Bicycle

Bicycle,which was one of the commonly used transport two or three decades back,has gone completely out of the picture from the Indian roads.Now a days nobody uses a bi-cycle to move around.Now,only small children in first or second standard do cycling.After that nobody,whether young or old, wanna use bicycle.Once having a chat with my father's uncle, he told me that he got a bi-cycle from his inlaws when he got married.But now, four wheeler is the new norm.

It is one of the good exercises that can be done easily without much of an effort.Most of the well-to-do families do cycling only inside a gym or in the comfort of their house or a lawn.A bicycle is used as a transport only by poor guys and mostly by the people working in small manufacturing factories.One may think as to why this guy is talking about a bicycle here. Today, when i was on my way to office i found a flurry of bicycles coming,when there was a red light.Most of the people on the two wheels were workers in nearby factories.

Bicycle,I think is one of the cheapest and pollution free form of transport.Also,it keeps one fit and is a good exercise.Though a bit self-contradictory ,I think that the use of bicycle may not be conducive to today's life-style.In this fast moving world and era of technology,everybody wants things to be quick.Everyone wants to avail the luxury provided by technology.Even if one look at the roads,most don't have any bi-cycle lanes.So,guys my advice is,if bi-cycle suits you,make use of it,though I myself have not yet decided that i should buy a bi-cycle or not.Byeee.Cya.Ta-Ta.

Ghaddi(Watch)

Hi
Watch.Everybody wears a watch,irrespective of sex,age,religion or qualification one holds.It helps a person to keep track of time and give him a sense that the world is moving.Depending on one's salary and one's interest a person might wear a hundred rupee or a few thousand rupees watch.Though some might even wear a watch worth few lakhs rupees,just to show off.

One might say ask as to why i am talking of a watch.Day before yesterday i broke the glass of my watch and than i realize the importance of watch.Though i had my cell phone to check the time, i was missing my watch.Watch was very useful to me as a student.It helped to keep track of the time in my exams where there is huge fight for time.If one has noticed, a person looks at a watch without even looking at the exact time.It gives him a feeling that the time is passing away
and he/she has to get his/her work done quickly.

Yesterday I went to a watch-repair shop to get the bug removed from my watch.There I realized that the watch is so delicate.One has to have patient and very careful, to work on that small device.If one is a regular watch wearer and do not realize the importance of the watch,he/she should try to move out without a watch and if possible, even without a mobile phone to avoid time tracking.

If I introspect and think myself without a watch,life could have been tough.I had always missed my school bus in the morning,without a wrist watch.I might not have made into an engg college.I had always missed my train to my college.I would not have got a job and would always have been in the meeting after or before time and not on time.Chaloo .Bye
