An Experience!!!

The Mahindra AQ

The day had finally arrived of the AQ(AutoQuoitient) ,and we were wondering what the format would be like ,what the question would be like,who might the participants be ? and so the two of us , one a crazy auto lover , who has dedicated a blog and has a page too on social networking sites and the other who was interested in the event but was a little skeptical . so it was 15:45 when I just couldn’t wait to leave home ,yes I was a little excited & nervous since for the first time ever I was participating on such a platform .So I was at the andheri station ,and roaming around the the shops near the station and was surprised to see two shops by the same owner in the premises ,also was totally shocked to see two McDonalds right opposite each other ,when my team member called to ask are you on the right McDonalds or the left .(Mind you they were right opposite each other)….it was funny trying to explain to him where , so i stood between them . And then at 16:40 we left the station ,tried to get a auto rickshaw ,but just when we could not handle the rejection by the auto driver we realised to walk it ,and just when we reached the lane ,we saw a rickshaw willing to take us ,but on per seat bases ,so this time we rejected him when we were just 10minutes away ,but since it was already 17:00 and we really dint know where we have to go and we took the rickshaw finally to bhavan’s college ,and there we were ,the participants were all working people,engineers and passionate auto lovers ,and we were looking like the youngest ,we were the youngest and so the written round started and we were clueless ,such technical questions and we could just answer about 4-5 correct question out of 20 question . Yes we were disqualified ,and sat in the auditorium to understand what sort of questions are asked ,and the Q&A started the question made us think again are we really auto fans ?but,I was like ,we should at least try and take a goodie bag ,But couldn’t get close to it . This was an annual car quiz sort of an event ,which has been held for the past five year ,but for the past four year they were for the employee of the organiser ,its a popular Indian car brand and this year it was open to public ,so we had gone for the event.

 

London Trip!!!

The London was the most awaited Trip ,there Is surely something about London that drives you crazy ,but the transport connectivity of the buses,trains and the tube drove me crazy since It Is  planned so well that you can just find your way back home ,the only city that came to my mind after seeing there transport facilities was Mumbai since the Mumbai Local “Lifeline of  Mumbai where millions travel by every day .Only If the population could be controlled a bit the railways services could be enjoyed a bit more and if the roads could be better the buses could be enjoyed too .

And the second thing the weather its humidity just kills .

back to London ,the places in London too reminded me about one of my favourite games  during my childhood days and is still my favourite the monopoly that had mayfair ,park lane ,piccadilly circus to name just a few ,every time I  went to any place I would well remember the colour of  the cards .

London are known for the “Gora”whites but you could hardly see any there were mostly blacks for a moment I got confused whether I am in the UK or in a caribbean Island , no I am not being racist here but I am just speaking about an interesting observation .

Also There were hardly any places for the fish & Chips , only Pizza the Italian cuisine has taken over with so many Italian Restaurants.

Overall the Trip was amazing !!! Hope to visit Again soon .
