Today was differnt. Nothing seemed to be working, right from XML parser. Went to cricket practice in the evening and had had to return from there early, because had that important meeting with my manager. On my way back I was thinking that I don't have license, and now if I get caught will really have to run to office. Think about dreams coming true.. While I was thinking so and waiting for the signal to turn green, a police came and asked for my license. I did not have it, parked my bike at the police station, and literally ran to the office. Before leaving, the police reminded me to bring 100 bucks as the penalty.

I came back, made to that 7 o'clock meeting, found out that it got rescheduled. Went back to the police. When I reached there, one old fellow was arguing with the cop saying how he knows high post officers and trying to get rid of the fine. In this discussion I showed police my license and gave 100 bucks as the fine. This officer told that old man as how honest I was. He let that other fellow go. Then turned to me. He said that very few people actually give fine without hesitation, and he was impressed. He asked me what to do. I said, sir, this never happens with me, alll due to cricket practice I forgot my wallet. He said, ok I will let you go. I thanked him and came back. This was very nice of him. He could have easily got fine from me, I was willing to pay also, but in the end that was a nice gesture from him. I felt good.

Just like the smells, I think songs are also remniscient of things, places and people, memories in general. I was travelling from my home today and an old freind of mine was accompanying me. I showed him my mp3 player and offered to listen to some music. He promptly showed off his cool mobile phone and told me he also some music there. I was scrolling this collection, and found this song - "khamosh raat" from the movie Thakshak. I must have listened to that song for more than hour continuously today. It reminded me my trip to NC, when I was visiting my friend over there. He had this Thakshak CD in his car, and all the time in the road trip, that CD was played, that song in particular. Today when I listened to that song after a long time, all that time came back to me, like a flashback in a movie thanks to the song.

When I came to work, I asked my friends if they had this song in their collection, noone had. Another friend of mine in a different company worked hard to give it to me. And I am listening it.. Its a great song, I would like to have it in my repertoire :)
