Self Certification


I was rushing to drop my son for his SSC examinations (10Th Standard). It was getting delayed and I was negotiating my huge car like a member of the Schumaker family. I am a very conscientious driver and would like everybody to follow the rules of the 'game' , err ! road.

But the area where I stay happens to be the "most hazardous road" of the world to drive a powered vehicle. So that makes me a foul person spitting four to ten lettered epithets every 10 secs while I am driving. My wife enjoys to sit in the rear seat just to avoid hearing my chaste phonetics.

In the midst of the whole drama, my attention was caught by a 3 wheeler auto rickshaw. The rear of the rickshaw was written in bold letters " CORRECT METER". It suddenly struck me that it was brilliant piece of advertising. The driver of the auto had hit the right chord in today's world of consumerism where every body demands the correct service for the value paid.
No wonder if tomorrow we happen to see name plates displaying "Real Soldier","Skilled Doctor", and "True Father".
So much for the auto driver !!!!!
