Cabs - The Menace!!

In the quest to become the next IT hub, Chennai is slowly becoming a nightmare for motorists. Already the destination for Engineering education, the city’s roads are scorched by these colourful buses screaming their horns away trying to reach their destination well in time. Thankfully these college busses operate only during the early mornings i.e. well before the 8 to 8.30 a.m. and anywhere between 4 to 5.30 p.m. in the evening and then they are quite for the day

However, the IT and its allied service companies namely the BPO’s have the concept of flexible work timings thereby running pick up and drop services at various times of the day. All pick up and drops are through these Tata Sumo/Toyota Qualis, but the maximum drops are done through these Tata Indica’s

These drivers are the worst of the lot. Absolutely rash to the core and sometimes smashed. We had one almost ramming into us near the Tidal Park a year back and I had one almost hitting me when trying to overtake me on the Velacherry High Road. The most intriguing part of all this is that these taxis carry sticker at the back with a smiley which says tell me how am I driving. Some nerve huh!!!

Wish the Chennai Traffic Police could do a check on these cabs since most of these cabs are from travels leased out to the companies and they look quite dilapidated. Don’t know when they will fall apart!!!

Moving On!!!

I have finally decided to move on…. It has taken some time and I must say quite a task to accomplish especially after putting my heart and soul into the whole affair, but I guess it was the best thing to do for the both of us and somebody had to do it and as usual it had to be me…. Am gathering some kind of a first mover’s advantage here…

I have always felt and openly admitted that honesty and transparency in a relationship is of utmost importance in building and strengthening the trust between two people, nurturing it all the way long. No trust, no love, period!!

I am not denying the fact that there may be issues of the past one may not want to divulge simply because it’s a thing of the past and has nothing to do with one’s future, but what about those pasts that come to haunt the present and the future…. Pasts that questions the whole fundamental of the relation, pasts that are well equipped to destroy the lives of two people if it doesn’t come to light well in time

Why should either of the two be punished for mistakes committed by their partners in the past… not fair, not fair at all!!

A fellow blogger in her blog had once written, If you don't tell anyone, you can pretend it never happened, but as soon as you tell, it becomes a reality, and you have to face it and that is exactly what has happened. Now that it is out, its time to face the music!!!!

Like I said have decided to move on and I am conciously taking every step I can in that very direction….and I reiterate No trust no love, that’s the bottomline!!!!

Life is not as it seems to be ....

Life is not as it seems to be – beautiful!! Wondering what’s got into me, really don’t know

Questioning the things that is happening around me, wondering if it’s the right things that is happening or not, do I deserve such a thing or not…. am not getting answers though

Wanting to question the very existence of the almighty, but neither do I have the courage nor have I lost the faith

Life is not as it seems to be – beautiful!!

Tired of Being Sorry

I don't know why
You want to follow me tonight
When in the rest of the world
With you whom I've crossed and I've quarreled
Let's me down so
For a thousand reasons that I know
To share forever the unrest
With all the demons I possess
Beneath the silver moon

Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry

8th and Ocean Drive
With all the vampires and their brides
We're all bloodless and blind
And longing for a life
Beyond the silver moon

Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry
I'm standing in the street

Crying out for you
No one sees me
But the silver moon

So far away – so outer space
I've trashed myself – I've lost my way
I've got to get to you got to get to you

Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry
I'm standing in the street yeah
Crying out for you
No one sees me
But the silver moon
(yeah yeah yeah till end)
Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry
I'm standing in the street
Crying out for you
No one sees me
But the silver moon

4 long years...

It’s been 4 long years and we have finally parted ways, not because we couldn’t see eye to eye but more so because I had fallen in love with someone else that I had to let her go

The four years that we spent with each other has been very fruitful and beautiful. It was love at first sight. The first time I saw her made my heart flutter. We have always been there for each other, riding the winds during both happy and sad times. Even during adverse times, she has never let me down. She was one lucky charm for me over these years

Still I had to let her go for more reasons than one, like I said I had fallen in love with someone else. There are no comparisons, but I had to take a decision to let go. The day her new owner rode her away, there was a tinge of sadness in me, but then I cast my eyes on the my lady love standing in my garage and I smiled, may be that was the best thing which has happened to me, my heart fluttered again like it four years back
