There's this song by Dr.DRE called "I need a doctor "(featuring Eminem).The very last line of the song says"and as I pack my bags and leave,you will scream dre don’t leave us like that".Well this song has nothing to do with the post.("okey, now you guys are pissed off, first of all you 'll be wondering'who starts a blog with a mention about a song? And then, on the very third line says the song has nothing do with it'.Some of you must have also had shake of their heads and said" dude ,u do need a doctor ….probabily a pyschiatrist :P" ).Well before you guys shift your 'judging mind' set from 'sarcastic' to 'dude im gonna nail you':P, lemme find some thing to which I can relate this song .uhhhh…ya see first of all, a 'doctor' is a big part of my life ;)…nonono not the psychiatrist.,some other one. Second one is ,couple of days ago I did pack my bag and leave out on journey.ya, it was a journey to meet this doctor too.See now I have made some relations with the song,so since we've come this far.,why don’t I take you through the journey ,…(don’t worry ,will take you guys out on a all expense paid trip") .
Well it all started and I was having a beautiful dream and suddenly I hear my name followed by a "*$#$@$@#$"!!!!!!!,get up ,u r gonna miss the train again"!!!okey that was ma roommate ,how considerate!!!" :P And I was half wake and was in no mood to wake up. So he.. said 'u got almost a cross country journey man….the doctor". Its been the strory of my life relly,waking up late and missing trains.seriously!!!( theres this one movie dialogue ,bald vin diesel sayin"u win by an inch or u win by a mile…winning is winning"!well I neva believed it untill this one time I missed this train by almost an inch .chased it., couldn’t make that jump….. :p).well lets stick to the script . So that mrning I jumped from the bed, got ready in 15…,and set out on the chase….and with one prayer on my mind" indian railway daivangale…train late aavane :P). So as usual I missed the train :) so I had to reschedule.i was at ernakulam town. And I had to travel till manglore and from there a 12 hour bus journey to almost the other side of karnataka. I had to reach manglore before 9 to catch the bus.so I asked this seriously luking, seemingly angry guy on enquiry section about ma chances of making it before 9.he just gave me look so stern as if I was dating his daughter :p and said "NO"!!just plain "NO"!!! So I made ma mind to try the connection train .And as I walked back ..i saw this board "indian railways,!!!serving customers with a smile"…and first thing that came to ma mind was that guy at enquiry section :p !!! How true !!!...so let me cut down the details and put it this way .. I had to catch three train to make it to manglore. First one from ernakulam jn to calicut..,then on a local passenger till kannur ,then another tain frm kannur till mangalore. And I reached mangalore in time. It was all mixed emotions really…!!! Relief of making there in time., then this difficulty in realising that I had to switch between three train to make it !!im not sure if anyone before me had to do that…but I can bet my whole fortune that I should be in the top five " missed the train and screwed up" list of all times!!!
So, its mangalore,and first thing you notice is the language. Boy, they shout every single word. Literally screams at you.my first experience was at this hotel ,I walked in so damn hungry.i was waiting for a minute or two when the waiter showed up and he shouted at me. I was off guard.my mind was just trying to analyse the situation and the reason why this guy must be so pissed off. I was wonndering " well actually whoteva that guy said it seemed like a verbal threat, or did he abuse ma dad ? It certainly sounded bad:P or did he mistake me for some guy who borrowed money from him and never gave back?...my imagination was running wild when this waiter pointed to the menu board and gave me questioning look !!! That’s when I got it ,so my boy !,that’s how you ask…uh I mean, how you scream "what would you like to eat" in kannada"!!!:P phew!! Next phase was at prepaid auto stand. I had to go to this place called "kodiyal bail" so I said as it was written. This guy asked questioningly "hu
Yyu ve"??....nothing came from his mouth it was flactuation of air that came from his nose that made the sound similar to the one I mentioned…:p I don’t know,may be kannada should be talked through nose…:p I didn’t know all this ….so I kept repeating this kodiyal bail and that guy kept on playing symphnony through his noise… we had this argument going for a while (" the scence can be related to the pink pather 2 where the detective and the assistant argue over the shampoo named "jojoba" but pronounced hohoba ":P)and finnally I gave up..,I was like"godamn it take me somewhere ":p so that’s how I reched the bus stop and I got in to this lovely volvo sleeper bus and literally blacked out….seriously i couldn’t take any more . :P :P
The next thing I remember was, it was around 6 in the morning , I slowly came in to my concience and realised that I will be reaching the place in about an hour and meeting this doctor very soon .i was all excited .so I just decided to take a view of the place around .so I stared out of window and this is all I saw. It was beatiful. I mean long green field, I mean I have seen it on tv, but this was for
real. Don’t know wot crop they grew, wot eva it was it lovely.theres was one or two houses and small shops in between.and theres sumthing really funny about them. The whole house was painted with advertisement.mostly mobile operator ads coated the house. There was idea house, airtel house and docomos,realiances …everything.!! And one house was painted half by airtel and other half by uninor…lol!!!and the most outrangeous one I saw was the one which was painted reliance petroleum and reliance mobile…. That’s anil and mukhesh ambani's firms.so literally speaking " This farmer got both the brothers under one roof.something even their father could not :P :P lol.then about these farmers…they are eco friendly!!! Now you will be wondering how I could make that out from a bus? Well I cant elobarate on that.by eco friendly I mean ,they gave a lot back to nature…. I mean I saw this one farmer in early morning on the paddy field with one big cup of water…..well that will do…. Lets just say they give a lot back to nature :P ;)…. So soon enough I entered the city , and here I am just minutes away from meeting the doctor… I will leave it here and come back on meeting with the doctor episode later. !!!! :P
PEACE!!!!!
