I see....I hear.......Now u gotto say!!

I get into my cab and look out of the window....

A loong distance I have to travel...A loooong way to goo....thanks to the traffic jams in Bangalore I get to watch many interesting things as I go....

I get stuck @ the traffic signals...
I see the people on bikes hurrying and tryin to squeeze through.
I see some teenagers sittin behind their dad's bike with big fat text books in their hands probably trying to mug up some last minute studies.....
I can see a crowded bus filled with ...with....ehh......is it people??....

My cab moves on and zoom across amidst many angry drivers...I spot few senior citizens and I can assume
what they would say -- "Ohh God...what rush...what pollution...is this today's generation?? Did I have to see this dayy?? "

I see some shopkeepers giving a grin or was that a smile as they unlock their shops...welcoming their new day in business .
I see a cow almost on the middle of nowhere yet looks happy and tension free, unaware how it has also contributed quite well to the traffic jam.
Ahh...I see the stray dogs too...all looking fiery like as if they are hunting for prey.....

Soothing music is it or is it someone screaming??...Oh!!! its from the radio in my cab..I concentrate closely and I hear the RJ say -- "Traffic jams...traffic jams...message us where and we will announce it so.." I sometimes wonder how the RJ's would have earned their bread and butter if not for the thankful citizens like us who create the traffic jams and they get us 'entertained' with their contests and gupshups.

I look beyond the crowded streets.....spot a few....very few 'green' trees...and I feel that I hear them screaming and this is what they say -"Lord....gimme water....gimme some oxygen to breathe..." I simply wonder then what should we humans say...!!!

I stop @ many traffic signals....I see that the traffic rules are meant for a minority to obey and some like the cab I travel to generally disobey.

And I give a glance at the school kids who are wondering when they would be able to reach the other side of the road...they look all tensed and worried that their school bell might just go tring tring ..."all thanks to the disobedient drivers"--- I hear them say!!!

Amidst this chaos and confusion..I also spot a couple.....maybe newly married or maybe not ....yet their faces explain and have a different meaning to say -" I hope the meeting hasnt started" or is it "I hope my clients have nothing to say for the proposal I had displayed"

I have almost...say a few more kms to my office.....when I spot the posh shops on the busy MG road exhibiting their beautful new designer wears and collections which attracts my attention and tempts my heart to say --- " Hmmmmm....loong time since I shopped!!...today evening?? what say ?? ;) "

I see this..I see that....I hear this and I hear that.....but I finally reach office and I get out of my cab...trying to look fresh to start a new day....yet a feeling inside me says ---" Half the day looks already over.......let whatever happen outside the gate I really should have no say ...ehhh...hope that today too turns out to be just another good day :) "
