Short Story: #CupidGames With Aman & Sneha...

It was a cold and foggy Saturday morning in the month of February. 

Valentine's Day.

Delhi.

Sneha had just woken up from deep slumber.

At 09:00 AM, that is.

She had slept late the last night, owing to the midnight 'Barbecue 'n' Bonfire' at home, that had lasted well into the middle of night.

She had hit the sack at four. 

Five hours of sleep?

~~~

"That just wouldn't do!

Mom, I told you to wake me up at eleven, didn't I?

I require at least eight hours of beauty sleep!"

 Sneha, said stepping out of the shower.

~~~

Sneha's mother, stepped into her room, with a glass of warm milk in hand.

Sneha was well into her mid - twenties, but couldn't tolerate either tea or coffee.

She liked her good old milk, the best...

Had Mom not reminded her the reason for waking her up early, she would have missed her show!

~~~

Oh!

Did I tell you?

Sneha worked as a Radio Jockey for one of the leading radio stations in the city. 

So, since she was an RJ, Saturday and Sunday were also working days. 

But, music was her passion. 

So, she didn't mind going to work on what the world called as 'weekends'.

~~~

And, it was her daily routine to freshen up and have her milk, immediately after.

She used to read the news, pick up her smartphone and earphones, and with her handbag in tow, she used to step out of the house.

She left home at 11:00 AM, that day.

Sneha's show aired from noon on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

She used to air soft, romantic melodies.

~~~

Since Valentine's was around the corner, she decided to turn her show into a request show, for the entire week before Cupid's Day.

Coincidence or not, February 14, 2015 was to be a Saturday! :)

The plan was to let the listeners tune in and call Sneha, to dedicate a song to their loved one, and then propose to them, ON AIR! :)

~~~

Today was going to be one blast of a day, for Sneha.

She had to be on toes, literally.

For the lines wouldn't stop ringing!

~~~

But, Sneha knew how to multitask.

With perfection at that!

~~~

What she knew not, was that a surprise caller was waiting for her to receive the call.

Hello...

Hello. 
Thanks for calling in.
May I know your name?

My name is Mr. A.

For a moment, Sneha froze.

Mr. A was how she liked to address her boyfriend, Aman!

Nevertheless, she spoke...

Yes, Mr. A.
To whom would you like to dedicate your special song?

Ms. S.

Sneha froze again...

Mr. A and Ms. S were their personal salutations!

Now, Sneha was sure Aman was playing #CupidGames with her...

And which song would you like to dedicate to Ms. S?

Tu Hai Ki Nahi...

From Roy!


That was a mutual favorite, that song!

Sneha couldn't contain herself, any more.

And, what special message do you have for Sneha?

Do you think she will agree?

You could give it a try, Aman...

He popped the question, straightaway...

Will you marry me, RJ Sneha Kapoor?

Yes, Wing Commander, Aman Singh.

~~~

Aman was a Wing Commander, for the Indian Air Force. 

He had stepped boldly on to a public platform, to confess his love for his lady-love!

That was one of his small #CupidGames, which drew them closer...

Close Up together...

Aman And Sneha... :)

Tata? Here Comes BOLT!

Top post on IndiBlogger.in, the community of Indian Bloggers

~~~

The following conversation had been overhead outside a Tata Motors showroom in New Delhi.

We have these two mean machines from under Tata's belt featured in this dialogue, which proceeded as under.

Dated 17 January 2015.

~~~

Hey Vista! Howdy Mate?

Hi Zest! I'm good. How about you?

I'm good too, and I've brought some hot news...

Oh! Is it something I'm unknown to?
Tell me more...

We're going to welcome a new member into our family very soon.

Wait. Is it about _ _ _ _?

Do you know about it too?

Well, how could you think I, The Vista wouldn't know about it?

Does it...

Start with a B and end with a T?

No, it doesn't...

Then what does?

It goes much beyond its B's and T's...
Much, MUCH Beyond...

Oh, C'mon!
We are the stalwarts of the family. 
It must prove its mettle to us, first.

~~~

Cut-scene to a certain flashy mall in West Delhi.

Pacific Mall, Subhash Nagar.

Dated 18 January 2015.

We hear this catchy tune, playing all along.

They were addressing it as their 'Ringtone'.

We also hear a distant voice bossing over how the atrium of the mall had to be setup for the day.

~~~

We'd be having a center-stage setting, here, today.

The podium to the left side corner, the photo-op to the right side, and the main attraction, of the day, bang in the middle.

I need the LCD screens to be wall-mounted and be playing our deliverable, on LOOP.

And, And, AND...

I need a good number of representatives to BOLT around the atrium.

And I need them to be on their toes...

~~~


The atrium of the mall, thus sprung into activity at the break of dawn.

For, it had to be a nine-to-nine job!

And, it deserved not to be taken lightly.

Not at any cost.

~~~

Ladies & Gentlemen...

Presenting To You...

The One And Only...

I. Me. Myself.

Rendered In Red.

Striking Red.

Stop-Sign Red.

~~~

Stop-Sign Red?!

My Red is the stop-sign for all other automobile giants and their so-called 'Finer Than The Finest' state-of-art machines.

For when I arrive, I am going to re-define the universal perception of state-of-art.

So, me and my mates, rule over the wheel!


Show-stopper Smile?

Killer Smile?

Or, Evil Grin...

For my competitors? ;)

~~~

I Am...

The...


I am a Premium Hatchback which has stepped into the market, to pose fierce competition for cars of the likes of a certain Swift and an i20.

~~~

I heard that my family members, were eagerly waiting for me to prove my mettle.

Before we move on to it, I'm sure you must be waiting to admire me in  my splendor.


Looking Cool?

I have FIVE features, which set me a notch higher than my predecessors.

Also, I am a step ahead of my contemporaries.

Incidentally, there is a lady going by the name of Mrs. Poonam, who will be gracing the dais alongside Yours Truly.

She has made a statement.

She wants to blog about me!

~~~

Can you believe it?

Even before I'm launched, my popularity is soaring across skies! :D

So, I decided to pay her a visit.

At a mall near her.

She might arrive any moment...

I've to get my feature-checklist ready.

Please excuse me, for a few minutes.

~~~

Oh My God!

She's finally here...

Leave space, people!

I am about to get interviewed! ^_^

~~~



So, that's how she first glanced at me.

And, let me pinch myself...

For, I was floored by her grace, at once! :)

They say, first impression is the last impression.

Did MY impression, impress the lady in black?

I am sure it did.

How am I SO sure?

Because...


She's all smiles, gracing my driver's seat, with my controls in her hand!

Well, if could have been a happier picture, had it not be the haphazard crowd, at that time.

I already told you...

Step Aside, People!

This is a better one.


And, this was her last glance, on our first meeting.

I hope it wasn't my last meeting with her, for sure.

Because, she was one lady who took interest, keenly listened to and jotted down my features.

Automobiles are said to be masculine domains...

Man and Machine, remember?

No!

For Poonam...

She was one alert lady!

And, let me tell you...

She is very well versed with her technicalities on this aspect.

I hope we meet again soon, Poonam! :D

Hopefully, with me gracing your abode...

~ Yours Lovingly
BOLT
From Tata Motors

She had stepped into the mall, that day, as a lady who loved her car.

She had come in with plans of disposing her automobile, at hand.

She had come in as a prospective client for the BOLT.

 And the BOLT had successfully established itself as an 'Above Par' hatchback, as per her checklist.

~~~


Cut-scene to the same Tata Motors showroom.

Once again...

We have these two mean machines from under Tata's belt featured in this dialogue, which proceeded as under.

Dated 22 January 2015.

I overheard some of the staff saying that it would be here, today...

Wait. I too have noticed.
There's something different today.

There's this new space being setup, opposite our podiums.
I bet...

It is for...

To January, On A Journey, With Jeans...

Fourteen Posts, Adjudged WOW!

~~~

Top post on IndiBlogger.in, the community of Indian Bloggers

~~~

Each New Year begins on a fresh note. 
A fresh page in The Diary Of Life. 

Yes, of course it does. 
And, 2015 is NOW here. 

Once again, the wall is adorned by new calendars, announcing the arrival of this new time. 
What does it say now, after a rotation of twelve months?

It says 'January', with a J. 

And, what does that J signify? 
That, it is the first day of the first month of New Year 2015. 
What does that mean, Navya? 

My Birthday! 
Why, it's my birthday, Mom! 
What else could January 1 signify? 

~~~


Yes. 
January 1 was the day, Navya was born. 

She was a big girl that day. 
Ten years had passed since this angel had made her way into everyone's hearts, at home. 

She was the only child of her parents. 
She was the apple of everyone's eyes. 

An entire decade, is a long time indeed. 
And, Navya was ready for some responsibilities. now.

For 2015 now, heralded a new journey, which she had to set out upon...
Because, with responsibilities, came maturity...

This girl here, had a strange taste.
Among all other things, she told her mother, every year, what she wanted as a gift!

Every single year, Navya chose her own gifts!
But, she wasn't stubborn, thankfully.

~~~

Since she turned six, she had been behind her Mother, to get her a pet in the house...
She had seen her best friend, Simran being gifted a Puppy, by her parents, on her fifth birthday.

That was it.
Navya too, wished to have a furry pal in the house. 
Not a Puppy though.

Navya wanted to have a Kitten, for a pet.
Seemed just enough.

She was the only child after all.
But, her mother seemed to be in doubt.

Navya was too amateur, to take up the responsibility, for a pet, all by herself.
That was when she was six.

Now, she had turned ten.
With each of the four years that had passed, from being six to being ten, Navya hoped that a furry friend would greet her on New Year Day.

She knew that Mom had promised her, for a pet, on any one of her subsequent birthdays.
Since she hadn't welcomed it on her seventh, eighth or ninth birthday, she wished for it to come on her tenth.

Navya knew that Mom kept her promises.
Always.

And, she was ready.
Navya was ready to wait for her eleventh, twelfth, or even for her fifteenth.

She just wanted to have a pet in the house.
However late, or however early it may arrive.

Somehow, there was a certain intuitive force, working in Navya's favor that day.
She'd had a 'morning dream', in which she had visualized herself, playing with a kitten, in the mansion's garden area.

And, as Mom had told her, 'morning dreams' had a greater chance to come true.
So, Navya was riding high on her hopes. :)

In fact, this dream was the first thing she told her Mom about, after waking up on her tenth birthday.
And when she'd asked her mother if it would indeed, come true, Mom had diverted her attention to the preparations for the day.

That had made Navya's belief stronger.
Kitten coming home, she felt. :)

~~~

Long talk cut short - it was time for Navya's present, in the evening, after the cake cutting.
A child's intuition can never go wrong.

That was what happened.
But, how it happened forms for an interesting part.

~~~

This time, Magic was the theme, for Navya's birthday party.
The magician's tricks were to happen right after Navya received her gift from her mother.



This time, her mother was there.
Her gift was not.

Mom had told her that Mr. Magician would bring her the gift.
Magical Kitten, with some special abilities?

You never know...

Navya patiently waited for the Magician to arrive.
But, she was as excited as ever.



She didn't have to wait for long.
The magician was there, in no time.

Among the routine magic tricks, that he performed to engage Navya and her friends, there was a surprise for Navya too.

This...


Meow!

This little ball of fur, made its appearance from inside Navya's jeans itself!

The small jeans pocket equaled a tiny, cute kitten, for ten-year-old Navya! ^_^

The magician made it come to Navya.
And, she was no less surprised.

So much so, that in the excitement and the astonishment of the moment...
Navya ended up naming the kitten - Jeans!

And, that's how her tenth birthday, took shape.
It has been her most special birthday, so far. :)

~~~

Indeed, Jeans is now Navya's furry friend. for life.
She believes Jeans is a feline angel.

From now on, each  New Year's Day would be the day for two birthdays.
Navya's and Jeans'! :D

Two birthdays, because Navya wanted it to be.
She now takes pride in the fact that she would share her birthday, with a special friend.

~~~

All of it, because...

It was January 1, when Jeans came into her life, and together, they've embarked on a Journey, towards a life-long friendship! :D

Of Mannerisms, Defensive Driving And Road Safety...

New Year's Eve Surprise, well timed by IndiBlogger...

Skull Candy Headphones, coming over...


~~~

June 21, 2013
12 AM
New Delhi

Dear Diary

Today is the day, my daughter turns 18. She will finally be a Major.
Today is the day she embraces adulthood and its responsibilities.

Today is the day, we'll open a separate bank - account for her, without the 'Under Guardianship' tag, among other surprises.
Above all, four days from now, her Driving Lessons begin.
June 25, 2013 is going to be a big day.

In a country like India, and especially in a city like New Delhi, it is a herculean task to maneuver through the roads, safe and sound.

Stepping out on Delhi roads, with their automobile, is bothersome for everyone, and road safety is of utmost importance for times when you are behind the wheel.

One has to learn to master the skill of careful, disciplined and safe driving, over the years. After all, Practice Makes Perfect.

So, when it comes to her, and the factor of Road Safety, I will make sure she learns to make the right moves on the road, because for my family and myself...

Safety Begins With Me!

~~~

When behind the wheel, it is not just one person's safety, that is a matter of concern. The matter of concern must be the safety of our own self, as well as the of ones around us - all motorists and pedestrians.

After all, Life does not come Cheap. It is an invaluable gift from the Almighty, that ought to be cherished and kept secure, at all times.

~~~

Keeping this in mind, I've decided that the next five days will be spent in a constructive manner, to recall and put to practice with the A-B-C-D of proper mannerisms, when on the road, as a person behind the wheel.

I'll write to you, after I train her properly. Bye for now, Dear Diary. :)

~~~

Let us begin with the training, shall we?

This Safety Driving MasterClass stars two leading ladies...

Yours Truly, and...

~~~


Hello Everyone. I'm the one who is turning 18 today. I'm the lady's daughter and will be her sincere student in this Safety Driving MasterClass.

I'll be learning the A-B-C-D of Road Safety and safe driving from my Mother, which will assist me to procure my Learner's License, successfully. Inviting you to garner some knowledge and polish it, too...

I believe you're well versed with the lady who authors this blog, aren't you?

Over to you, Mom...

~~~

Poonam : Let us begin with the basics of the trade...

The basics of Road Mannerisms are something you must be thorough with. Those are the rules which have been repeated ever since you were a kid.

  1. The Red - Yellow - Green GuidelineRed to Stop, Yellow to Wait, Green to Go. The colors must be well coordinated and must not be jumbled up, by a careless you, at any cost.
  2. The Seat - belt is a must at all times. The belt that holds you back, is for your own good.
  3. Never talk on the phone, while behind the wheel. The Phone A Friend may as well end your lifeline.
  4. For everyone out there, Drinking and Driving do NOT form a miscible solution, at any time, and at any cost, whatsoever.
  5. Do not resort to unfair means, for you are attempting the Exam of Life. Obey the law at all times. If you don't, the consequences will be grave, at all times.


Charu : The five fundamentals of Road Safety, which form the checklist for an alert citizen on the Road, Mom. More like five fingers to a hand... :)
And, oh yes, you must also stop behind the Zebra Crossing, while pedestrians must cross the road only using the Black and White Stripes on the Road.

~~~


Poonam : Learning fast, aren't you?  Let us proceed to the basics of driving, perfect for an amateur. I believe you know the positioning of the A-B-C i.e. Accelerator, Brake and Clutch. Also, the Gear Box, and how you must change gears.

As an alert citizen, and a Defensive Driver, there is a C3 - K - A - C code, as I call it.

Care
Courtesy
Consideration...

For other motorists and pedestrians.

Knowledge, of traffic rules and regulations.

Alertness, for illegal acts and erroneous driving of other motorists.

Concern for accident prevention.

~~~ 

At all times, you must obey the following traffic rules, when behind the wheel.

  1. Keep to your left. Allow traffic in the opposite direction to pass you on the right. Overtake only on the right. Overtaking on the left is permitted only when the vehicle in front is about to turn right.
  2. When being overtaken or passed by another vehicle, do not increase your speed or try and prevent the other vehicle.
  3. Slow down when approaching intersections, road junctions or road corners. Enter the intersection or junction, carefully.
  4. When entering a main road from a junction, give way to other vehicles, proceeding along the main road.
  5. Drive slowly when passing a procession, or when passing road repairs.
  6. When turning to the left, drive close to the left hand side of the road.
  7. When turning to the right, draw to the center of the road, stop at the intersection, if necessary, then move to the left hand side of the road you're about to enter.
~~~

There is a Safe Following Distance, which you must maintain.


Stay one car length behind for every 15 k.m.p.h speed. 

This is much like the 'One Arm Distance' you used to maintain in your P.E. Drills at school, isn't it? ;)

The cars here, are like your peers at school...

~~~

Charu: Great going, Mom. Please guide me, as to how I must prepare myself to prevent collisions, or accidents, from my side, too.

Poonam: Good question. That was what was next, in the MasterClass too. Did you sneak in to read through my lesson plan?

Charu: No... :D

Poonam: Anyways. Moving On...

Just like your Mathematical Proofs, and their Cases...

In case of :-

A Possible Collision With The Vehicle Ahead

Stay alert and expect the driver ahead of you, to brake without warning.
Start stopping sooner. When you know you will have to stop, slow down gradually. Do not wait for the last straw.

A Possible Collision With The Vehicle Behind

Signal your intentions well before you slow or stop.
Keep clear of drivers who are 'bumper chasers'. Slow down and encourage them to pass.

A Possible Collision With The Approaching Vehicle

Stay Left. Do not crowd the center line. If the oncoming driver crosses it, warn him by honking or by using your dipper.

A Possible Collision With The Vehicle At An Intersection

Look both ways. As you approach an intersection, look first to the right to make sure that the other traffic is yielding the right of way, then to the left. Keep checking for any unusual action, on either side.
Watch out for curves. Slow down before entering a curve, then pick up speed as the curve permits.
Don't fight for right of way. You have the right of way only when you can see that it is safe, regardless of stop signs.

A Possible Collision With The Overtaking Vehicle

Check the rear. Before you change lanes, check your rear-view mirror and glance back to make sure your blind-spot is clear. Use your indicator light and move only when the lane is clear.

~~~

Charu: Points noted, Mom. How should I infer from the hand-signs and mannerisms of the traffic policemen / police-women?

Poonam: Brilliant question! Here is the resolution to your query...


10 hand-signs from the traffic police personnel and their interpretations, listed alongside, for your reference, everyone...

~~~

Charu: Thanks Mom. Any other topics left to cover, from your lesson plan? :D

Poonam: Yes. You are a motorist when you take to the wheel. But you also don the hat of a pedestrian. These are the two roles, you play interchangeably.

There are, what I call, The Many Faces Of A Pedestrian.

These are the mannerisms of a pedestrian which you must NOT portray. For the times when you are a motorist on the road, you must keep a vigilant eye for such pedestrians.

  1. The Sprinter :- You've seen him often. But just barely. In rush-hour traffic, he will sprint across the road, expecting YOU to SLOW DOWN.
  2. The Genie :- Pass a stationary or slow moving vehicle, and he will spring out at you, before either of you can see other. Sometimes a Genie may be a young kid in hurry to get across, or an office worker, stepping out from behind a bus. SLOW DOWN when passing such a vehicle.
  3. Houdini :- He thinks he can emerge from any engrossing situation. You will find him in the middle of traffic, trying to escape to the other side, by squeezing himself between cars.
  4. The Spook :- He steps out for a stroll at night. He is beyond your field of view. If you wish to have a ghost encounter, you must stop within the distance you can see.
  5. Answering Machine :- He carries his conversation onto the road, even while crossing. His is a one-track mind, and it is NOT on the traffic. Wield your horn and give him plenty of room.
  6. The Band Of Merry Men :- The biggest problem on the road can be the 'tiny tots'. Chasing the cricket ball, across the road is their favorite activity. SLOW DOWN whenever you see them, and give them room.
~~~

Charu: Thanks for a perfect Safety Driving MasterClass, Mom. You are the best teacher ever. I'll ace that Driving Test and surprise you with my Learner's License, on the 25th! :D

Poonam: Go and make me proud! :)

~~~

The next diary entry in my Dear Diary, was the one that accounted for how Charu procured her Learner's License with elan! :)

~~~

This post, on the blog is like a guide, for all the motorists out there, isn't it?

If we all make a promise to ourselves, that we'll abide by these guidelines to the best of all abilities and at all times, India can be made  motorist - friendly and the roads would be safer to drive on, for sure.

~~~

The content for this post has been referred to from a 'Defensive Driving for Safer Motoring' guide issued by the Traffic Police of Delhi, procured by me, 15 years back, from the Traffic Park, New Delhi. The images on the blog, carrying the watermark, have also been sourced from the same.

~~~

The Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., conducts the Nissan Safety Driving Forum (NSDF) in India as part of its safety driving promotion activities. The program began as an annual activity in 2012. In its initial phase it covered three main Indian cities – New Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai – and since then has gradually expanded to several additional cities across India.

This year, NSDF would reach 8 new cities – Chandigarh, Jalandhar, Jaipur, Vadodara, Nagpur, Chennai, Mangalore and Kochi. The overall reach and engagement levels have phenomenally grown and NSDF has effectively reached close to 2 lakh citizens.
