Honest Question !!!

When DS was in 10th std he had a very good Mathematics teacher who taught well and fast. The first six chapters were covered like anything and DS apparently understood them all. After a while, whole class was broken into different batches and distributed to other sections where DS happened to find another Mathematics teacher who was till struggling with second chapter.

This Guru was amazing piece of shit with his methodology. He would write a question on board and start asking questions. Till he gets the right answer he would keep asking the question and keep drubbing poor kid. For a whole long time DS was the saviour. The questioning would end at DS and rest of the kids would be spared. After a while Guru Ji stopped asking DS and things went fine. Chapters were covered and then Guru Ji came to eighth chapter which DS didn't know that how to do. Once day Guru Ji happened to ask DS and was so happy to note that answer was missing. He massaged his arms as his mouth was watering with the prospect of exercising his power over the only remaining kid in group.


But before he could do anything, he was shocked when DS asked him a question. Guru Ji .. Have you taught this before ? Guru Ji said  .. No. Asked DS, then why are you asking me to tell you that how to solve this problem .. isn't that you who is supposed to do that ?

Guru Ji was taken back. At last some one asked the question he dreaded. And then Guru Ji began explaining that how to solve the problem and got stuck in explanations ........something which he hadn't done before.

DS asked many questions and Guru Ji got fully irritated ...

Finally very angrily Guru Ji asked DS, tell me what you have not understood ?

Asked DS : Sir Ji, I have not understood that if you have understood the problem !!!

And just then ..Bell Rang !! The bell probably saved the rewards this honest question deserved apart from the shocks man received at DS's hands.

Height of incompetency !!!

When DS was in 12th standard, there was a new Chemistry teacher who came for teaching nearly almost when academic year was towards the fag end. The very first question "Guru Ji" asked was that how many of great students have already finished the course ? ... Not even a single hand and then Guru Ji revised his question that okay .. how many of us have done it half. Same sad story !!! ... Guru Ji was disappointed but then assured that will start tomorrow ... let we all come back after reading so it becomes a discussion than a teaching.

Next day!!! .. Guru Ji began and discovered in a short time that there is no point in wasting time going about teaching and declared that lets divide the work in following two parts

1. You go ahead and study all the chapters and consult me as per se 
2. I teach you all the practicals and prepare for 25 marks

A proposition no one could deny! As that meant that towards the fag end of year there was no need to go for classes like the beginning of year.

A few weeks passed and Guru Ji called for a special class. He requested everyone to ask him a few questions once in a while before he forgets everything and becomes Junk. Everyone looked around and behaved as if nothing was heard.

One fine day ... Guru Ji told the whole class while lecturing for practical exams that sometimes invigilator asks in the practicals that if you had heated the sample ? .. In case you forget that .. you could easily say that "Sir Ji... we did it in Summer ... it was hot ..we didn't need to heat it". And after that look at me and I will take care of that.

Poor DS, it happened with him in his exam and when he repeated the same answer which Guru Ji had suggested. Invigilator laughed it off .... बेटा 100 degree Celsius is what it needs to do something.

DS looked at the Guru Ji who was somehow trying his best to hide himself in two feet wide chair. 

Worst !! .. DS learnt later that all the exams and questioning was Farce. Whoever gave 300/- bucks got 25 marks and those who gave 200/- got 24. Remaining were all राम भरोसे !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A different message !!

Recently Bunny was part of a presentation where a senior person spoke in depth about the seamless mobility. The picture gentleman had for depicting was something like following :

The moment picture came on the screen, Bunny began laughing and so did the others. Whereas Gentleman meant that two circles when overlap then any roaming element could seamlessly connect to other and disconnect from previous network. The happiness is what third circle right between the two depicted by adding a smiley there.

Bunny took this to extreme sports. Right after the meeting it was found that someone asked Bunny a question privately! .. Bunny responded with following :

Please make this a habit to include everyone and stop bugging me directly! .. You know I'm not available for seem less connectivity and he included above picture in the message !!!

The other side

A Rat grows faster whereas an elephant grows slower. However a rat lives for a year but elephant goes on to score hundred. In a lab scientists with vested interests study the mice and not elephant as the complete life cycle is available at a short span which offers plenty of opportunity to scientists at a fairly low costs.

Its fair and well understood on part of scientist to praise Rats for  being the perfect model.  If Rat could understand the language then perhaps the meaning would all together be in a different dimensions.

DS, observed one similar case where Rat understood the praising words but not the meaning. Rat began believing that it was superior than the rest and challenging all other creatures or undermining them became norm.

There is a famous saying that "Dogs keep barking but elephants just move on". They offer no threat to them and so elephants reluctance to respond to barks is natural. However, if Rat were to squeak and bigger animals continued to refuse to respond, then it can certainly annoy a new supreme creature!

Rat went back to scientist and complained that all other creatures should respect his supremacy !! But how is that even possible for a scientist to explain the meaning. Its well known in engineering that if receiver is kept too close to transmitter than source just keeps transmitting and corrupts the incoming frame. Rat is no different and in absence of anything to transmit it received certain pulses and decoded the meaning with whatever intelligence it had. Now that it understood something and began using the antenna for transmitting, there is no going back and that complicates any inflow of  knowledge.

Anything which this Rat can perceive now is gong to take a whole lot of time. An artificial  problem created just because of ignorance of Scientist to make statements without understanding the complication in advance.

Sparks !!

Bunny and bunny designer was talking to DS. He explained the switch and called it a relay. DS had an obvious question whats the Relay ? ... Bunny of course had answer ready that its the switch. Though DS remembered that relay was a sort of 220 volts switch but switch can be of any voltage. Bunny agreed. The diagram was following :

DS, asked if the lever on bunny's switch is small or big ! Bunny said its big. Good Size does matter, replied DS.  Bunny complemented it further that bigger it is cleaner it is.

Asked DS, after the use as well ? ... Yes, replied Bunny. DS: Hmm ... are you sure of the Carbon deposits on big lever after the use ? .... Why would that be ? asked Bunny.  DS: wouldn't a voltage difference cause the sparks when your big lever meets the pit ? Bunny : Why would there be spark ?

DS: There is always the spark!
Bunny: I don't know ... but why ?
DS: Because there is a potential difference here ... so when big lever meets the pit ... there is a spark!!
Bunny: Oh ya ... you're right ..
DS: So you sure now that after the use the big lever will not be clean .. it will be dirty ?

Bunny : Yes, I understood this well ...
DS : What did you understand ?

Bunny : That with the spark, there will be carbon deposit and hence the lever will be dirty.
DS: You didn't understand a thing ;)

Everyone around burst out in laughter, DS din't know that if that was because they understood the joke or realized that there was one !!!

Physics teacher

Back in school when DS was in 11th standard he took the science subject and then very first day before attending the classes heard from the seniors in the class who couldn't make to the next level last time, a unique name "Chutiam Sulphate". They refused to divulge the meaning or source.

Bell began and then enter a unique character inside the class room. Man oozed of disgust for everyone and was very thoughtful. He began with a thud as his arse settled down and pointed that in todays time anyone and everyone takes science. साला no one tries to understand that if he takes other streams then may do better.

Then he pointed at one person in the crowd and said ... अगर ये साला आर्ट ले ले तो 100 percent चल जायेगा | इधर तो साला fail हो जायेगा | DS realized that his finger pointed to him. Kind and very nice words to begin with.

And then another piece of advice from the great mind ... Bloody all the Science students are dumb!! .. But poor chaps got no option. If a teacher from the Arts streams says anything to the Students then a few of them beat him up. But do that to a Science teacher .. and thats it .... he gets failed in practical ... An obvious warning. He complemented that further. Also if a Science teacher asks for tuition then Students have no option .. they have to take it... otherwise ?  Damn bloody guy fails in practical exams.

And then man began with an assignment and made one guy the monitor. The he taught the lesson and asked everyone to ask questions. When no one asked ... he looked at the monitor and asked him to ask one!!

And then monitor asked one .... and then came the question from great man ..

क्यों बे Chutiam Sulphate तेरे बाप की salary लेता हूँ क्या साले ? चल बैठ जा वहां जाके |

In the end,  DS had at least one clarification.

Antenna ..discovers Logo's origin

Man with lots of attention was curious to listen to friends advices. Friends advised to find a decent partner for him which he was shy enough to put down. The whole burden of loading him with partner's burden now lied on the shoulders of friends.

One day in a meeting came the opportunity knocking on the door of meeting room. Great thing about lady luck smiling usually is that it comes with lots of options and here it was .. smiling right outside the meeting room in number of three.

Friends found this an exciting opportunity and sent the  man with lots of attention to offer more attention. Something something happened.

Later, they asked how did it go ?

Man replied ... One was not good. And other one has that !!

What ? .... Asked one and laughed ... no one understood!! Guess, there was just one with crocked mind there.

Asked man, what ?

Replied one by drawing on board that didn't you mean that ?

Whats that ? was the question man asked!

Replied one by drawing another figure that may be he meant something like that :

No one understood, they asked what and then replied one person ...

She has a playboy ;). Everyone burst out laughing ... that explained the origin of logo as well.

But then came the complication in form of Boss who wanted to know the joke. Having seen the person on board making some drawings he wanted that joke !! ... Complex proposition  ? Not et all ...

Replied the one, ... This man was explaining of designing Antennas in college and when asked that if he knew of butterfly Antenna he was negative.  He says that there is nothing like that !!!

Then asked DS, how about the following antenna ?

And then if you're to design something which is mirror image of that then how would it look ?

And if there is a little leakage then how is it going to appear like ?  Man drew the following picture :

What do you think that antenna type is ?

Everyone began laughing but then  Boss, wanted to know the original joke.

DS explained that man was explaining the Antenna design. He designed the following antena :

And then there were some leakage with the design and how it looked like is following :

And since then ... everyone knows him as the designer of Play Boy antenna and logo.

Able Teacher

When DS was a young chap and was studying in 11th standard there was a Chemistry teacher who found DS totally useless and was obviously extremely vocal of issue.

One day Chemistry teacher asked, DS please tell me answer to following question :

In a village lived a very prudent man and then one day all villagers brought one dead man to him and asked to make that dead man, drink a bowl full of oil.

Question is that how can prudent man make that dead man drink that oil ?

DS, replied in short :

Sir, I'm not that dead yet.

Not liking his answer, Sir asked another question. Okay tell me answer to another one.

He started, When he was in college and next day there was an exam he saw in dream the question paper and sequence of questions. Next day when he went to write the exam the whole sequence was exactly the same as seen in the dream.

So whats the Moral of the story ? .. teacher asked.

DS replied. Sir I think you mean to say that we should stop wasting our time on classes and should begin even day dreaming. Question paper anyway will come in dream ;) ...so why struggle so hard ?

The only sentence after that DS heard in that class was ... Get out !!!

Message encoding

DS while taking a walk out was called in for a sudden meeting. Keeping the timing in mind it was something he couldn't refuse to attend. In he went and was there for a surprise.Everything happed was somehow linked to something which happened before and the encoded message was so explicitly open that it probably had no need for encryption. But pity that someone still believed in it and DS had no other option than to buy it.

 Just a day before, involved in a discussion DS opined about something which a senior arse found offending !! not because that it was offending but because whole exercise from his side was to cut DS out and being in the system DS well aware of  knives around had to protect the interests which technically suited more in DS favor. But it actually resulted in  tunring the knife back in the stabber's direction which arse found offending as pricking of it hurt. Prick was certainly offended ;) Worst part, a man with no control cries his heart out and shouts at everyone and blames for his pain. This Prick was no different. But then something unexpected happened. There was a person sitting neutral to observe DS, who happened to observe this prick this time.

DS realized that person immediately received  a call after the discussions for live updates which appeared more like a curious plan. It was really amazing to see the politics at its best in world of folks who can play it as dirty as the shit ball can contribute. Worst for Prick that it went up with all details and realizing the sensitivity of   issues Prick had to safeguard himself. He went out for the dressing and to heal the wound apologized to world for crying his heart out. But this probably which DS doesn't know had some link with live update client linking linking it to master sniffer. Sensing the corruption Sniffer might have looked more in details and found the pattern wrong. Prick might have been called for the clarification and possible cause. Which Prick attributed to DS's AD-HOC way of bringing forward any technologies without keeping the system aware of protocols and in absence of necessary infra the packets resulted in corruption. The whole system crash was attributed to DS. Sniffer than sniffing the problem attempted to talk to DS for defining the protocol.

The advantage, Sniffer had was the improved informations for it to interrpret that and moreover it could cause no derailment of project.

Interesting part now about this is the message encoding which Sniffer coded and sent to DS for interpretation :

Sniffer suggested that DS should only look at the header part of the protocol and not worry about the other parameters bounding. Moreover in each header only the specific parameters should be added and not the ad hoc informations from anywhere. Advantage of that model would be that it won't derail the project.

DS in short concluded the encrypted message so explicitly suggested that some senior crocked arse has gone ahead and complained that DS is bringing out any ad hoc concept and not working on the stuffs he is supposed to do. This is de railing the project and causing damage.

Constraints

Epic goes  its own ways in many a cultures but when Science began first. Churches began leading the theories and assumption. Churches made Earth the center of solar system and everyone had to follow it.

Galileo failed to understand the weather patterns and eclipse phenomenon with Church theory and arrived upon the fundamentals of  Sun being the center of solar system which explained most of things. Kepler redefined the orbit system to explain the remaining puzzle.

Newton redefined Science and then came Einstein and everyone thought that world was bound by the laws of well defined Science. But then came the Sucker and all the laws went for Toss. Sucker (Black Hole) sucked everything in and science couldn't explain couple of things.  And then came the theory of everything. The ultimate theory .....  String Theory .......

Funny, but isn't world moves by the movement of strings ;) .. Whoever has the more strength pulls the strings and world moves that way !!! ........ It took millions of years for science to discover something which lies so obviously everywhere .........What a pity !!

Principle DON

At some point of time Sincere Man (SM) suggested to go one way which DS somehow was not convinced. Poor DS felt that concept should be modeled on something good. SM thought otherwise, his practicality of going ahead with existing mechanism probably has either just the ego or all his sincere efforts to screw up sincerely!

Ash Kar was the Boss and brilliant genius man. He had option of stealing any idea. Chances of picking good one was higher so he was consulted for his invaluable final howling. He went with DS idea.

DS, went with implementation of project and then came a stage where a Principle Don began scratching his arse out in public. Principle DON was a big man. He was a fighter. He fought for his own existence along with others when his superiors discovered that whole group pretended to work on something which was worth nothing and they could be easily sent to home for doing same ... meaning Nothing.

Now, why he scratched his arse out in public was because of reason that DS chose to go with model which folks who were behind his arse before designed. Folks had disappeared with time but the beating marks on Principle DON's arse never lost the wound and hearing this he of course recollected the wounds and mind demanded scratch. Bloody thing about scratches is the bad manners that people exhibit  in public and Principle DON having got whipped his arse in full public Galore had no hesitation in scratching it there.

When DON asked why DS went with such a ridiculous idea !! DS had no answer. It was probably no good manner to put forward Ash Kar's arse out for beating. Which actually was  too big. DS was doubtful that if DON would have realized that there was an arse up there for beating or he would have just bothered about the vast Martian landscape. Another thing DS bothered was fainting of DON! .. DON came from US and might not have smelt an arse as stinky as Ash Kar's.  In attempt to do him a good, DS kept quite but offered other reasons.

But DON was no less mortal arse himself. He commanded DS to change the model with immediate effect. But DS didn't believe in re-inventing wheel. DON forced him to spell out the reasons for his incompetency to re-invent wheels. Which DS answered by asking DON that if DON could be sent to stone age somehow and asked to save his arse and at the same time invent wheel then how much time he would take ?

DON, of course didn't believe in exposing his arse at first place. He knew that it was ugly even before the wounds and scratches would have damaged it enough to bring it on par with Ash Kar's though on a smaller landscape.

DON was forced to remind everyone that who was DON here !!! ...Ash Kar quickly put one incompetent arse for interaction with DON.  DS on principle created a management overhead by just being honest quest seeker. Its not an easy protocol to always be principled. There are sometimes DONs who hint that why they're Principle DON.

Daqgger Stabbed who ?

Working on a make or mostly a break project given by Ash Kar, DS had to interact with Bitch. Bitch was pretty famous and close to Dagger. Dagger in last project kept everyone stabbing here and there and Bitch helped in bitching about stabbed ones. It was a perfect recipe for disaster but Ash Kar loved them. The good  part of disaster management is lime light which Ash Kar utilized, all, by soaking his arse.

Bitch was sent to US for project quality improvement. The touchy fact about these Quality improvement folks is that, they spray shit and collect the remaining hard ones. Thats prized possession. They'll keep that to heart and bounce up and down everywhere for everyone to see and realize that what they found. All, just by shit spraying. In turn they're rewarded for enhanced quality control. Makes sense !! .. After all once shit is sprayed, it should stay sprayed and not leave any trace behind. The metrics of quality is accurately quantized and thats where Quality improvement folks enjoy calibrating spray.

Bitch, however this time was shell shocked. Each time, she found the hard shit, it disappeared in air even before she could show it to other shit lovers. The ambiance was clean but that doesn't offer an opportunity for bitching.  As usual Bitch decided to sleep off most of the time.

DS, found that out. It was too obvious!! inspite of having a different time zone and at least one hour matching with his, Bitch should have been spotted!!! ... Worst, he mentioned that to Dagger!!

Dagger, next week landed at the same place as Bitch, in US. First greetings they exchanged.

Bitch : Hi
Dagger : .. Hey, I Heard you enjoying your time ... No bitching around ? DS told me.

Stabbing !!  Quite open to debate that more of it was a backstabbing of DS or the direct stabbing on Bitch.

Secret of Ash Kar's brilliance

Ash Kar is a brilliant man. He gets ideas only man in mental asylum can conjure. Unfortunate part about the ideas from this genre is that usually man laugh it off. But Ash Kar was not an ordinary laughing scoff. He believed in drawing attention and his ideas always put him among the self puzzled great thinkers !!!

It was unusual for anyone to not ponder over him for his ability to perceive things in a open darkness and propose stuffs in broad daylight.

DS, Had exposure to numerous such  ideas whichl kept DS awestruck of Ash Kar's brilliance.

DS once was stuck on a challenging propositions which Sincere Man (SM) kept complicating  more with all his sincere efforts. Logical conclusion was to seek Brilliant Mans help. Ash Kar patiently heard the problem and asked a simple question :

Have you already thought of some logic or you want me to think about that ?

Replied poor DS, that I already have thought of one possible solution but I want to hold it from everyone for the time being and give everyone an oppertunity to think about a new one as DS felt that once someone suggests an idea the rest only continue to think about the improvements to that than an another better idea. DS logic was to encourage everyone and find the best possible solution for the problem and not drive meeting in direction his thought process guided.

Ash Kar curiously asked about the solution and promised that he would think about it.

DS setup a discussion committee for problem solution. And then they all met one day.

Ash kar, even before anyone could open the mouth asked .......Whay don't you think about following approach :

And Ash Kar explained the DS idea to gathering. Everyone was impressed, except one.


Conclusion of meeting was to implement Ash Kar's brilliant Idea.

DS  was sure of secret of Ash Kar's brilliance. Ash Kar  is not a brilliant man rather he is genius.

After all, Talent borrows, genius steals. 

Sincere Man (SM)

DS after moving to Ash Kar was provided significant work ! Rather an opportunity to make or break his career. This involved a lots of knowledge which DS didn't have. Ash Kar found one Sincere Man (SM) for ramping DS up. DS was awestruck with the knowledge SM had. On top of that SM name was echoing everywhere and refused to Die down.

Soon enough it became apparent that SM was a great man. He always knew how to talk and impress everyone about any topic even without knowing  about it ;). And then very soon it became apparent to everyone! DS realized that lots of time was going wasted in attempts of meaningful suggestions. This man talked of SKY when EARTH was under the discussion and EARTH when SKY was discussed. On one occasion DS tried his luck with both SKY and EARTH and this great man then talked about HEAVEN. With all the bad deeds around, DS never had HEAVEN in sighting and that confirmed that now  matter lies with DS alone.  SM had helped enough and there was nothing he could do to send DS to HEAVEN.

Eventually DS stopped taking few cycles away from great man. Work moved in faster lane but then SM went ahead and brought this to everyone notice that DS has stopped honoring the great talent and mentoring hand and anything which may turn out would be disastrous. Worst ! All processes have been violated.

Ash Kar advised DS to not dishonor the great man. DS quickly learnt the mistakes and kick started  meaningful discussions for sake of keeping great man SM honored and process justified.

Moreover none of  eventuality  of discussions could ever turn into causality as :

DS had learnt that "Whatever happens in Las Vegas, remains in Vegas".

Dagger

DS when in interview panel came across a dilemma once when a particular candidate did well but was not good enough for the domain. His argument that he wishes to not say someone bad just because domain mismatches turned good for the candidate and so Dagger entered the team managed by Ash Kar.

After having moved to Ash kar team, one day DS got an emergency call from Ash Kar. Seems world had been turned upside down and problem Dagger faced was so complex that even the great and knowledgeable Ash Kar after repeated attempts failed to resolve. They always managed to crack the breast in discussion but brought a new one.  DS terming this as a bad joke on him eventually suggested something which seems like Ash kar projected to understand better and began explaining. DS though had his own doubts but chose to remain quite as stinky surrounding forced him to breath from mouth. Breathing  is very essential for survival.

Next day, work on explanations of Ash Kar brought three new problems and situation was back to square one. This time Dagger approached DS directly and DS began to invest cycles on that. Dagger explained in detail the problem. In absence of Ash Kar surrounding was breathable and fresh insight offered clarity on problem. DS quickly understood the major defect and offered a simple suggestion!

Next day, Ash kar informed all the concerned parties that his suggestions finally has helped resolved the problem. Dagger's partner came and explained to DS the approach they're going to take!!

Dagger became a persistent quest seeker and over the time their developed the talking link with DS who unaware of the double edge, Dagger possessed and the ability to back stab was happy to offer his help.

Ash Kar and DS's first 1:1

First time DS met Ash Kar in his cabin and was surprised to know that by farting long loud and clear Ash kar had gone beyond the normal vertical limits. There stood DS down to earth and the man sitting on seventh cloud was still able to make him close his nose with his stinky farts.

Ash kar reminded DS that sometimes he farts quite and feeble and DS should have the ability to harvest on that. If DS lacks the ability then he could make use of certain tools which Ash kar managed to get developed over the years.

Ash Kar also expressed the depth of knowledge which everyone else lacked in his team. In short DS realized that अरे यार was a novice in the game.  This man was so happy to have another बकरा in his team that pleasure was dripping everywhere from his face much like the Hyena's Pees with a difference that it didn't smell that disgusting but sounded funny. May be sitting on seventh cloud, Ash Kar developed the ability to disperse the smell somewhere else.  Ash Kar also suggested DS to not repeat the sinusoidal pattern for his performance which अरे यार provided as a feedback. The biggest complaint अरे यार had was that DS didn't work to his potential, but still was able to match the potential of others by virtually doing nothing. अरे यार couldn't even initiate an action in relative yardstick and was lucky to retaliate by providing this invaluable information to Ash kar.

The notable point of discussion DS had was the elaborate mention of Dagger and her exloits. Dagger was an excellent and efficient tool, unaware of the potential she had. Ash kar had all the plans in the world to help her bring out the best and needed DS help in that.

Movement

DS worked on a project for अरे यार which probably everyone else refused to work. A person from Blue freak's team also worked on the same project. Team was a perfect example that why virtual teams don't work. Hyena was managing from quality improvement side and it was quite natural for him to mark each vertical object with his scent. DS having bitten once was quite shy and other guy inadvertently happened to offer his position for his territory marking.    Disgusting environment remained there but somehow Dog fight eluded everyone.

Then arrived post project analysis and member of Blue freak's team got the whip. Poor man casted his suspicion on anyone and everyone. Mostly on DS as he specialized in being an idiotically frank. Not withstanding the irony, one day eventually poor man asked DS and with discussion it was obvious that how Hyena this time lifted his leg. Smartly not only Hyena peed but also covered the area with filth so stench emanating from his pee remained hidden.

अरे यार's total denial to provide any kind of support was enough to piss of DS who eventually went to New Castle and showed displeasure on being farting on same  diet for so long. There was a change required. New Castle had very few opportunities and  Ash kar was looking for one बकरा. Castle was kind enough to talk to Ash kar in couple of minutes and so to अरे यार. Withing five minutes came Ash kar running to DS with options. DS was livid with them and then later अरे यार came running as well showing his great skills that how well he expertized in farting. 

DS moved to new team within a day !!! A progress, he never imagined in his dream with these set of ridiculous Jokers.

Culture

Being born in India, DS was very proud of being Indian. The culture and rituals this country adores are unmatched anywhere, Thats what DS heard from childhood. India also proposing itself as one of the superpower  and all Indians take pride in that. DS was no different. 

Unfortunately, One day DS got a ticket to US. Right at the immigration desk for very first time DS found two great Indians who for some reason assumed that DS was some criminal and should have been stopped from flying. In lack of any supporting evidence, DS eventually was allowed to go. DS took that as a pride of great security this country boasts off. Things went great !! ... but then DS landed in US. Situation was so different, Suddenly there was lots of space for people to move, support for handicapped people and no stinking corner. Cleanness like DS had never seen before at public place. Crossing the corridor when DS reached immigration office, found himself stunned. There were as many counters there as number of security personal in whole of his country's finest airport. The efficiency and politeness only complemented the cleanness DS observed before. The whole process went like a dream. Existing from Airport, DS was quite puzzled as there're no cabbies trying to pull his luggage or aggressive negotiation and jostling. There was no hint of any of them but yes, some signs pointing to Bus and Taxi. 

DS followed the Taxi signs and was confused that which one to chose. But that was easy, the first one in the queue was ready and second one never pounced on him that why he was taking DS to a place!! ... Coming out of airport, DS realized that Taxi was cruising at 70 mph, a speed seen only in Bollywood movies when either a villain drives crazy or hero when heroin is going to jump over the cliffe !! DS was thrilled, there were so many cars following lane discipline and no one was blocking another one and taking pride in that. There was cars like BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, Mustang and Audi.  Quering about the price, DS got further shock that a BMW 3 series in US cost what a Toyota Corolla costs in India. But then India is a great country and emerging Superpower.  So considering Car a luxury Item makes full sense.

 

Eventually DS reached the stop and was surprised that when Taxi guy didn't ask for the extra money for luggage and honored the meter.  

Next day, in absence of a car DS decided to take a walk and got confused at one place when he had to cross the road and he suddenly stopped for a car. Car didn't make any attempt to run him over and waited there, It was later learnt that pedestrian  have the right of way in that country and car had to stop. A rule DS found hard to digest as in his country its difficult to cross the road even on pedestrian signal with a traffic cop around busy collecting some pocket money. 

DS somehow found a store to buy stuffs, on the way, not even a single public road was used for doing the bussiness, footpaths were clean and clear. No hawkers on road blocking any of them or any motorists trying to drive on the footpath. Stores provided parking and rules were respected. On buying a .99$ worth of item, DS received a cent back with a bill !! ... something which would never happen in his country. But still DS thought this was foreign, His country still the best. It has the culture and rituals and he is very proud of them. 

Next day, DS found people on road who he didn't know. They all wished DS and seemed so nice and kind. A school Bus then came and stopped on the road and a Red light flashed STOP and traffic stopped on both sides of the road. Something unbelievable !! People who DS met were so nice and never spoke anything sarcastically on personal level. Kids got the best ever treatment and care possible. 

And then one day .......... DS returned to India.

Just out of the airport, the famous sighting of fighting cabbies. 15 kmph speed and locus formation traffic. 20 places road rage and at least 30 times spitting on road by driver. Pothole road, no signs and regards for rules.

At home

Extra for luggage.  Some envious people around who disliked his visit to US and cursed the money he might have made. Cursing aunties for girls having run away from families, drunk people fighting on road,  communal riots and area curfew, no water and electricity. Scams and scams exposure but no action.

Signs were all out and clear. Is this the price we pay for our culture and rituals ? Or is it something we need to be proud off ? Our culture which promotes communal riots , untouchable society, caste system, no respect for physically and mentally challenged fellow human beings. No respect for cleanness and no regards for rules. Considering Women of lowly stature and stealing away their privileges, killing girl child and building no infra for the generations to grow and play and learn. Is it really something to be proud off ?
