Saving the best for last

While having dinner last night I noticed how I would instinctively save the best thing on my plate for last. Light bulb moment: started wondering if life does that to you too. It serves all the crap in the beginning only to serve the best last. You might think im just being highly optimistic, but when I look back at life- it’s only gotten better!

Take for example the guys I’ve dated, I would be really embarrassed to be seen with some of them in public now! But they only got better…the last one was a bomb, a nuclear bomb!

The days of the week also work on the same analogy, Mondays being the worst…but it only gets better. Come weekend and voila you are partying!

Life is like a 3 course meal – a starter to work you up, main course to satisfy you hunger and the dessert always to be served last! That’s no co-incidence – the best things in life are always to be had or experienced after you’ve gone through the not so great experiences. So every time life throws shit at you, know that it’s only going to get better and like everything else…this too shall pass!

With u... For u... Always….

By Meenakshi Chauhan

The mantra of Delhi police... The tag line for the last 10 odd years.. with you for u always… crap… I love Delhi and have to defend it to many a traveler but after the experience I had I think foreigners and diplomats are safer in my city than me!!!

Here’s what happened:

My last birthday as a single independent lady in Delhi, 16th June 2007, I take my friends to chungwa in M block market GK – 2 for a nice lunch. The food was ok the service horrendous, the waiters lazy… wait wait wait, I’m digressing… ok so I park my car, get a parking slip from the government authorized parking attendant ‘ 10 rupees for 3 hours’ , come out an hour later and there is a huge mob that’s collected in the market. Wondering what the commotion is about I notice a sticker on my car saying ‘look wrong parking’. It’s a challan for 600 rupees. 600 rupees for no fault of mine????

I decided then and there I was going to fight for my rights. Hale Bob Marley… The problem was who to fight with.
The traffic police said – I’m right get the parking attendant to pay.
The parking attendant said – wait let me talk to the cops and disappeared.
The Delhi police ‘with u for u always’, said- its beyond our jurisdiction speak to traffic police.
Traffic police said – get delhi police to get u your money for the challan from the parking attendant.
Delhi police said – we can’t do that.

So what do I do go find some goonda to beat the parking attendant up or should I have physically assaulted him and taken the money…Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally someone after much fighting said go to Nehru place and lodge a complaint. Brilliant!
So I and my 2 musketeer friends go to Nehru place to fight for my rights.
We expect a government office, we find a dilapidated stinky 4 X 4 room, and I spew out my story.
The chap there too agrees I am not at fault the parking attendant will pay. He calls the traffic police agent deployed at the spot to bring the parking attendant. Half an hour later he arrives with the wrong guy. The chap tells me to go back to GK 2 and find the right parking attendant… it’s my birthday …. Hrmphf!!!!!!!

I walk out and the traffic police agent says he will not issue me a ticket as it was not my fault…. Why couldn’t he have just said that in the 1st place!!!

Anyhow I still have the evidence, so just incase he was lying and I get a ticket in 2 months because that’s how long it takes…I will re open the case… and if I am honest I will probably just pay the 600 bucks to save from having to go to court!!!


Lessons learnt:

1. Do not trust the parking guys unless you’re sure its authorized parking with no signs for no parking or tow away zone in at least a 1KM radius of your car.
2. do not go to Delhi police for any traffic related offenceDo not go to Delhi police for any help whatsoever… the traffic police is at least a lot more civil if you speak nicely. Delhi police is rude!
3. Drive as little as possible.

15th June a bike comes and bangs into my car, dents my bumper, and the man yells at me saying ‘ Madam break marne se pehle… peeche toh dekh lo”, ‘Madam before u jam on your breaks look behind u”… ya and go straight into the back of the car in front of me that braked??????


4. Stand by what you believe in and see it through to the end. It’s a headache but it might just pay off.

5. Don’t think the traffic police agent actually thought I’d go to Nehru place and fight for my rights!!!

6. Delhi police cannot give you a ticket unless its at night when traffic police is off duty!!!

i miss you...

She asked me for a cold drink
I ran to the kitchen to fetch her one
I was back in no time only to find her gone…lost forever…
The last thing she asked me for… I couldn’t get it to her in time…
I will always miss her smile. Smile, when she was in pain. Smile, when she saw me…
Smile…smile…smile…that’s all I remember…
I was too young to understand
But could feel the loss – of her smile!

The phone rang
He told me he had a surprise for me.
I was excited, promised I’ll see him over the weekend.

The phone rang again…I rushed to answer, ask about the surprise
It wasn’t him…he would never call again…was he angry with me?
I was hurt; I knew I would miss him and the surprise I never got
I forgot to tell him how much I loved him;
Will he know how much I love him?

She was expecting.
I was excited. A new born was coming!
He came into this world with complications. The tiniest little thing I had ever seen.
I couldn’t touch him.
He needed to rest.
He went off to sleep, never to open his eyes…
I will miss what we could have had…the bond that was broken too early…

I got the news… He’s not well
I wonder if I’ll see him again, I really want to but can I face another loss?
I have to tell him how much I care, how much he means to me, how much I’ll miss him…
I don’t want this to end…

Co-incidence...i say Conspiracy!!!

This yr i tripped again!!! i hurt myself bad enough...

lying on my bed...wondering wats happening...i believe the world is conspiring agaisnt me. They want to crush my spirit! i say...lil falls on the stairs wont kill me...u need a nuclear bee!

Dreams
Someone once said to me that when dreams become a reality they lose their charm, but as my dreams are becoming a reality they seem more charming than ever! It's the first step towards the Ultimate dream and for me the first has been the most difficult but im hoping that my steps become faster...and easier!

Lets just be friends...

Two people meet...are attracted to each other, start spending time together but somewhere realise that is nto working out for them...theres soemthign more or LESS that they are looking for! They decide to part ways and the last sentence exchanged is - Lets just be friends! the most insincere sentence in the english language. People say this not because they really want to be friends, but to make it easier for both involved...
