Train tragedy! ! OR comedy? ?

Let me retrace a few steps and tell you another story. This one took place around five years back. At that time i had AA in my life. That day we were returning from delhi. As usual we were waiting at platform number four of new delhi rail station. The train was supposed to arrive at 3.45 pm and leave at 3.50 pm. The train arrived. We both hopped into a compartment. Unfortunately there were no place to sit. Being a guy it was ok for me not to sit but she being a girl it would have been a problem. So i decided to get down and search for a compartment which has some place to sit. AA resisted this idea. I assured her that the train is supposed to stop for atleast five minutes and won't be leaving so soon. After a slight argument she yielded. I got down. And she followed. She had hardly got down from the train that it started to move along the platform. I was stunned. It wasn't even three minutes. I told her to jump back to which she blatantly refused. The train moved on. But this entire situation was so funny for me that i couldn't help laugh. This i realized was a grave mistake. She accused me of being a nonsensible guy, someone who laughs at everything and doesn't take life seriously. And trust me the more she shouted at me the more the entire situation looked hilarious. And i couldn't stop laughing. She didn't speak for the next few days.

My views on Reservation

Let me share my views on Reservation.
I think just like our constitution reservation is a must for BACKWARD CLASSES. Mind it its CLASSES. Nowhere in the constitution it is BACKWARD CASTE. Our great politicians, hungry for votes at all cost, have converted this CLASS TO CASTE. Else how can someone be sure that a general caste guy has more money than a scheduled caste one? My close friends belong to general class but his father has no job. They're living in hardships and still with good grades his chances of getting into a good job or even a college is far less as compared to the son of a jat ,who has made millions by selling his land, because that guy belongs to obc category. Unfortunately it is not a one off case. Even more amazing is the politics of north india where jats dominate. Every other household is a millionaire but wants a reservation. In the politics being played one has forgotten one simple stuff. Gulp this.
Out of 100 seats 50 are reserved for sc, st , obc an minorities. 20 to 30 percent for girls, physical handi capped people. Now that leave only 20 to 30 seats as unreserved. Which means a general category student can't get a seat from reserved category. But the vice versa is possible. Hence a general category student gets just 20 seats. This means we should now ask for minority status. And once caste census proves that general category population is less then we'll ask for minority status. At the end everyone will be a part of the big happy backward family called India.

My new office

My new office, Vikas Publishing House, is a nice place to be in. Centralized ac is the best thing i like here. But apart from that my news colleagues. Gira nanda, UK Sharma, shweta, ruchi, niketa, sanjana, nidhi, monika, parama, indrani, rajesh, pradip, saluja ji and jyoti ma'm. Apart from these people there are more whose names i keep forgetting. Anyways my work is getting more interesting as i'm going to single handedly deal with a few new books. Wish me luck.
