Of Cars, Among Other Things - Page 2

True, a car does become an important part of the mid-class Indian family...and sadly you realise its role only when you dont have it.

Hey Madhu... very well written ..👏

Madhu...thnx...as i mentioned earlier...i luv what u say, how u say & I guess...when u say as well!!

Nice post :)... reminded me of my old days.

@ annya13, Namrata, Yamini, Piyali, Fawwaz, Arvind, Zara, Chandrika, Shreya, anya123:
Thanks for your reply guys...😊...and it is true indeed, like you people said, many of us can exactly feel where Deepak's character comes from...nice touches of realism...

@ Nishkala: Well said, Nish 😊...when each member of the family has a different car, it looks more like " they they, them them" kinda family...it totally dilutes the fun..i am for the " hum so many, humara car ek "...what better than squeezing in with your family members and gossiping all the way through the drive ??...and your car story is just 👍🏼...its only a matter of time before we decide to do things other way round, right...loved your reply😊

@ Preet : True that 😊...in times of adversity, it is these pieces of steel, iron, gold and silver that come forward to help us...Thanx for your lovely reply😊

I needed some food for thought...& u provided it...a glimpse of yur memory lane...a peep into others too...& def a walk down my own!

Car...a new one or even a second hand one...what a source of pride & joy...an old one battered or bruised & about to be sold...what stories to tell & so much of hue & cry!

A medium of transportation...not just in physical sense but mental too...a drive to get grip on your thoughts,even get out of the blues!

A place for not just for subtle romance, the lingering glance which conveyed messages so deep, but also a place which quietened my bub & rocked him so often to sleep!

Anyways...i'v said enuff...& cud go on & on...but end of the day, i do love my car & tend to take it for granted...guess its a wife's wife!!😆

Btw, Just read the original poem too...a v beautiful & deep one...here's a link in case someone else wants to read it too..

thnx once again for your post!

That was just EPIC!!! 👏...seriously, I am at a loss for words, Pooja...😊 and the way you've laid it out is just brilliant...the first line talks about that buying moment and second line goes for the contrast...again line 2- physical and mental, gripping our thoughts and coming out of depression and line 3- from a lover's and mother's point of view...you've played with contrasting emotions here and the outcome is so beautiful ...One needs to love their car to come up with something like this...Wife's wife for you indeed!!!...

@Madhu...thx for yur kind words...i tried making some sense thats all...because well i have a history & hosts of memories & nightmares with cars!!😆
