“E” the Emotions. If I’ll say the interesting emoticons of
gtalk and other chat software gave me the idea of thinking and writing about
the same, it won’t be wrong. This time around, I am thinking about those small,
trivial things in life which do not a huge or even a small effect on our lives
but when they happen, for a second our life stays where it is and we can think
about that thing only. As I was reading newspaper relaxed at my home (which
nowadays happens rarely), I read this report which told that Maruti Suzuki is
thinking of a replacement for Maruti 800cc. That was the moment and the next
few moments too that I kept thinking about Maruti 800cc and how important it is
to India, Indian roads and us(though I don’t own it or thinking to buy it any
time in future, near or far). This car is like ‘National Car of India’. For
e.g. if one asks who is musician of India, one spontaneously answers A. R.
Rahman, on the same lines, which is the car of India, answer, without second
thoughts, Maruti 800cc. Even Maruti is known by Maruti 800cc itself. The time
they bring replacement for Maruti 800c, they would be known as Na-raha(Maruti)-Suzuki.
Sitting with my sister watching TV (to be clear, these are
actually rare and precious moments for me nowadays), I almost went into
depression when she told me that there might be a change in the name of
Chandini Chowk, it would be known as Sachin Chowk after Sachin Tendulkar (though
I should have felt good being the
biggest fan of the GOD), I felt really bad for Chandini Chowk because after all
it is Chandini Chowk! Same was with my sister, she felt awful too, though we
really go there. It’s like naming Amitabh Bachchan Bhagat Bachchan, after Bhagat
Singh. Doesn’t make sense does it? Still it gave a trivial pain in my heart and
I suppose you got scared too.
Please pardon me to
spoil your mood and I promise I won’t take long talking about it but cricket
and Team India, doesn’t it holds your life even after knowing it would not help
to cut down your burden of coding, management and everything else. They lose
and your whole day gets spoiled, they win World Cup and you consider that 2011
was the best year for you, I know I did!
So with these small emotions of your heart connecting you
with small things in life, I end it here and give you the true definition of ‘The
God of Small Things’…:P

Maruti Suzuki? I would prefer to brand Tata Nano as National Car!! :D
(You know why)
Yes, Chandni Chowk should be Chandni Chowk. Just as AB should not be BB!
E for Emoticons! Keep these small tit-bits coming.
