The ambulance whizzed past the building. He kept staring at it for some time. The siren died away as it rocketed its way to Pune. The Mumbai-Pune Expressway was silent again.

He was staring out of the window. There had been a small accident in the street below. He could see the two tiny drivers get out of their toy cars. He could see them arguing with each other.

A couple of days ago, it happened again. Another guy got angry and shot his girlfriend. It happened in Sangli this time. This is not the first time it is happening in Sangli. About 5 years ago, the same thing had happened. But one good thing is that this time, the girl has survived the attack. Though she is still hospitalized, she is supposedly out of danger.

Too many young Indians are asking this question. Too many graduates and too few jobs.

Okay, maybe it is not that big enough to justify the term "Paradigm Shift". I will then coin a new term (In fact I coined it way back, was just waiting to use it somehow :P) and call it "Paradigm Vibration". This term denotes that the viewpoint is about to change but not quite sure whether the change is justifiable or whether the change is real.

For a long time now, I have been thinking about writing something about the drivers of private buses. Today, the company bus that takes me from my place to the company just missed killing 5 people in a car. The driver was very upset at missing them. I guess too many people have ‘missed’ his bus lately. So I must dedicate this post to our driver.

Something is wrong with me. For last three-four days, I have been thinking about the problems that India as a country faces. And I can actually see the solution. Yeah, the solution is very difficult to implement and it cannot be implemented by one individual. It has to implemented by all of us.

Why do people help each other? This is one question that I haven’t been able to answer satisfactorily. But let me clarify at the outset that I am not at all against the idea. I am just wondering what are the forces that drive such behaviour.
Is it because we feel that someday we might also need to be helped? Is it because we feel that it is the right thing to do? Or is it because we The Consultanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04291992490469316295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757335.post-942024222003-05-12T06:58:00.000-07:002003-05-12T06:58:43.253-07:00

I wonder how many of us really know what we want to do with our life. The life keeps going on and we are dragged along with it.
