Grand Theft Auto

The auto rickshaw drivers of the park circus region are a brand apart.Maniac's behind wheels, they drive their machines with extreme gusto and wanton disregard for their or their passengers' lives...i hero-worship them.
I could readily hold a wager with anyone, that had Schumacher been drivin
on Wellesley or Elliott Road(for non kolkatan's that would read...the worst roads on earth), he could have learnt more than a thing or two from them. Till only recently i have had no bones with them whatsoever...so the obvious question would be, why would i use the words "till only recently". Who or what could be responsible for my apparent disillusionment with them...the answer to this 64,000$ question is one cap-adorned, stubble-sporting jackass who seems to be driving all level headed people crazy...Himesh Reshammiya.
The "Theft" i'm talking about is of my peace of mind.When that Aashiq banaya number released i tried to write him off thinkin that he's just a one hit wonder(or in his case a blunder), a Milos Foreman or a Harper Lee maybe(mind u i'm just tryin to get across my one hit wonder point...i wouldn't for the life of me compare that stubbled bastard to Foreman or even Lee). Unfortunately however this guy is makin a habit of churning out numbers bearing that trademark nasal tone that somehow gives me the heebie-jeebies. My peaceful,serene,living-on-the-edge,brutally dangerous,immensely enjoyable auto rides have been turned into 20minutes of torture and severe auditory trauma. Even the wonderful conversations that we would have bitching about the government's incompetence at raising the price of petrol or failing to repair the roads, has been replaced by the humming of "ekbaar aaaaaaaaaaaajaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"...how i loath the guts and particularly the voice box of that man...
I have seriously started contemplating reading Catcher in the Rye and saving these poor auto drivers from that public enemy...time will tell.

its not an issue with auto-drivers only, add to that list CCD and, moderately, high-end restaurants of bangalore...thankfully the pubs have not yet taken a liking for him...we surely need a Mark David Chapman...

Heresy...utter heresy...what u said surely has Mukesh tossing and turning in his grave...in fact its not just heresy...comparing Himesh to Mukesh is nothing short of blasphemy...
P.S.:Suman, attack lebu.
