Ideal Life!

11 03 2008

Many a times, I feel and imagine a world without fear, sense of insecurity, honesty! And trust me, it feels great. I really long for it, however, I do realize its the next to impossible thing that can happen. Anyway’s, life goes on in hope and we shouldn’t stop to dream and hope about a better and happy life. This thought and ultimately the blog comes out of me as a result of an incident I was confronted with.

Ok, let me analyze the situation with likely responses and my ratings. Off-course, I will be speaking on moral grounds ‘coz that’s what I want to exhibit!

Situation: Riding on a bike, you go and hit a car. You realize 50+ % fault is on your side. The damage can’t be currently estimated (may range from a few hundreds to a few thousands!).

Here are my few thoughts on how an owner of a car would have thought about the responses.

Worst Response: Run away from the situation or get back to the owner aggressively trying to push the fault onto his side.

Good Response: Give away your contact number. Get in touch with the owner about the damages and negotiate on the amount you think you should pay. For time being atleast, the owner would feel secured and relaxed about his car.

Better Response: Roughly estimate the damages and pay the owner an amount leading to a win-win situation then and there. The owner would feel secured about the loses and  needn’t worry much.

Best Response: Take the car to a mechanic then and there and settle the damages. This would surely relieve the tension of the owner to a large extent.

And guess what my response was to this situation. Yes, it was a good one. I gave away my contact number, but then never picked a single unknown call the next day! But, ya don’t feel that bad too ‘coz I feel the damage would have been a few hundreds. Still, morals remain morals. I do feel bad about the tension and stress that the owner may have undergone for atleast a day! And when I think of the enormous ‘big’ curses that he might have showered me with, I again get left out with the thought of cleaning myself!

Tough thoughts, tougher actions indeed!





"Aussie Ki Taissie" — What Say?

5 03 2008

Its finally over! The dust has settled. The champions have been defeated on their own home turf. The sledgers have received a mouthful on and off the field. So, here’s a renovated Indian team coming back with the Commonwealth Bank Series Trophy after a dream come true victorious run down under. Congratulations Team India on this memorable win which is sure to please all Indians and haunt the Aussies for some time atleast!

So, at the end of the series, which has seen many controversies involving Ponting, Hayden, Symonds, Hogg and our own Bhajji, I would like to ideally point out what some of the Aussie players would be taking back home! Here are some mementos that the Aussies should get….

Brad Hogg : With his tongue sticking out throughout the series, he gets a unique trophy for display of this behavior!

                    Hogg

Mathew Hayden : Likes to be rough huh! Ok, well atleast if not on the field, let us help him realize his dream by presenting this gift!

                   

Andrew Symonds : Nothing much more that this photo frame to provide nightmares! ;)

               Symonds

Ricky Ponting : Spared from sharp criticisms owing to his mundane looks and talks after accepting defeat…. But, the series would have surely left out this thought in his mind.

” If Cricket is Religion,

Sachin is a big GOD,

Ponting is a sick ~(GOD)! “
