The fate of fiat

Recently, I drove upto the Spice Mall, which is right behind my office to catch a bite. I was walking towards the building in the parking lot when I noticed a little hyperactive boy dancing around an old pale-beige fiat (Premier Padmini). He hopped around and took a look at the car from all possible angles till his mother walked past. Here is the conversation that ensued:

Kid: मम्मी ये क्या है? (Mom, what is this?)
Mom: Beta, this is a Fiat.

Yea.. I saw one close to samachar the other day. The owner was reading a news paper on the rear seat, and the driver was struggling with the levers and cogs in the front.

Looked mighty stately though!

I'm just another face in the crowd. I have the same dreams as every other engineer in the country, the same lifestyle, the same aspirations. Yet, we all feel we are so different. Maybe we are, but we do little to prove it. We do little to live by our convictions, to share our thoughts. I'm trying to do a million things at once. Thinking about my future is more a habit than a hobby, and running an e-commerce website my present biggest obsession. Yet, on paper, I'm just another software professional like so many others.. doing a 11-5 (yeah, lovely timings) job. This blog is testimony to the fact that I may not get very far, like millions of others, but still, I'm different, and hopefully, I'll get around to proving myself.
