A day with Autowala

Background:
Had to catch an auto to get back to office, after handing over my car to be serviced. Conversation with an autowala ...

Result: Sweet experience.

Champion: Autowala

Play:

I had hassled with the autowala for Rs.30 from Adyar to Nandam. Stroked up a conversation with him on his day today needs and whatz his thought abt storing up for the winter like the ANT does.
Let me describe this character first ... he was cherubic & looked similar to the 7G Rainbow colony hero in physical contour. But mark my words, the clarity in his thought stumped me and thatz what i'm goin' to pen it over here.

Man is a positive personality by birth and thatz the design of God ... reason ... Mankind always walks forward & not backward ;)

God is a great leveller ... reason ... story goes like this ... There was a Guruji who used to feed a monkey with two breads in the morning & four breads at nite. And this pattern was repeated for quite sometime that monkey was quite aware of the pattern. One fine day, the Guruji reversed the pattern, that is .. he gave four breads in the morning & two breads at nite to the same monkey. And, this monkey being clever (presumed) faulted the Guruji of stealing its quota of two breads at nite. Now, Monkey in this analogy is the Mankind and God the Guruji ... Man with his limited understanding always gruggies when things dont turn out the way he desires and faults the God ... but the fact remains that you get things in a randomised fashion so as to fit in with the magnificent design of God yet justice is served!

And to finally round off the conversation he says ... Mankind can accomplish anything he desires provided he/she gives the effort displayed by a drowning man's struggle to save his life :)

I thanked the autowala gleefully and handed him Rs.35 as a token of appreciation for his enlighting talk :)
