He : Kahan ka plane hai ?
Me : Banglaore !
He : Kitna kilometer hai Banglaore yahan se
Me : Tere rickshaw main jaayenge toh 30000 aayge meter pe, ab tu hisaab laga.
He : Smiles

3 Mins Pause

He : Kitna Waqt Lagta hai yahan se wahan
Me : Traffic nai raha toh 1.30 hours, signal pe atak gaya toh jyada bhi lag sakta hai !
He : Smiles

2 mins pause

He : Ticket kitne ka lagta hai?
Me : 3000 se 5000 tak ka hai.
He : Haan hamara bhi Lucknow ka 23oo lag gaya ek jan ka, Agle mahine meri beti ko bhej raha hu Lucknow, hamare khandan main se aaj tak kisine plane nai dekha hai, jisne bhi dekha hai, usne hawe main hi dekha hai! Kisi kisi ne toh hawe main bhi nahi dekha hoga!! Humri beti toh har plane dekhti hai aur agle mahine ka intejar kar rahi hai.

Code Word FM

I have been observing this for the past few days, will do so for a few more days. If the results are positive it would mean that me and the cab driver connect at a deep level, Else whatever is happening is pure co-incidence.

Every day i am the first one to get picked up in the Indicab. The FM radio is switched off. I open up a book and start reading. After about 10 mins two more guys get picked up. The FM is still not on.

At this point all the usual stupid coversation that everyone is having just for the heck of it starts, Hey Man ! how are you ! Saw the match ? Etc etc ! And then there is the usual between the conversation silence. The FM is still off.

I start humming a song, any song. ***Wooooosh***** the cabbie moves in a flash and switches on the Radio. I WONDER WHY !!!!! Below is what my deep analysis has led me to believe.

1) He feels am a horrible singer and thinks whatever crap the radio plays is better than even letting me hum !!!
2) The moment he hears me singing, he is reminded that his cab also has a radio.
3) He actually waits for my signal and thinks it is some sort of a good omen!

This has happened continously for more than a week now ! and i am not gonna break this tradition. From tomorrow i am gonna plan which song i am gonna hum too :-)
