No this is not a plagiarist post on a Morgan Freeman's 1989 movie Driving Miss Daisy - although Bollywood's influence does make me Copy and Paste something but I will resist.This happened last week when I was driving through New York City - driving there is akin to driving in any big city - it is a reality show of survival of the fittest having patience and endurance.

This is a view from my apartment of NYC at night with the half moon in all its glory. Currently I am reading a book called Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino : There is a chapter Cities and Memories.

When tragedies strike like the recent events in Bombay - some of us get angry and some dejected.This is not a post about what happened and why it happened. These are questions that we have no control over. The common man today is trapped into a turmoil of HIS existence where he works daily to make a living - but the present and his future is simply a matter of statistics - both for the elected
