Good Morning AAAfffficerrrr!!! This is the famous dialogue Koundamani(Private Agent) delivers to Senthil (RTO Officer) in the movie "Indian". I used to feel that the RTO Corruption they had shown in the movie was a bit exaturated, but not any more...
Today was the day I had to take the DL test.. The Driving Training School, did not ask me for extra money to bribe the officer..and I didn't want to do it too.. (Had been practising to reverse the car, changing gears quickly etc pretty intensely yesterday). We(other prospective road killers) reached the park (test centre), and our agent asked us to stand in a line.. And all of a sudden he shouted 'Good Morning AAAfffficerrrr!!!' and the worst was he expected us to greet the "Aafficer" too. The AAAffficer asked us to drive the vehicle for mere 300 metres which involved the following activities..
(i) start the car
(ii) Shift the gear to second gear from the first
(iii) Take a left turn, and stop the car.
that's it, my DL Test was completed successfully.. Little did i realize that I had bribed him 6 months ago, when I joined the Driving School itself...
anyways, I have my DL now.. started planning for the weekend trips... at this junction i just need to thank a couple of people who have motivated me get this..
aki, who ensured that i got a LLR last year, and guru along with him for torturing me, every single morning on the fact that my LLR got expired and i showed no interest to get it re-newed nor appearing for the test, and finally chells who ensured that I too bought the car along with him.. :)
i need to thank you guys for increasing my average monthly expense.. anyways, i have started to enjoy my driving, it is no more a burden or an additonal skill rather... this seems to be a good hobby...
another step up.. :)

she....
When I first saw her I was stunned,
when she first spoke to me, I was stumped,
We went for a short ride,
then, she was forever on my side,
all saw only problems in her,
I only saw the potential in her,
unhappy, they still point out issues,
but in love, i treat them as tissues,
when she starts behaving herself, she is poetic,
but when she is heated up, handling her is pretty hectic,
engagement was last week, marriage is next week,
but our honeymoon has started this week,
if you have already seen us, thanks for your wishes,
if you haven't, pray to god, that we don't bump into you..

Tagged - 8 -things about me...
Tagged by Biju..
Biju thanks for making me realize that I don't have any funny habits..
(i) I ensure that I go to the Railway station or/and Bus Stand of each and every city I visit. And If possible have the special food delicacy from the Railway Canteen. - "Curd Rice".
(ii) My sleep posture is either in form of the alphabet "C" or"G". And I generally never remember anything that happens during my sleep. I would have opened my house door, answered phone calls, but if you ask me any of these after I get up, wouldn't remember a single thing..
(iii) I can speak non-stop on anything, when on a highly excited state. (ofcourse , I am speaking about the non-alcoholic state)
(iv) When I am bored, I just board the bus, buy a daily pass and keep travelling..As I have mentioned earlier, I am pretty eager at visiting bus stations.. I would be thinking on various stuffs, but generally it's the same old story of me playing cricket and winning the match by either scoring some 20 odd runs of the last over or by bowling in the death overs, and scalping some 3-4 wickets.. Only the venue and the players I play against would change..
(v) When I am in a nervous state, I just cannot sleep.. Be it a presentation the next day or an university exam or anything... Once the event is over, I can sleep continuosly for 20 - odd hours.. My all time record being, not sleeping for 48 hours before the exam, and sleeping contiuosly for 24 hours after the exam.
(vi) I keep changing the bed spreads. It would always reflect my mood of that hour.. Dull, bright, dirty, extra clean etc..
(vii) I always prefer to have a bath when I feel like, and not on every morning compulsion.
(viii)When irritated with myself or others, I go for long walks till my legs ache, and then I catch the bus or an auto to return back home..
Now tagging the rest, chells , ck , cp'da , dumbo devi , gandhe, k, prof, sudar and tuby
