Licence story..........

As per my understanding Every person should have 2 licences I mean 2 vehicle licence.
1. 2 wheeler
2. 4 wheeler
First I will tell how much I struggled to get 4 wheeler licence.
My 4 wheeler licence story started long back when I was in 3rd year (2003) engineering vacation. To spend time in vacation is little boring, so my friend told that he is going to join CAR training and he will get the licence. I also thought, its nice idea to spend time in some useful way. So I told him, I will also join and will give company. Fees was 1700 i think, I gave 500 initially. Anyway classes started, the trainer was very strict , he is beating if we dont drive correctly. In one hour 3 members, me, myfriend and one aunty. My friend was driving better than me as he used to practise using his uncle's car. Aunty had car in the home so no pbm to her also, But me.. I also had uncle who is having car but I dint go and practice. After some time , i felt its boring.. the class was not so interesting .. u know what I mean. There were some good gals in some other time. I asked trainer, can I change the time? But he refused to give some other time. After 7-8 classes, the college started , I felt to discontinue it as I paid only 500rs. Few days afterwards, I saw that Aunty was driving alone in her own car. luckily she dint see me....

After 4 years in 2007, I felt again to get 4 wheeler licence(There is some personal reason) , so after asking so many people , I joined CAR taining near my home. The time is biggest problem as my office cab comes around 7 am. So I told the owner i will come at 6 am. I know that 6 am means, the class will start at 6.15 and finishes at 6:45 . so i can catch 7 am bus. oh god,, For this I need to getup at 5.30 am and finish my bath and get ready. With lot of difficulty I used to reach at 6.05 am. Daily I used to wait for trainer and hurriedly catch the bus. At last I finished the class, and took the LLR. Trainer told come after 1 month to get the DL. I was sure that, 1 month means I will forget everything again, but he told to take extra class. I said ok.

After 1 month , I took 2 extra class, but I was not comfortable in reverse gear. I told him that still i am not comfortable. he told come early on that judgement day and practice before going. But that moning I dint find any time for practice as everybody was busy. There were other 3 guys with me, so 4 different character people.I dont remember the names of them, but first was very reserved, second was talking too much as if he is F1 driver, and third one from village.

We reached the test place, and we 4 sat along with inspector. First guy drove very nicely, he cleared test. second was our villager, he was in total tension. He tried to start the car, the car only dint start, after lot of struggle , the car started. Tht time only we thought he will fail in the test. He dint change the gear correctly and dint show the sign. Inspector scolded him. I was sitting silently, coz i know, i will be the next to get the words. In between our F1 driver was guiding him drive like this , like that. Now its my turn, I took out my shoes and started car, I was driving well man, but the problem came with reverse gear. I knew that I will fail in this. It was left reverse. Inpector told to take reverse, I put the gear back and after 2 mins of struggle, inpector told, go and see where u have parked. It was on the footpath. I also thought , I will also fail. The last one is our F1 driver. His task was take out the car, where I parked. He started car, but he started stuggling in first gear itslelf, For his bad luck, some bike was standng behind our car. He ws taking reverse, but could not able to do so. He told the inspector that bike is der, but when inspector saw, there was no bike. Inspector scolded him saying that you are talking so much sittng behind, wat happend now? His test was also bad. Our car traning owner told come t 7pm to come to know the result.

I went at 7pm, except the first , we 3 were there. Owner told we all 3 failed, after that what? I could not stop laughing, coz what ever I thought in the morning, it happened in the same way. We all 3 were laughing. But after some time realised, what man,, could not clear the car drivng test. Felt little bit bad and training owner told come again after 4 days. I thought any how, its just car na, can pass in the next time. so that night I went to friend's house for the party.

After 4 days, again I went, I dint find other 2 guys. This time the inspector was not sitting in the car, so instead of me, my owner only drove the car :) Then what.. I passed in the test. :)

About 2 wheeler licence, there is some other things to tell.. will tell some other time.

At last reached office....

I dont remeber the exact day, but I do remeber the incident of that day coz that is unforettable experience!

It was cold morning, I managed to getup at 6:15 am after 4 times of Alarm. Any how got up and started brushing. Generally I used to watch CNBC channel for the time, what ever I spend for brushing. Because I need to know, how the US market(DOVV jones) has done that night so I can make strategy for today for our NSE. That day , I saw 5 mins more as crude price was going high that day. (If you are not share market investor , then you will not understand, its only for market experts :) ). Then saw the time its, 6:40. I had almost sure , that day I will miss the morning suttle. But I tried my best, took bath and got ready. The idiot clock was showing 7.00
AM. Mom had told to have breakfast, but no time man!! I need to run!! I started running. I called my cab mate, but that guy was sleeping, after 3 rings he recieved the call and told he is not coming. after 2 mins continues run , when I was crossing the road, I saw the office cab was going infront of me. I took rest for 2 mins, then was thinking to go in bmtc bus. But for that I needed to change the 3 buses. I said to myself 'NO WAY' !! I slowly started to go back home.

After coming home, dad started giving mantra about how lazy I am etc and etc. No problem.. Breakfast was waiting for me , so I dint want to disappointment bisi(hot) bisi dosa. So had breakfast around 7:45am. My mind was thinking 'still 2 1/2 hours is there to catch next office shuttle'. so wat to do? Lets have nap. Nap became sleep. When I got up , the time was 9:50Am. Suddenly got up, washed face again started running. The problem is, to catch late morning shuttle, I need to go to different stop by BMTC bus. Anyhow I got bus, took ticket but bus driver was missing. After 4-5 min he came, started bus. I was in tension that whether I will get the office bus or not.. If I miss this shuttle also then wat to do? so much confusion and tension. I dint want to see the time in my watch, dont know why!! any how got down from the bus, saw the time it was 10.20 am. Again running because from bmtc bus stop to shuttle stop, its 3 mins walk. But my running dint give fruitful result. Nobody was there in the stop. I called my friend, he told its already left and he was laughing as if he had achieved something great. But thats true, getting bus is also achievement.

Then I made my mind that anyhow I want to reach office today, so I was waiting for bmtc bus. For my good fortune, Volvo bus came, I was so happy that atleast I got volvo, so that I can go aaram se in AC. It was standing near signal, I ran and got into it.I was feeling so proud about my self, that instead of going in normal bus , I got volvo. But... the situation got reversed.Bus conductor came and asked for ticket, with style I told my stop name, he told 50 rs. I put hand on my pocket but.. not to worry , I had purse.. took out my purse, and saw.. again not to worry, I had money but the problem is that I found that money is not sufficient for ticket. I had only 20 rs. god.......... that time 'mera haalat' dont ask.
I told conductor: 'GURU' 20 rs ede aste ( ihav only 20 rs), conductor started seeing me in some diffrent look now. Suddenly I gave him my debit card and told him to take from my card. He told , he is not having anything to swipe. I told him wat is this saar, in volvo u dont take card-a? He told I wll give ticket for 20 rs and get down near any atm. I said, no need I will get down to next stop. All passengers were seing me. nothing can be done man!! I got down to next stop. Conductor was also laughing.

I was waitng for normal BMTC bus, i calculated how much I need to reach office, 20 rs is sufficeint man! To go to office , I need to change 2 buses, one upto Marathahalli and from there one more to whitefield. Marathahalli bus came, seats were there, I managed to get window seat. Now 10.45 am, Bus started moving to marathahalli, there was lot of traffic jam. I thought it will take minimum 1 hour to reach Marathahalli, so I wanted to utilize this time, so was listening to walkman, and thought to read news paper. But I dont know, when I surrendered myself to sleep. I was sleeping again dude.. when I got up, the time was showing 12.05 am. then suddenly saw which stop I am. But I took some time to realize that I already crossed Marathahalli. Seriosly this is worst condition. I asked conductor , where this bus is going? He told Hebbal, then I got down near KR puram. Now how to reach office?? I had only 10rs in my purse. I started walking towards whitefield, my office is aroun 8 km from there. I dint want to waste my money for auto. But no choice.. I thought to go in Auto so that I can withdraw money if I find any ATM, But No auto was there, The time was 12:25Am. I walked upto 1km and found auto, and told him to stop near any ATM. After that I withdraw money from ATM and auto started heading towards office.time is 12:45 am, ATLAST I REACHED OFFICE and applied half day leave :(.

After this situation, from next time, I should not miss morning shuttle, if in case , I miss first shuttle , I will reach before time to catch second shuttle. In the worst case, If i miss second shuttle also??????????????? nothing.... Apply for leave and go home and sleep.. hahahahahah

My First Blog Post

Frankly speaking this is my second blog. The first one I created long back dated Wednesday, March 01, 2006 http://sushantbm.blogspot.com/ , Please dont visit , nothing is there. That time I was working in Fidelity Company on dotnet technology. So my description in that blog is 'Hi, I am .net guy, want to achieve something unique in life' . OOPS too much.. Its so funny that, I never posted a single post there. Because I stopped working in dotnet after creating that blog. So now I am not .net guy so there is nothing to achieve uniquely in dotnet.
As I have written in the desciption of this blog, this blog is just for, not to forget the things which ever I face in the normal life. From last one year, I was thinking to create blog. I think much , but do little . As it can be used as digital diary. I am writing this blog in office :) . I dont have internet connection in home, but I have already applied, yet to get connection. (First time I already got cheated in getting internet connection) Hey dont think that I am using office time, I am writing after office hours.
I dint have habit of neither reading nor writing blogs. When ever I had seen people writing the big blog , I used to think that this guy dont have work and one who reads it also of the same category. But now I realised this blog concept is good one to share your thinking. So happy blogging....
