Traffic Traumas

I generally try not to get upset by trifles, but there is one thing that pisses me off no end, that is indiscipline on the road. I take this very personally, I drive daily and every day one or more incidents of indiscipline or reckless driving drives me over the edge. Chaos and lawlessness are the hallmarks of driving in India, but pause for a moment next time you encounter a traffic jam, more often than not the cause of this jam would be bad driving or law breakers who have used their stupidity to cause great discomfort to everyone around. Is it not obvious that the traffic rules were not framed to humour the law makers but were made to facilitate order, progress and safety of everyone.

My first post and a new job

Hey I have started a new phase in my career, actually I joined my new employer ABN Amro Bank NV (must find out what that nv means) on sep 13th. It is so boring as i'm absolutely jobless, but since my predecessor had done a good job, we are doing very good numbers this month. Heard my old company is doing pathetic this month. It is so much fun to be engaged!!!! But it sucks to still do things on the sly as still both parents are yet to fully reconcile with the fact that mine is a love marriage. Actually my love story can be made into a good masala movie but that would deserve a seperate posting, I'm sure I will post it one day soon. So this is my first blog and I'm still learning the ropes, I will post more soon. Ciao,
