To the voracious readers, witty brains and critics... This is my first post on my blog... So i wudn't be pleasing anyone.... As I jus' stated "This is MY Blog" so i don't care a Rat Shit for what you think... Pardon me for my FRENCH! But, you are invited to pour your heart out.... :)
ViTaMiN-M... Nah I ain't gonna talk about the want or lack of ‘M’oney.... quite an intriguing name for a blog then, ain't it? [You hav to agree with it! For, again its MY Blog ;-) ].
To figure out Y…. Picture this:
A Friday evening, (needless to say Bengaluru’ spirit would be at its peak). To add to the pandemonium, if the weekend's a long one, then only Mr.Fate can save you from the clutches of B’luru traffic. Now to make things a lil’ cozy for the so called "Geeks" or the IT professionals there are Volvo Buses [addressed from now on as VBus, for ease of typing] plying around the city. Now Sample this, majority of these passengers are pretty much from the BIG BRAND IT Cos/ Service Cos. To anyone gazing them from outside the VBus, they would look like the elite and well-'M'annered and polished professionals.
Rolling back to Friday evening, we are now at a bus stop and we see the vBus approachin', the Prospective Passengers are seen pretty relaxed and not over-excited [now work has sucked the spark out of them, we really can't blame those helpless creatures. If it were a kid, he/she would have been overwhelmed to see a VBus approaching, as far as I am concerned, I was elated that I would be getting back home comfortably]. Now the best part is when the doors open for the Prospective Passengers to get on-board. The point to note is "Prospective". For those who have not travelled by the comfort on wheels, it is a nauseatic feeling to step into a VBus, trust me. You needn’t get to an amusement park for a Columbus ride. The best part is when you are in, and yet to figure out a place for yourself and the there goes the driver giving the VBus a full throttle. [You've almost had a high without a joint!! Not that I have smoked joints but collated that info from a couple o movies]
I’ve been digressing a lot…( I guess). Resuming the transmission, so the VBus has arrived, and the doors are yet to be opened. The so-called "WELL-BEHAVED-AND-MANNERED-GEEKS" who seemed sober and relaxed a moment ago, get a pang of berserkness once the door opens and start pouncing on each other breaking a way into the VBus. Least bothered if there are women and others fellow passengers with luggage, boarding the same God forsaken VBus.
Dude!! C'mon you'll were alright a while ago, did hell break lose over you’ll?!?! I don't think there is a loo in the vehicle that all had to attend the call of nature at d same stroke Or Hello! Is someone serving chocolates for free Or may be I missed reading "Offer Valid till stocks last". I h've never observed the driver push off without getting you'll on-board till date. Then Y on earth you people trying to barge in?
May be old habits die hard. The Govt. Buses (addressed from now on as GBus for ease of typing) would have pampered the Indian public so much that they almost forgot that this is a VBus!
After worming into the VBus, I happened to get a place for my arse, I woz taken for a surprise by a negotiating neighbor. (Neighbour in a bus?? Yeah…. I meant a huge co-passenger). This guy jus' started stretching [A better metaphor would be EXPANDING / SWELLING] as soon as he placed his arse on his seat and the two of us had to settle in with a 60-40 stake of the seat!! I couldn’t tolerate dis but there woz something more in store for me…. I begin to realize that we are sharing the same news-paper (ET), and forces me into a conversation, didn’t take long for him to get on to stocks and equity stuff. I abhor talking about d number crunchin’ stuff, which would have been evident to him from the my facial expressions, giving him more leeway to YAP…It didn’t take long for my neighbor to turn into my Free of cost Financial Advisor!! I had to finally cut d crap by answering my roomies call! Long live my roomie. :)
People really make you get on to your nerves…. But one thing's for sure, they are reinforcing the fact that education can't help them any further. They still would remain the same - ILLITERATE. :)
Observation:
In those GBUs' one would observe that the Ladies have a separate seating area [I am not getting at why it is so! ;) ]. On the other hand, men would have to rush thro' the other door. Now, pushing here and making a way thro' the crowd o'er here is perfectly understandable. [Brotherly love, not a euphemism for BROTHERLY which your corrupt mind perceives]
People!! Open your eyes at least now and come out of the trance of a GBus. The VBus doesn't function like that. Grow up!! The questionable part from the above observation is did the public transport committee think that the VBus would be used judicially by the well-'M'annered or it would make people realize that they should be well mannered? So, were they successful? (I Doubt it BIG TIME). Again, it’s the system right!! Would like to suface this quote.. “Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.”
The Indian Attitude surfaces out doesn’t? Can't you'll be more organized and orderly?!?!? Probe on this folks! May be it’s a probable reason for a good number of Indians to remain sans orderliness. After all it’s our birth right isn’t? ;)
Hope you intercepted, why I referred the passengers as "Prospective", after the hush-hush the ones plannin' to travel would no more be passengers but Patients! :D
Is there an expiry date to their ViTaMiN-M pill? Huh??
Bet none would have had this habit of procrastinating something like bloggin... like it’s o'er a year dat i created dis blog space for myself and I am penning down my thots now..... I owe a sincere thank to ma workplace for blocking this site for a while and while it is made accessible thanks to them for givin' me work (for which v r underpaid) that added to the procrastination... While I woz typing this out, I had my manager calling for me and my dear neighbor (The client) peeping into my PC, inquisitive to know what am I up to! Well that calls for lack of Vitamin-M again!!
Guess you might hav figured out by now.... What was intended as Vitamin ‘M’ [Manners – incase your dull mind didn’t!! ;) ]
Hope u had a good read!! :)
U r invited to make d comments as bloody as possible! But keep it decent... lol... ;)

Nice rambling...am reminded of a similar piece I wrote some 2 years ago !
Keep going!
Good start mate! (AT LAST :)) Keep writing!
Fuck you man! Dont curse us! I have seen those ppl, which the so called "well mannered" IT geeks are trying to imitate, over here. Even here in US I find jostlings to get into train. Everybody is equally impatient to reach a destination which is always unknown.
By the way I was expecting a blog from you since aeons. Good to see you started. Keep it up.
Thats because the population of Indians in the US is higher than the population of certain countries in eastern Europe.So obviously, the madness has spread in US and has affected millions of others in the country.
Other countries beware! The Indians are coming!
Run!
hi there! yeah its good... for a start... expecting way better ones... good you dint start out with a Hello World! post.. I like it.. Good going!

Dinzy n Prabhu: i guess you'll might have heaved a sigh of relief having seen my first post... (and happy dat i wont b bothering you'll more about my first blog and reasons for not having it posted!! )
Dinzy: Very True that evryone's in a haste to get to their dest.... Accepted!! but not in the indian way of life!!
Well even if that's acceptable by you i bet the whites do not bump into other copassengers arse!! (unless they aren't straight!!) :)
Having tolerated dis.. i bet you wudn't find whites sharing the same paper (unless they wanna hide their doings from their co-passengers in the bus/train behind the paper)
All: Bet everyone of you would hav face the brunt of lack of Vitamin M, share it across!
