHHOOOO.

But the story has a happy ending..... After 15 days I went again for the road test, cleared it n finallly I am DRIVING the car! yipppeeeeee......................
to be contnued in PART 2 LOL( JUS KIDDING)

Just because Iam a GIRL!

I wish someone would have told me that, just because I'm a girl, I don't have to plan anything in line with my marriage!

I have always been a confused child. I like it being that way at times since it gives me an array of options first and then I get to choose from that. After tenth standard I was confused about the course to choose for 12th standard. I somehow managed to choose it in accordance with my liking to subjects then. Then came a bigger hurdle, choose what to do next! After much persuasion was allowed to go chennai for under graduation. However, this was possible due to many reasons like, sister already there, grandmother also there to take care of me. Cant blame anybody but only me , I was homesick for about 2 months and cried every time mom left back after visiting me there.

College life was an extreme experience. I meant extreme in the sense that totally conflicting
from what I have heard from others and my imagination. The only place I felt I was made to feel important in my life. At-least being a GIRL I felt that way soo much:) I got the chance to advice, fight, argue,compete, teach n even dominate over BOYS! comeon after all its an one time opportunity in life! god knows whether I rather a GIRL would get another chance:)) I truly enjoyed being a girl for those 5 years in my life. But soon there were lot of hitches.
Can I join the company in B'lore - No , you cant go that far. you are a GIRL!
No jobs in far away places, no job with traveling, no job with bond for more than a year, no night shift jobs, etc. You have to relocate after marriage. Can I go abroad fro higher studies?You can always go after marriage. Being a GIRL cant get harder.

What I hate the most being GIRL is ENCUMBRANCE

RESTRICTIONS : * get back home soooooon. * no theatre * you cant go there, u r a girl! argggghhhhh *start washing your clothes, keep your room clean, wash the vessels - later in life u have to manage a house! * You help me cook, let him watch tv, he is boy! * Let him go out, you can miss the outing with friends, no big deal. later in life u wil have to sacrifice lot. No night outs - when do we get to see night? jus peep through the window , see the stars and moon n exclaim oh yeh its night? bah! i CLAIM TO POUT .
We have to start washing vessels at 16, help to clean at 18, start cooking at 20, and stop arguing and fighting when you start learning how to argue n fight! so, when in our life do we get to do it? Plan our carrer and even work location in accordance with future life partner. How silly do girls have to live? We girls always envy certain things about guys, like night outs , prohibited inside kitchen, considered to be very strong anyways! certain things are taken for granted for them.

Though I hate lot of things being a girl I have enjoyed things more than what I have hated. So, never would I regret being a GIRL!

"I'd rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, get appreciated, help MEN and after we are the first to be rescued off sinking ships, THE TRUE SURVIVORS":)

We've begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters. I WISH PARENTS START REALIZING AND BE IMPARTIAL :( SOB SOB

Hate Fate :(

Hereafter, I believe that If you're fated to drown, you may die in a teaspoon of water.

Nice phrase .. but when it happens in real life , is it as nice as this? nah!

I have been jobless these days sitting at home , job hunting all again. sigh! Mom asked me to come over n watch d carnival.. being jobless i didnt find any reasons to deny. The whole place was full of energy , lotta loud, foot tapping music but d usual songs ... which was very annoying.
Can i go ahead n tel them " dnt u ppl hve good collection of songs? mind lending you some good ones? " I knw im irritating at times but it was so frustrating to listen to d **** songs for d infinite time. Now d carnival theme wasnt music, it was all about dressing up n make people turn around n luk at them.

My fav - Then came a couple - "kathakali couple". The guy dressed up in male kathakali costume was tryin to flirt around d girls watching them.. n d person in female kathakali costume tryin to woo d guys. was funny. behind came two pulis in puli kali costume. they were like a ball of fire. I was capturing them dance towards d audience in ma phone. tot cld send to ma cute lil niece. jus to c her giggle lukin at it....

Of course there were few "jayan"s trying to push d jeep, showing muscles... pretty girls dressed up in polka dotted saris, frocks... There was a group of techies dancing to d rang de basanti tune.

Saw some techies travelling in bus towrds the main building , sheesh thy hd to work during carnival too.. only few cld enjoy! An ambulance moving to d main entrance, okie sme techie fainted due to excessive hovering . nothing unusual during a hot day. It was time for me get bck to ma russian salad , (okie so called russian sald wid lotsa , mayonnaise n lil vegs) was gettin late to watch d splitsvilla shw. hey by d way it isnt gr8 show to watch bt tis episode a girl s slapping a guy... cmeon cnt miss it after all its free.

on d way back home , gt dwn in d guest house to wash ma hand, heard ok .. ok.. overheard
" he died" . i was wondering who it is. again d promo of splitsvilla ran thru ma mind. gettin late , atleast i need to knw wy did she slap?

Its nice to see d moonlight falling on water n i like d late night drive over d bridge.
Dad gotta call , he asked "died?". ok i knew its abt d same person i overheard which he s referring to. Dad told us a guy fainted during d carnival n he died due to clot in d head.
How pathetic is that? I later got to knw its same person whom i was covering in ma phone camera who was full of life in d puli kali costume. What kinda fate s tat? Happily dancing in d carnival , nt worryin bat d projects Pending back in d office , nor his family liabilities.
Jus 24 n he s gone! I jus cldnt beleive tat we were happily enjoyin d rest of d carnival while he had fell dwn sme feets away n had passed away.

Already slept before d miles he had to go.....
