And there are also some dudes here with a craze for anything on wheels. Their concern for even a colleague’s car will put the respective owner to shame. And they take care of their rides like it’s their sole objective in life. Cholesterol, fatty liver or poor fitness won’t shake them. But a rattle or a small scratch on the car will make them pull their hair out in frustration and they cannot relax till it’s dealt with on priority. Every once a while, our dudes will gather at ‘The Main Junction’ of the office and talk about cars. They will start slow, light and easy. But soon the banter will gather momentum and the talks will get animated, fast and loud. And every 90 seconds, a passerby or a rubberneck will try and join this conversation. But after listening in for a while, they will soon realize that it is almost impossible to contribute as the talks will start to go over the head resulting in him or her leaving the dudes at the Junction in a moment of silence and stare. Many such bewildering moments have occurred at the Junction in the past. An evening not so long ago Big Dude: “Guys, Stuttgart is the best these days!” Little Dude: “Stuttgart has lost it, they are kind of rolling out the same old models. Maranello is where the action is.” Pala Dude: “Bavaria! That’s the epicenter of handling. It’s no coincidence that Nürburgring is close by.” Lanky Dude: “Japan is coming back as well. I love the way LFA howls on mountain roads. And the Godzilla! Man, that thing moves like there is no tomorrow!” Handsome Dude: “Korea is catching up big. Genesis looks awesome!” Rubberneck: “Are we talking about geography or movies here?” A sudden silence follows and our dudes leave a cold stare at the unfortunate rubberneck, who looks back at his computer screen and opens an application. Another evening not so long ago Lanky Dude: “By the way, did you guys see how the LaF trounced the P1 and 918 in the comparo that Top Gear released?” Big Dude: “It’s amazing how the P1 rolls silent in complete battery power! Spooky it is.” Lanky Dude: “But it’s a plugin. LaF charges its battery on its own by regeneration. It’s so cool!” Pala Dude: “Coolest electric one is the i8. Nothing comes close.” Little Dude: “Tesla is ‘The One’ for electric power. Their design and calibration is mind blowing!” Handsome Dude: “I wonder why none has bothered to couple battery power for 4x4 action. All that torque will make it so capable.” Passerby: “Xiaomi rolls out the best spec for the most amazing price and it’s got great battery backup too.” A moment of Silence! And all our dudes are thinking to themselves: *** just happened? Stare follows! Soon after, the Passerby leaves the Junction towards the exit door. A Friday night not so long ago Pala Dude: “Yesterday night, I saw something out of the world. Was riding all alone after the second show at PVR. I reached Palachuvadu Junction and there was not a single human being or a car in sight. Suddenly, out of nowhere came a Ghost! It was huge, totally white in color, with a bit of dark red on the inside and was gliding over the road. Felt like it was not touching ground at all and sounded like the wind. I was like, ‘Oh my dear God!’ and stood there still. When it got near me, the Spirit of Ecstasy slowly rose up from under the hood. I was frozen at the sight, my heart pounding and all the hair in my body were standing up.” The Rubberneck gets up kicking his chair backwards and sweating profusely, runs from the junction screaming “Entammo!” towards the HR bay leaving our dudes bedazzled at the junction. After a few instances like this, our dudes genuinely wanted to move on from these moments of silence, stare, running for dear life and general awkwardness. And also the numerous official clubs at office left our dudes a bit embarrassed. It was like driving around in a car without a registration plate. So, one cold winter evening, our dudes decided to officially launch a club for all the petty auto talks that were happening at ‘The Main Junction’ of the office. Some of the names that has come up for this club are American Junction, Brake Dancers, Wolf Pack, K&K Automobiles, Hotrods, Pushrods, Petty Auto, Pad the mini, and so forth. They really want to take this club to other colleagues as they believe the forte of any club is really in the number of members it has. So, they have put forth a plan to enroll more likeminded members to strengthen the club. And after days of deliberation, they have come up with a set of guidelines for admission into the club! Get a hang of the following and brace yourself to join the chitchats at ‘The Main Junction’. And so it goes!
So, do you think you have it in you? |
