Luna( Gymnas)tics

(Satyaghatana pe adharit)

Once upon a time, we were standing outside one of our friends' houses on the road and talking. We observed a young man (from some garage most probably) driving a kinetic luna (the vehicle my generation would be very familiar with). Suddenly, in the middle of the road, the seat of his vehicle dropped on the ground.

Since the luna wasn't going at the breakneck speed, he easily survived the fall without any injury. But now, he was presented with a very bad problem, how to continue his journey with the fallen seat? After some scratching of the head, he hit upon the idea.

He set the seat back in its place, sat in the depression between the petrol tank and the seat, and continued onwards...

We watched all this in silence, and then COTRL (collapsed on the road laughing)...


Here's some 3000 words which will give you a rough idea of what happened.



Now you know what your manager (or management prof) means when he says "thinking by the seat of the pants"...

P.S. Who knew my artistic talents stretched as far as creating comic strips.... Mwahahaha!!!!

The best part is the Heading you have given to the Post.. amazing!!

and yes, as some one said (don't remember who but was quite famous) that Indians are very good at 'Jugads'... a typical example..

the 3000 words was lovely too.. though i dont think that the big smile in the last 1000 words were there originally ;)

@Nikichan: Don't worry, I am careful. And these bikes rarely exceed 30-40 kmph at most.

@Keshi: Oh well, strange art the ways minds of humans work...

@Deepa: See the reply to keshi. That was the main reason in our collapse.
You didn't understand Bolly Bites? Check out the links, you will get it ;)

@Sid: Thanku :D The original title was minus the bracketed part. This was my "jugad" to fit a joke inside a joke ;)
Well, the big smile was my way of showing his "idea" moment... if we guessed his reactions properly, the words would have been unprintable ;)
