Driving through life's lessons

When the clutch is released and the car wizzes off the road, Whoa! what a feeling that is. With Amy Grant or Abba singing in the background, on an eight lane road, with just the bit of traffic you need to drive, on a Swift Dzire, and of course with the early morning breeze! There are not many words in English to describe that feeling except the word, Whoa!

Then you turn left, and enter a road, under construction for the last ten years. You look ahead and see 500 cars on the next signal, and with a crazy IT professional behind you honking as if the moment he enters office he will save the country, and a small girl with a child on her shoulders begging for your throw away coin on your side window; Whoa, became a silent, gosh! who the hell invented these cars? what are these people doing here without any work (forgetting that you don't have any work there either!) 

Life in those two pictures, is what life has been in the entirety. Some beautiful days with so much to thank God for and the very next moment, cribbing and yelling, saying it has not been fair enough!

Did n't I tell you, I am becoming a philosopher? See, I am learning life's lessons, even by driving a car!!!
