So the other day I was riding in a public bus, and I realized
something that I cannot keep inside me, just need to blurt out. As usual, the
bus was over-flooded, mostly with around-19-year-old-looking-people-with bag on
shoulder and headphones in ear (I just cannot stop wondering what one does when
headphone just falls? I mean its not like you have space to move your hand or head
:P) So anyway, after halfway standing, I managed to jump on a seat. Just after
2 minutes, a handicapped (I don’t know if using that term is offensive, sorry
if it is) person stepped in and was standing. I offered him my seat, which he
took, and I went on to join the standing crowd again. Just where I was
standing, I suddenly saw something. It was written “Viklaag” above a seat right
in front of my eye and a 19-yr-something-with-headphones was sitting right
there in the fucking seat, texting simultaneously. By just the nature of me, I was
suddenly agitated. What the hell was that seat meant for? For a moment I was
tempted to tap his shoulder and say “Haan aapko jyada zarurat hai ‘viklaang’
seat ki”. But then I thought, wasn’t the handicapped person himself willing to
stand rather than ask him to stand up? Who will care when one cannot help
oneself? For the whole bus ride, I was thinking. This is some shit, some are
too ignorant to see that they should fucking vacate the viklaang seat when a
viklaang person is standing right there. Some are too naïve to ask for their
own right and others just do not care.
This blog is to pen down random thoughts, musings and sometimes even a well-formed non-random thought for the future AI to consume and train itself to think, communicate and work like me so that the coming generations are not deprived of a great mind :P (It took me 1 whole minute to think if the sentence should be 'coming generations ARE not deprived' or 'coming generations IS not deprived')

Just a bus ride!
I like to describe myself with couple of adjectives here - Deep thinker. Optimist. Happy. Logical. Jack of many trades. Confused. Eccentric. Creative. Stubborn.
I'm into product management and love to build beautiful things which makes people's lives easier.
