LIFE BYTES

Five incidents over the last 2 weeks:

1. "BADI MASTANI HAI!!"

I, Pramod , Hemang and Kevin were returning after watching STRAIGHT ! at twelve in the night. A person with hi ek taar got into the coach along with his little girl. He first played "Shirdi wale-" and then some song which I was familiar with. The little girl came across but we shunned her away. Then everbody left as stations came and I was sitting at Borivali station waiting for 50 minute for 1:06 train to come. I started humming this song.... then next one minute tains comes , I step in and the same girl and person were playing the same tune.. : I then remembered why I was humming.. I gave 5 Rs for their performance and felt quiet good about it. People just enjoyed and then call for different songs were made followed by generosity. I went all the way home humming the song.. "Aane se uske aaye bahar jaane se uske jaaye bahar, badi mastani hai...."


2. "Manager"
This is a story which happened 2 feets aways from me. Travelling on Monday morning to Borivali. There was this bank clerk of 45 years and his branch manager 51 years travelling together. The cleark started that these managers are good for nothing. They rarely even move out of their cabin to see our problems. Even though manager get incentive on work, our salary hike are strictly looked at. On these manager started like "tera to fielding lagaana padega". clerk replied " you can always do that, you are the manager".. Manager replies " WE are outside here no one is manager, but if we keep on settling our score over here, noth are going to lose customers..." I was laughing all the way. They knew I was listening...Before getting down, clerk " Saheb Borivali aalaa".. manager " Let go back to work now!! we will have more fun tomorrow".

3. FRUSTATION

I was coming back after content building session at Parag chitale... not knowing the way forward... changed train frm BOrivali when a 7 year old kid came, he was a shoe polisher. He went from one person to another looking for a possible customer. After that he sat in frustation and just as I turned other way and came back to the scene in front. He was all his head down in his hands.. then suddenly a rush came in on the next station and a person was abt to fall in the stampede. That boy gave him a hand and person was saved just short of falling.... The boy started tapping " Ruk jaana nahi tu kahi haar ke....." I smiled and had a sip of water from my bottle... u sometime overestimates ur worries...


4. ELemental

It was thursday evening,After changing train from DADAR; Pramod went to the door in the VIrar local and I bought this 2 Rs Peanuts(Our worth this days at It companies). I ate those peanuts savoring taste till Bandra.. Then just as I was about to through away the paper. I realised it was some text book paper. It was elements of nature Science I standard IV.. in hindi... I read from elements to atoms to particles to Metal and non metals.... "annu, pramaaanu, dhaatu and adhaatu"... in the last sentence it was written " iske kai apvaad bhi hote.." there are exceptions to these classifications... then i took out my newspaper and there were muslims , dalits and sikh division written all over the front page in the poll news... and actual Representatives I felt are "APVAAD" to all these.

5.EVER EXPANDING UNIVERSE..
7:49 BANDRA LOCAL MORNING, FRIDAY

There are maximum of 8 person sitting on the last seat of the first class coach in Bhayander. I thought thats enough and that part of the universe wont be able to accomodate me. The came borivali and one person got down. I thought then there was a chance. But by then those 7 have expanded into the vacuum created. there was no void. Then came goregaon till when i had given hope of sitting and thought rather prudent to move out to get down at Andheri. Then one more got up and got down at Goregaon. This time was it was sure to get sit as min of 7 should sit on that broadf bench. But Einstein won, the universe was ever expanding. Those 6 somehow managed to expand into the space. Then came Andheri just as i picked up to take my bag to get down. All six got up to follow me to get down and I just told them in face, my friends you proved einstein right. I have to prove that black hole exists and you should never get close to those, event horizon might just suck you in.My escape velocity is just enough to get down. You enjoyed the space ride.
