Life has been truly mundane with the same morning walk of 10 mins to catch a rick... Out of 6 whom u ask one would finally agree to take u to ur workplace. Not to forget the bargaining that goes in. As per meter it would be 70 but these buggers will ask 100 and I to stand strong will wait for even 20 mins but will go with a rick guy who goes by meter... Its the same road, same traffic, same set of ppl crossing, same shops that I see everyday. Thought of reading a book while travelling but then that didn't turn out as a good option. Amidst traffic noise I get distracted.. Then the all time support radio. But then within that 1 hour the songs tend to repeat every 2-3 days so sometimes that gets boring too... Well I come in the 20% of data taken into account for radio song listing frequency stuff. Wont blabber too much of my radio knowledge here will start getting too technical ahhaha ok so I was talking about the boredom in travel...
In these journeys to office and back home once in a while cool and chick ricks really make u smile n say sooper.... well the first rick.. complete musical theme.. nice maroon Brown n beige colour theme... damn comfortable seats like those of the theatres- push back is for next gen ricks heheh and then the back rest of the rick guy's seat was in shape of a guitar... WOW I immediately told him channagethiye... saru che in Kannada (I have learnt enough to talk n fight with rick guys thats it) ahhahah I was so damn happy to see something interesting.. maja padi gayi...
The other rick had a nice platform for Idols of God... as in just above the steering (I fail to know the correct terminology for ricks hahaha) ok so he had a nice wooden platform with Shirdi Sai bana idol in the centre with an amazing backdrop of peepal leaf shape/colour creation.. Place for agarbatti and all... Most of the ricks here will have flowers hanging but this was hatke n nice...
The third one had something which everyone knows of lights- I feel totally embarassed to sit in such ricks but... if its late in evening and nobody is ready to take u home then u dont bother much about the rick haahaha. Most of the ricks that I have seen have one light in centre blue colur n they will roam about flaunting their terrible fatela speakers haha... but this one's rick was decorated like a bride.. It was completely illuminated.. different coloured lights all blinking away to glory in perfect sync n pattern. it seemed all of them were playing chuk chuk gadi...
Such chick ricks surely make a difference while travelling (wont get into small or big difference cause its very relative)... Something nice something different and ya something to talk about... I told all the three guys super cool designs... 2 got amused.. probably none must have told them n the other one just simply smiled....
Until next blog keep smiling...
