Of Long Drives and Camel Rides.......


You're trying hard to sit still but you can feel your insides moving from side to side, back & forth, while you try to steel yourself n keep reciting lines from the bible/bhagwat gita/qoran/guru granth sahib/etc hoping you're alive by the time you reach your destination.By the time the ride ends and u alight from your means of transportation, you are certain thatyour internal organs have been re-arranged giving you that queasy feeling.Camel ride anyone? Just in case you're not anywhere in Rajasthan or nowhere near a camel inhabited zone, have no fear! Our dear ol Pune has everything you need!Just get your car(or bike or cycle or rickshaw) n cruise (???) around our marvellous city on the even more marvellous and smooth roads(???) and i assure you that the drive/ride will definitely remind you of an excellent butt breaking cruise on the ship of the desert.Whoever it was at OPEL who came up with the slogan "Life is a journey; Enjoy the drive" has obviously never had his neck on the line on Pune's roads.I'm stopping this article here for fear that in case i do continue and use the correct adjectives for the concerned officials, I may land up in legal trouble (Not really..I'm just feeling so darned lazy...Also, I'm stopping coz i'm a lil fed up of the mediocre nature of this post..writer's block you know.. )

And yes,kabhi alvida na kehna..(which gives me one more kick in the hindmost to watch this one!)

hey boy,would like to watch it with me?the 'simultaneous' plan that is..m waiting for it to materialze..
