Think again!
If you think you are independent in all respects, think again. I used to always think I am not dependent on anyone and I can do everything on my own. That was until the other day. That day evening I was driving back home on the Koramangala ring road and I saw a truck on my rear view mirror. The truck was very close behind me and was trying to overtake me.
That moment it struck me how blindly I trust that truck driver. Not even a single moment I thought that the truck is going to hit me. I was driving at my own pace and he overtook me without a hitch. Then I realised how this world revolves around on blind trust and everyone is dependent on one another.
It struck me again while reading the killing of Russian ex-KGP agent through polonium 210 poisoning in a restaurant. In the olden days, the kings and the queens used to have royal tasters who would taste every food before it is taken by the kings and queens. That way if anyone tries to poison the royal family, the royal tasters would be the first to know about it. How many of you have hired tasters now? Do you get to know what all has been added in your food in the restaurant. You blindly trust the chef who prepares the food and the server who serves food.
You can see this blind trust in all walks of life.. your hair dresser, your car driver, the bus driver, the pilot… the engineer who built your house, if you don’t trust him, would you sleep under the same roof?
Think again!!

Back!
Wouldn’t say back with a bang because I have never been active nor a famous blogger. Not even sure if anyone would read this blog. Anyways, its been a long journey from home and sort of settled down in the new place and time to start all again
