OLA CAB




10:35am, today morning, Chandhigarh station. I have booked OLA CAB, called driver, 

Me:- Hello ! 
Driver:- Good morning Sir ! Thanks for booking Ola. Where are you ? 
Me:- Good morning ! I am standing in front of Chandhigarh  Railway station. 
Driver:- Okay. I will be there in five minutes. 

I was surprised by the response of the driver. The ascent was really good and seemed to be very educated one. And when cab arrived and I saw the driver, I was more surprised. He was wearing really good branded formals. Good personality. And a positive smile on his face. I got in the cab and shook his hand. 
Me:- Hello ! 
Driver:- Hello ! Nice to see you Sir. 
I smiled back. 
Driver:- Where do you want to go sir ? 
I gave him the address. And asked him. 
Do you drive cab as a part time Job or its your Own Cab ? 
He smiled and said..
Driver:- Sir, its mine. Today my driver is on leave. So I am driving it because mine is also off. 
Me:- Ohh ! Okay. I thought so. Because you are really good. And I thought, are all Ola drivers are same in chandhigarh or my luck is that good. 
Driver:- Laughed and said its my good luck that I just started my day with you. 
Me:- Smiled. What do you do ? 
Driver:- I am Mechanical Engineer. Working in Mahindra Swaraj.  Do you know the company ? 
Me:- Yes, they make Tractors. 
Driver:- Yes Sir. What do you do Sir ? 
Me:- I am also engineer but I don't have the degree. 
Driver:- Means ? 
Me:- I do repair all types of cameras and lenses, and I am doing it from past 20 years so I am an Engineer by experience so  I don't  have the degree. 
We both laughed. 
Driver:- you don't look like that old. 
Me:- Smiled. Yeah. I don't look like that old and I have started working at the age of 13. 
Driver:- Ohh! That's great Sir. 
Me:- Brother don't call me Sir please. Main aapke age group KA he hoon.
Driver:- I am just 24. 
Me:- Took a long breath. I am just 34. 
We Both laughed and my destination had arrived. So I did alight there. Paid him. Shook his hand. Exchanged business cards. 
What a pleasant experience I had . Just made my day. Just suppose if we have that kind of experience daily in cabs. I am not saying for engineer drivers. But if a driver behave like a descent one. Than it would be really good.

""WAITING""



AAJ Phir Barasat hui to MERA man bechain Ho pada. Mere man mein unko dekhne Ki tadap fir SE lag gayi. Main Bahut Rok RAHA tha apne aap Ko par, HAR thodi der baad MERA man reh-reh kar uske khyalo mein kho RAHA tha. Aur Shaam dhalte he mere Ghar Ki Taraf utthte hue Kadam, Uska didaar Karne k liye mudd Gaye.
Baarish Ki bundo SE bachta hua main uske Ghar k Saamne pahuch Gaya. Waha Ek purana Bahut Ghana neem KA ped tha. HAR Baarish mein yeh ped he MERA saya Banta tha. AAJ Bhi uske Kamre mein Roshni Nahi thi, mere Ko laga, pichhle Ek saal SE jo intezaar kar RAHA tha WOH AAJ Bhi Rahega. Par Shayad mere Khuda Ko Kuchh Aur he manjoor tha. Abhi 15-20 minute he beete the intezaar k, k unke Kamre Ki light jal Padi. MERA dil Bahut tez dhadakne laga. Aisa lag RAHA tha k bus abhi kayamat AA jayegi, unka khoobsurat chehra Meri aankhon mein Tairne laga. Bus man he man bhagwaan SE Dua kar RAHA tha k unke Kamre Ki Khidki khul JAYE Aur  unka didaar Ho jaye. Mujhe umeed Issliye thi kyonki unhe Bhi Baarish Ki HAR boond SE PYAR tha. Thodi der mein he Khidki khulne Ki awaaj hui Aur MERA man train Ki raftaar SE dhodne laga, Meri aankhen
tak-taki Lagaye bus Khidki khulne KA intezaar kar Rahi thi. Jaise he Khidki KA palla khula Mujhe laga main Kahi deedaar-e-Sanam SE mar he Na jau. 
Khidki Ki jaali SE unki lehrati hui julfe bahar AA Rahi thi. Aur jaise he boondo Ko chhune k liye unki hatheli thoda bahar Aayi, main Bhi apne saaye Ki aut SE bahar nikal aaya. Thoda SA Aur aage Ki Taraf Ho kar k main jab unki Khidki k Bilkul Saamne hua to bus unki hatheli he bahar thi, unhone apna Chehra mod rakha tha. Main apne Ko Bahut Roka par mere kaanpte hue hothon SE unka naam nikal HE Gaya. 
Aur bus Baarish Ki iss tez awaaj mein jaise woh Bhi Issi intezaar main baithi thi. Woh Ek dam SE Palti, Aur jaise WAQT tham Gaya. 
Na to Baarish Ki awaaj, Na kisi k aane KA Dar, Na bheegne KA pata tha, Na Pitne KA Dar. 
Kuchh tha to bus unka masooom chehra jo hamesha KHUSH rehta tha AAJ udaas tha. Woh Gehri Jheel SE aakhe jo hamesha Chanchal rehti thi AAJ kisi sukhe hue Talaab Ki Taraf khamosh thi. 
Unke woh larajte hue hoth jo hamesha khilkhilate rehte the, AAJ kisi KAPDE Ki silayi Ki Tarah sile hue the. 
MERA man hua k main chilla kar puchhu kya Ho Gaya tujhe AE MERI ZINDAGI ? par unki gairat Ko uchhalna Nahi chahta tha. 
Aur jaise he Meri Aur unki najre mili, Ek pal k liye to Aisa laga k Sab theek ho Gaya hai par unhone Ek dum Khidki band kar di. 
Main SOCH Bhi Nahi paya k yeh kya hua, Aur main abhi SOCH he RAHA tha k unki gallery KA darwaja khulta hua najar aaya Aur Meri saasien rukti hui. 
Pehle to unki CHHOTI behen bahar Aayi usne Mujhe dekha Aur Waha SE Jane KA Ishara kiya. Maine Bhi haath jod kar unko dekhne Ki guzarish Ki. Thodi der tak Meri guzarish KA silsala chalta RAHA. Aur woh Shayad maan gayi. MERA dil ab Bahut tez dhadakne laga k ab woh qayamat ki raat itne intezaar k baad aa gayi. 
Pehle unke chehra KA didaar hua Aur uske baad woh jab bahar Aayi to unhone baisakhiyon KA Sahara le rakha tha. 
Main bus Sara Maajra samajh Gaya. 
Aur jaise he Sab samajh mein aaya main apne ghutne k bal zameen par baith Gaya Aur Meri aakhon se pani KA sailaab beh uttha. Yahi haal unka Bhi tha. Woh Bhi apni gallery mein Khadi ro Rahi thi. 
Thodi der aise he baith ne k baat Maine Faisla kiya Aur unke Ghar Ki Taraf bad kar unke Ghar Ki bell Baja di. 
Aur fir agle 6 mahine unko Aur unke gharwalo Ko manane mein laga diye. 
AAJ humari SHAADI Ko 5 saal Ho Gaye hai. Do khoobsurat pari Ki Tarah ladkiya hai. Aur Meri zindagi KA chehra, aakhen, Aur  lab Pehle Ki Tarah chehkne Aur muskarane lag Gaye hai.

""You wouldn't understand""


Today due to one meeting in morning at moolchand metro station, I left home early then routine time. As I got free from my meeting, I look at my wristwatch and I found that I still have 30minutes to wait outside My institute (Japan foundation), so I thought of waiting in CCD, which is situated in outer premises of metro station. As I walked towards it, I saw one girl, sitting near pillar of metro on pedestrian , lying down her head on her knees. As I crossed her, I heard weeping, so I did stop for a moment, looked at her, she was well dressed and seemed like educated and belonged to good family. I wanted to ask why ? But couldn't got the strength to ask her at first. So I walked 5-6steps but couldn't walk further. Turned back to her, sat beside her, took out tetra pack of my coconut water from bag, and asked her, 
Would you like to drink water ? 
She didn't give a single nod to my question. So I took out my handkerchief and again asked her.
Would you like to drink water my sister ? 
A silence were there for a minute. 
And then I could heard her sobbing. 
She took out her head from her knees and look at me. I offered her coconut water and my handkerchief. She saw me with very strange teary eyes and for the first time I couldn't get the idea what was that ? But she took both from my hands. She Wiped her face drank the water. And as I saw her than, it was like clouds removed themselves out of SUN. She was beautiful,innocent,cute but she was just a TEENAGER. 

She said thanks, I said its okay. 
Kuchh Khana hai ? 
She said no,it's okay. 
I said okay let's go to CCD and have some coffee. 
She saw me again very strangely and again I didn't get the idea. Although I started walking towards CCD, and looked back that was she following me or not, she was. 
We sat there I have ordered my favourite "devils own" for myself and she ordered some "frappe". I wanted to ask her lot of things but couldn't ask. We sat there in silence, but our eyes were talking. Lots of question but still they are just question, didn't have the answer than, don't have the answer yet. Its a generation gap when her eyes said ""AAP NAHI SAMAJH PAOGE.""
And I couldn't tell those eyes that I had the same . We had our coffees and then we walked out. 
I said Take care, and her eyes again were full of tears but they were of strength I think . She said Thanks for everything. And we part our ways.
