Dent-o-rama

Being my first Blog, I will play safe. You will find a 1000-rupee note in ur mailbox within 2 days of reading this blog verbatim!!! and as long as I am making insane claims, might as well deliver a Merc into ur courtyard within a week!!!



Travails :

About a month back I bought a SWIFT. That day, after I parked my car into my building, BMC officials decided to dig up the whole road in front of my building. It is amazing how BMC works with such amazing alacrity when you least require it. Whereas the petition, about a request to clear up the garbage from our vicinity remains unanswered for 4 months now. Thanks to Brihanmumbai Mismanaged Corp, I wasn’t able to drive the car for 15 days from the day of delivery. Meanwhile the children of our building used it as a board to draw a few pictures on the dust that had settled on it and few found scratching it amusing.

You know how U go out for the first drive and you are enjoying the power of the Power steering, the power windows and suddenly a cyclist conveniently compels you to test your power brakes and still manages to scrape the side of the car, giving the car its first dent. Well, that happened to me. My mom consoled me by saying that it was good Shagun “omen” and now the car had a black mark to prevent it from evils and omens!!! I wud rather have an invisible ghost sitting in my car!!!

The very next day BMC was at it again. They left an open Man-hole and while I tried to maneuver my car through the pile of garbage, the pile of stones of the dug –up road, the boulders subdividing one side of the road and the parked cars, my left tyre found the man-hole!!! Chaar kandhon ki zaroorat padi , in the very first month of my car, to get it outta that Hole. Good I didn’t have to take it to the mortuary.

The other day I parked my car in a mall and came back to find a dent on its right side. Left as a mark of friendship from the owner of the car who parked right beside me, I presume. His cars door must have gone insane seeing my car and would be so in love with it , that when the fat owner might have tried to get into the car, it might have taken the opportunity to bang n kiss my cars door.

Swiftly my car has acquired so many black marks that I hope I would have bought a black car instead of a silver one, becos in the end , its gonna be black anyways!!!

I would like to start a petition. This one will work probably becos we wont send it to the BMC!! We will send it to the legal authority of India. Oof… well think positively guys!!

The clauses.

1) The right of an owner of a new car, to be allowed to squash a cyclist, who inadvertently and conveniently comes in its way...

2) The right of an owner of a new car, to be allowed to personally spank the children who are naïve and devilish enough to take the car for a slate! OR if the parents are ready to beat them up instead!!

3) The right of an owner of a new car, to be allowed to smash up the car of a person who as much as kisses any part of the new car.

4) The right of all the members of a society, to be allowed to shit in the premises of the BMC headquarters if their petition to pick up the garbage in their locality falls on deaf ears.

5) The right of an owner of a new car, to be allowed to shoot at sight any contractor who has made pot-ridden roads.

6) The right to write a crappy blog and still be able to be appreciated!!! :P
