its a "bumpy" ride!

i asked daddy to be "is it showing now, the bump?". from there somehwere now our baby to be is called Bumpy, very fondly and affectionately! :)

Bumpy, i think is doing just fine! i am trying to eat and live healthy. Actually eating 2 fruits in a day, the earlier average being once in 2 months. Take a lot of rest. Not eat out too often. And an assorted to do's and not to do's.

The only trouble Bumpy might be experincing would be bumpy roads in Bangalore. I have been taking call taxis (Cel Cabs) everyday 'coz doc has ruled out autos and my dear ol' two wheeler Dio! They can be quite a pain these taxis! I have been calling em almost for past 2 months, yet almost everytime there is a new driver! And finding our house is a herculean task for most. I keep teling the call centre guys, i need a driver who understands either Hindi or English, least as couple of words stringed types.

But to no avail. Just today he calls t 845 and says he will be there at 915, the time i have called the cab! doesnt ask for any directions, so stupid me, i assume he is a repeat guy n knows the ghar. Then he calls at 910 ASKING for directions! Inspite of giving them, he reaches same vague place which is landmark in their database!!!! (arre then why do u call n take directions???) Gee!

anyway we reach the point where he is waiting, and by then i am half n hour late and very upset. I try to calm myself down for Bumpy's sake! The weird habit these guys have is they say OK to everything you say. If you tell them two opp directions in the same breath, they will STILL say OK! And you will never know what they have understood. Its a peculairity of local cabbies n even bank sales guys here!

still remember an occassion where one of our cousins was calling a guy from a big bank. He says "Are you coming fromDiamond District side or Martahalli side?"
The bank guy "OK, sir."
He says "What ok? Which side are you coming from?"
"OK Sir." (DUH!!!)

Finally he reaches IBM office and calls "Saar, I have reached your office."

Cousin is a doctor who DOESNT work with IBM. Kya funda hai, pata nahi!

Now how does one explain the meaning of OK?? Gee!

Maybe things will be betta by the time you are here Bumpy, OK??!! :)
