Just joking… cab experiences

I occasionally read some book while coming to office by cab. Ramana would take not more than five minutes to fall asleep when he sits next to me. I would be like, “hey, I am the one reading the book and why should he sleep now?”. Perhaps he tried to read a paragraph. Later I realised the fact that I could sustain just a little longer than he. Yeah, I feel sleepy only after 20 minutes, just when I start reading my mails in the office.

When Amal came, I requested him to take the window seat as I prefer the middle seat. I am a large guy and the middle seat is better. I took about 70% of the space and the poor Amal had to adjust a lot with his laptop bag. The person sitting in the front seat pushed back his seat, slowly, carefully and in steps. OMG, you should see Amal’s predicament. Of course, it his mistake. He and other lean people should eat well so that we can make them all two seats in a row instead of three.

Have you seen Prumasha or Jakran talking over the phone? I always wonder how they could be so expressive. You can find all sort of emotions in their voice in the 15-30 minutes talk. By the way, I know if you had seen me and my teammate talking when we sit next to each other you would have got the same impression. We just talk about everything. Of course, most of you got our earphones “plugged in” :(

It happens… it happens to me ​​When I see a Force Traveller at a distance I pray that to be a company cab and I follow it up with another small prayer that the front seat should be empty. When the cab is little closer and I can see the company logo and an empty seat, I thank god and get ready. Ready? Oh, the driver fails to notice me ​​No company placard. I have learnt the lesson. I should pray even before I start from home and the prayer should be complete.

Stop & Listen

Source: Email forward A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk tur...
