Today is my second day in Hyderabad and I want to narrate one harsh incident that came my way. As a part of my joining formalities @ MNC, I went for medical tests @ Medinova Diagnostic Center, which is at Somajiguda.
At the morning 10:15, me and my buddy Hitesh started from the gayatri lodge,Ranigunj. As directed by the lodge boy, we boarded the bus 49M and reached punjagutta.
At punjagutta, we both had a “feel good factor”, as we had discovered a nice place to hangout on weekends in the new city: “Hyderabad Central Mall”. But the second thought that struck our mind was, “How to reach somajiguda?”.
We asked a few hawkers standing outside the mall, to guide us to somajiguda. But our discussion with each one of them came to an end with these couple of words from hawkers : “Hindi raadu”(We don’t know hindi). Finally we approached the traffic cops for help which sounded somewhat like this…
Me: Bhaiya yeh somajiguda kaise jaane ka?
Cop: Auto mein baitho aur begumpet airport jao..
Hitesh: kya?
Cop: Hindi nahi aata kya?
Me[with smile]: Sir hame somajiguda jaana hai to airport ke liye auto kyun?
Cop: Airport jao aur wahan se flight lo jo sidhi somajiguda jaati hai…
[Me and Hitesh started laughing and could make out that fellow was either drunk or not in the mood to answer. Then also we stood there for a while hoping that he will help us and I started the conversation]
Me: Sir, kaun sa bus jayega somajiguda
Cop [Angry]: kitni baar bolne ka ki plane se jaane ka….samaj mein nahi aata kya?
So, me and Hitesh came to conclusion that its just waste of time to be asking him at all. We finally boarded an auto and reached the destination…
So this incident really got me thinking,
"Because of few people, our motherland’s values and virtues are being tainted. ...... :( "
