My son has a bicycle .. He walks to school I travel by public transport .. And I travelled byTrain in SL Class Shalimar to Trissur .. & back .. So I'm pb not mc ..am I rare specie ? @jay_ambadi ????????? Bwahaha <br />But I do travel by Flight on LFC & Official trips .. I eat beef with fork & knife .. I engage AC Cabs and I'm free to travel by bus/Metro / local train / cab' depending on my hurry / traffic position .. Sometimes I walk home .. 7 kms .. Because I reach faster rather than get stuck in a 2 hour traffic jam .. And I'm the most happy guy in my Official quarters .. They have to spend 15 minutes to search parking space & the driving tension :-)VenuSpeakhttp://twitter.com/VenuSpeaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908993162747549850.post-42929584165723017092011-10-03T08:15:12.646+05:302011-10-03T08:15:12.646+05:30I can so well relate to this and all too familiar ...I can so well relate to this and all too familiar story...enjoyed the read and something sure to think about ...<br /><br />@Bindu...Nice to see the long emotional comment, finally something more than 140 chars ;)Mahinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952734212746060819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908993162747549850.post-53872571719924106432011-10-02T15:07:25.546+05:302011-10-02T15:07:25.546+05:30With this blog post of yours..you have highlighted...With this blog post of yours..you have highlighted so aptly the extent of hypocrisy prevailing in our society especially in the middle class society..I know many such persons in and around me who just will not accept and admit about their prevailing financial condition and try their best to show off that they prefer such a humble lifestyle coz it is enough for them and that they are very happy with their present circumstances..well absolutely nothing wrong in being so if it is a reality..But then, these are the persons who baffle me with their behavior, when they get a golden chance in their life due to some good fortune stumbled upon in form of midas’s golden touch striking them, these are the very ones who will not leave a chance to show off their wares to the people around forgetting the previous condition of their life where this so called PB lived a hand to mouth existence.<br />Their humility and principles of leading a Simple down to earth Existence and complacency of Life and needs, take a toss and all of a sudden they look down upon such living as something detestable .. forgetting, their yesteryears of life..Hypocrisy at its peak eh ? PB becomes a thoughtless and self centred man !..humility and simplicity (which was never there before in their mind) was a mere mask..just to hide his status of helplessness due to dearth of money..Yeah there is no need to wallow in self pity or narrate to anyone around the meticulous details of how unfair Life had been.. to him..but then he should have continued being humble even when he attained a life of comforts and luxury which he may have got due to his hard work also..But this so called PB tribe don’t like to be so coz they always felt inferior of being far behind others’ who are financially very well off and have a name and fame in the society (Yeah the heart ached with jealousy) ..so the hypocrisy of being a simple humble human being who dislikes luxurious comforts of life is a thing of past and they change their lifestyle forgetting the principles which they falsely adhered to , only to adopt to them and to enjoy such a life of Luxury..they become boastful to the point of being obnoxious..snobbery takes place of simplicity..they start sneering arrogance at ordinary mortals like you and me..<br />Yes so true ! all of a sudden train journeys disturb my privacy..why not fly around which saves my time and gives my the luxuries of privacy and of course a sense of Pride of being a wealthy man too !!!<br />Well written..!bindu menonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17674455196300510544noreply@blogger.com
