Horn! Ok Please!

| MARKETER Horn! OK Please! “Aaja meri gaadi major baith ja Aaja meri gaadi main baith ja Long drive jaayenge full velocity jayenge Kahi rukhenge na hum gaana bajaana khaana peena gaadi primary hoga sanam…pom pom Aaja meri gaadi main baith ja Aaja meri gaadi primary baith ja” Remember this Baba Sehgal’s enjoyable song from the 90’s? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!! Well, if there is likely one of the many issues that I missed throughout my keep within the USA for 6 years, it had to be the ´Grand Auto Drive. It is as much an intrinsic a part of the Indian custom, tradition and ethos as much because the chutki bhar sindhoor, the bindi,the gehne, the sari- salwar-ghagra trio, the latkas, jhatkas and thumkas of Bollywood, the teen maar dance, the street side chaat bandis and ghanna juice stalls, haath se khana, sipping on nariyal pani and shaving off the malai after that…vagera vagera…You know! So, if anybody out there may be planning to pay a visit to India, you know what you have to do. “Be in India as Indians do”. And may I recommend the most effective place to start off on this Indian journey! Yes, all of it begins with the Indian tuk-tuk journey aka the auto rickshaw. Ham sab ke Hero Hiralal! (Haan..haa n! Isi kushi mein thud lassi bhi ho jaaye..haye haye!) The little pleasures in life â€" Of bumpy little Autorickshaw rides and a few charchaa with ricksha wala! Wah wah! Most of my experiences with these frequent legends have been unbelievable. And that’s why I love them a lot. My experiences with them have ranged from gratifying to funny to deep and thought scary to outright disgusting and frustrating. I even have had a few of the most prolific discourses with these common legends ..be it over KCR’s government regime or ruing over our long lost ´sau ´or paanch sau ´ ke notaan (in the Hyderabadi lingo) after the ´notaan ban ´ to some of life ´s lessons on happiness to having a enjoyable quiz on my true roots. On some occasions, I actually have been blessed to have gotten some professional tips on how to treatment my itchy throat by consuming some bajre ki roti hearth cooked on stone. Ahem! Some true raste chaap knowledge! But caution please! While most of them are harmless act ually, some of them could be downright sleazy and annoyingly frustrating. Apart from the haggle of bargaining over the auto fare, very lately I needed to stop the Auto proper in the course of my vacation spot and just get out as quickly as potential. If I wasn’t still reeling from the shock of an unbelievably crude dialog, I must have snapped an image of the auto vehicle no on my phone and send it to the some mahila organisation for emotional atyachaar. Live Zee Horror Show proper there! Bachao! Otherwise, an Auto experience is a ´must do ´experience in India. I wish I could carry alongside some chai along the way. It would add to the enjoyable quotient. But of coure, we're in a frikkin ´auto rickshaw and never an airplane. For now, let that be Modi ´s pleasure ….Chai pe charcha and all! Tsk..tsk! Also, How I wish they still had the old style three wheeled cycle rickshaw. That would have been even better….longer journey plus dialogue is one assured memorable journey whereas g radual crawling by way of the streets of town and sinking my tooth into one piping scorching roasted butta. True gradual tempo life-style like within the purana days. Bliss! Before these Ola and Uber cabs take over the nation and wipe out the Autorickshaws fully from the face of India, I would strongly urge you to take pleasure in this ´soon to be ´ vintage experience despite the minor inconvenience.
