Just so that you dont feel it..
Think about ascending about 10000 ft over a period of six long hours. As you might guess, the roads are not according to high school geometry. This is in the foothill of himalayas, so it is only more winding. Now add a uncouth young 22 year old who does the driving for his living. He has to make his life interesting, and he would, by making his driving interesting. But, for us, the folks who were on that Tata sumo, it was not a welcome situation. I got pretty dizzy and even carried a headache for a long while. I am sure many of us felt nauseated and travel-sickness.
In comes Border Roads Organisation. Not only have they managed to build and maintain wonderful roads on one of the world’s most rugged terrains, but they have also added a pinch of humour and ingenuity. Now, when that comes from a Indian central govt. organsation, you just gotta love it. ( The last time I was shocked and surprised in a similar situation was when they launched irctc )
We just found this diary on which we had managed to write down some of the funny quotes on our way from Kalimpong to Sikkim. Here they are,
Thanks BRO. Sikkim was fun and so were you. Keep up the good work.
well..whatever
| Your EQ is 120 |
 50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you’d have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You’ve got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You’re average. It’s easy to predict how you’ll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities – you’ve either out “Dr. Phil-ed” Dr. Phil… or you’re a dirty liar. |
