Soon with a license to drive, he was on his own with his small vehicle on the road..
“For a small family, this car is good enough. This is a simple model with no complex automated mechanisms in its operation, a base model where the AC, power steering, music systems are out and is the most economical in going round short distances. Daily, I move a few kms around my home for purchase of groceries and other essentials and go to the city for weekend outing..
The parking every where is very easy, smaller spaces on the road are good enough and we can easily push through dense traffic. Keeping the windows open while driving gives me a feel of traffic sense with vehicles all round, no music inside prevents the distraction of the driver and with no power steering, the light turn of wheel is not possible and thus the course of movement remains straight. This is enough for my use and comes through a life time..
Don’t want any sophistication, bigger vehicles and other mechanisms. This truly serves my purpose for a life!”
Thus were his thoughts of course backed by the ever haunting tension in mind of putting up with small roads, dense traffic and keeping in pace with other vehicles..
A typical state of mind of man when put on road straight away in mid 30s with limited back ground experience..
Few years rolled by, but the approach more or less remained the same, with little confidence gone into the mind. Many times, he used to say,
Few years rolled by, but the approach more or less remained the same, with little confidence gone into the mind. Many times, he used to say,
“Why to use the vehicle at all? Use the public transport as much as possible. That’s cheap and safe!”
No doubt, a great thought in life but should never be out of a fear of driving!
It so happened that the man had to go through certain additional family responsibilities in his life and in the process, had no go but be moving out every where. Initially he tried to do those works through other modes of transport but that did not meet his requirement as his works were too demanding and balancing between office work, personal responsibilities and resting was highly impossible. People simply looked at him as the man at wheel for all their works. Indeed, a ‘No Go’ situation. And whatever he wanted to avoid, could never do beyond..
Thus he was forced ‘Out’ often with his small vehicle!
His pace initially never matched with the other road users, his too much careful attitude came in their way of usual driving and thus he had to face their wrath on many occasions. Soon, it reached a peak and the situation in front was ‘Either do or die’ and as expected, do only finally won..
Thus on a fine day, he pulled out his vehicle with a totally new pace!
That, really worked wonders beyond and the experience was exciting and thrilling. The job was found to be not so difficult as thought of till that point of time..
Those precious days soon added into weeks and months and rolled on to a near half year..
The man found himself doing his best on the road, his confidence was totally up and
Soon a few comments on the mistakes of others and a few commands for the beginners along with some instructions for the car inmates were freely out..
It was really a high feeling..
A commanding feeling with an intention to help out in the right sense!

A year rolled by thus..
The man looking through his costly sun glasses was at the wheel of the latest model of.... A reasonably costly and sophisticated big car with almost every in built facility..
“It’s so huge. Very comfortable for 4 with so much space inside. The AC is really good. You can never compare the coolness inside with scorching heat outside on a real hot day. The music is very soothing on ears as one drives through at the back of the power steering and the automatic transmission with gearless driving. No doubt its cost is high. But worth paying the money. I already drove.... And
I love that driving for hrs and hrs!”
