'Shift Delete' Gal

Today when I came to my bus stop it was late(as usual). I was praying God to get me bus immediately. He listened me this time, i saw Shivajinagar pushpak bus infront of me. I took the ticket and saw the driver being in hurry. I glanced at the bus for vacant seat. I saw three seater where a girl is sitting making her face towards window and a guy at the other end. I felt little unhappy but i didn't had any choice. I just don't like to sit beside a gal because i need to give them my half seat also to avoid contact with them. Unknowingly if we made slight touch, they behave as though we are doing purposefully. Even though we dont know anything about each other, I just don't want to take bad name. I made comfortable in my remaining half seat beside her. Driver was busy in issuing tickets to others and he was irritated by the commuter who stands near him without moving forward.

I opened my 'Alchemist' book to read. Book was written nice, but i felt little irritated with words like 'Omens' 'triebsman' 'maktub' 'language of world'. I know i wont become Alchemist after reading the book but at least i will inspire to follow my dreams. So I just continued with the story. In between i used to hear driver scolding the people causing bad traffic and his faith of not becoming software engineer. He was of opinion that all software engineers family will have vehicle for each member and this increased traffic. I thought you need to contact these persons to know how to control traffic and not that NASSCOM lady which Times Of India always covers. I returned to my book and it went well. After some time i felt uncomfortable reading the book in that half seat. I moved the book inside bag and closed my eyes

My Boy Gene activated and inspired me to see girl face once. I was just CURIOUS to know how she looks. I opened my eyes and tried to see her, but i couldn't. She is sitting beside me and how can i just see by turning towards her. What if she scolds me or curse me?. I closed my eyes again. But my mind doesn't want to give up and it suggested various methods. But every time i could only see her face covered with hair. She was enjoying FM. Now my gene started analyzing her:). She was of medium height. She was wearing black pant with sky blue color kurta on it. Kurta had simple embroidery on it. She had little big purse, from which a key chain was popping out. Oh! i am not that bad as my sister tells. Till date i couldn't able to buy a dress for her by selecting on my own. Every time i end up in giving money to her. Oh! she had mehndi on her feet and hands. Is something special going on in her life? not required i have seen my sister having it whenever she likes. I looked into her mobile, its Nokia with FM. From its look i guess its CDMA service provider. I read her cellphone display and I read sumthing as 'Maryamu'?. Cant read exactly but first four letters were 'Mary'. Cell was in silent mode.

I suddenly thought what the hell am doing? how does this all matters to me? why should i be curious to see her? answer is straight forward 'Nothing and nothing'. I gave up and started waiting for my stop to come. At my stop after coming out of the seat, i turned to her for the last time. Oh! happy i could able to see her now. After seeing her i said myself "oh! she is that 'Shift Delete Gal'!". ha! ha! to see this known gal i wasted my creativity, energy etc.:(. Why i didn't thought of this earlier?. Hmm! there is no way other than laughing at myself.

On the other day, its evening time and i was feeling hungry. I walked into my colleague cabin and suddenly my eyes went on the web page he was browsing. Its some matrimonial site. He was shocked by sudden entry and closed the browser. I reacted to him by just nodding my head and invited him for snacks. During snacks a gal walked in and my colleague was staring at her. Recognizing this and by remembering that matrimonial site I asked him 'Is she ok for you?'. He said 'Hmm! she is ok but..' after little pause he continued 'She is ok, but she is not of kind...' He stopped there, I don't know what his thoughts on her. Again he said 'hmm lets Shift Delete her yaar'. We walked away from hotel and returned to our cabin.
Now am feeling funny about myself and that Curious mind state. ha ha ha!

ಹುಬ್ಬಳ್ಳಿ passenger

No im not going to tell about this train but i am going to tell a interesting incident happened in this train when we(me with my six fres) were traveling from Bng to Davangere last weekend.

It was around 7.30 and i was finished with my work. I was gtalking with one of my best fre about our new business blue plan. My phone started vibrating and i saw chinga calling me. He was little tensed and i told him that i vl be leaving office at 8pm and i vl b there on time. I reached there on time. As i took my first step on 10th platform, train was on its way to welcome me:) by its huge whistle. The people(non software engineers) who r waiting for this whistle started running to get their seat reserved towards general cabin. I was thanking to this train as it helped so many middle class people to reach their loved ones with comfort. I walked towards S1 cabin and after seeing chinga standing near S1, I stopped far from that cabin. He was googling our names on the list, he looked little puzzled and his face was like a kid searching for his mom in the crowd. I was just enjoying this from a distance.

Finally we all got into our cabin and luckily this time Dada came soon. He is known for his lateness and i was upset as i didn't got chance to tease him this time. We all used to tease him as 'star'(not reachable soon). I was keep questioning myself 'how come he can come early'. As the train started moving, all our discussion started with usual 'how r u?' 'how is ur job?' question-answer session. There was a pause for few minutes looking each other with silent smile. It always happens in a group of fres, we start discussing abt the person who is absent in the group. We also started discussing lot abt marula and his future. Yes its always human tendency to discuss abt other's weakness or their future instead of ourself:). Suddenly our attention went on Surendra's Brasil T-shirt and he was feeling proud of that shirt as it came all along from BRASIL!. Yes it is gifted to him by his orkutting Brasil women fre!. The T-shirt had dark green/parrot green color with 'Brasil' written on that and below some punch line which nobody can understand here. It was looking odd on him, so everyone was taking opportunity to praise him. But he was feeling proud of it:). We all were good in praising negative and make the person proud of it:).

The train was near Banavara and its Chinga, munna, shishya, surendra, ashwath.. Eng college location. They all were excited showing us there college zone and sharing memories with us. They were showing us like showing animals to small kids in the zoo. I was teasing Chinga by remembering him abt his 'kuch kuch' feeling days. Other day he screwed me by telling his golden days for complete 7hrs (Bangalore to Davangere). But today i feel sorry for him and i can understand his feelings now:). I was trying to remember my college days and suddenly Dada reminded himself that he hasn't took dinner. He opened his parcel and remainded us also to take apple which he bought.

Shishya was showing heroism by trying to broke apple with his hand. All were teasing him as 'Tippu Tippu':). Munna jumped in between and took another apple to make pieces. Munna is always known to his showoff's in front of fres. Chinga feels its ok to showoff infront of colleagues or with strange persons and not infront of fres. Most of them agree with chinga including me. A competition was going on between shishya and munna to make apple into pieces. The co-passenger enjoying all this suggested a trick to make apple into pieces by hand. Munna followed it and won in breaking apple into pieces. Everyone was happy about his heroism and he is called 'Tippu' for the day.

Munna started having it, suddenly his tooth broke down and he was feeling pain. As all this was happening suddenly we heard a door opening sound 'd a d a r' and we all turned towards door. There were some persons with video camera and some other reporters holding mic and there channel logo on it (udaya, tv9, etv, suvarna..) We all were surprised for a moment and looking each others face. Everyone was clueless about wat is happening and from where did they come from? was there any breaking news? was there any celebrity in our cabin? was it a poll on some running issue? etc., and we all feeling uncomfortable from the camera's focus light. A lady reporter came in front with mic in hand. She was wearing professional white shirt and black pant with tie. She walked close towards our cabin and had a glance on all of us. We all cleared our hair style and looked once towards our dressing code. We all just waiting to hear from her. She noticed Munna who is having pain and questioned him 'Which toothpaste u use? Does ur paste contains salt?'. Without waiting for munna's answer she continued 'Please use COLGATE toothpaste which contains active salt and it helps to keep ur tooth healthy'. So guys please use colgate toothpaste with active salt. Tin tindi din....:)
