drive defensively . buy a tank .

This will just save you from the unruly traffic , rash rickshaw drivers , the big potholes and careless P.M.T. drivers.

Just recently , I came across a different problem.Its easily classified into the "What if the Sun rises in the West?" OR "What if Gayatri is 'silent' ? " category.

Category Name::: C.A.- Completely Absurd.Very less probability of occurence.

"What if they fill diesel instead of petrol in your petrol driven CAR?"

This happened to Mom at the HP Petrol Pump opposite L.I.C. when our driver had asked for petrol worth 500 bucks , he filled in diesel.He gave my Mom a bill of Rs.500 petrol and thus the short 'diesel in petrol-car' ride came to an end just 200 metres away from the pump.Further NO FIGHT followed , cos we had the bill in hand and both the attendant and the petrol pump owner realised the impact of a simple written complaint to HP along with the bill.

I was woken up at 08:30am on a Saturday Morning , just to find that the petrol pump is willing to repair all the damages with the help of his mechanics under the vigilance of my driver.Also promised a 10 day free servicing if any car-work came up. ( So technically...I woke up , Went there , Heard his assuarances and went back to sleep . Not a word said !! I have always maintained that , If you want to Intimidate people...Donald Duck is more intimidating than I am . I am a peaceloving liar !! )

In IT terms , problems always have a 'workaround' to come to me and vice-versa. Nothing will help , not even Tanks.

P.S. - Yup , The car is working fine .
