my ride in a jeep

the title sounds like a story for tots doesnt it?

i was returning from office, late relatively to the time i usually bid it farewell.

my transportation is either the bus or the jeep.

i see a jeep flashing its lights towards me and to my luck it takes me almost where i want to go. now this is a traditional jeep, so i had some expectations, owing to the omnipresence of bollywood.

yup jeeps have a long relationship with bollywood. it was the modus operandi of hooligans and the heroes to kidnap and woo the heroines respectively. and who could ever forget the cop chases? cops with their guns, performing gymnastics on their jeeps and evading the barrage of bullets from the fleeing villian and his accomplices.

i was excited that way and luckily it was empty and so i got to sit right beside the panels and the ever so famous steering wheel (of the jeep).

i began to search for all those things that was shown in a bollywood picture. sadly it happens only in the movies.

the ever so beserk needle of the KDO meter lay dead and showed no intentions of moving regardless of the speed of the jeep.

there was this "amps" panel which used to dance from + to - whenever the lights were flashed, other than that pretty much everything lay still. some werent even illuminated!

since jeeps dont have doors, i atleast could enjoy leaning out a bit the way those coppers used to and its barrels of fun. but one should be careful.

probably it was not the best of the jeeps to experience those bollywood delights, maybe someother time.

until we meet

good bye
