Car owners chronicles.
Ever seen cars on the road with names written on the back. Those names vary car to car and person to person. The names can be anything. It can be the name of the car or the owner or whose ideologies the car supports or the workplace of the owner if he’s a government servant. Some people write the names of their gods, deities. These names decide the tax paid the vehicles. These names are also a marketing strategies. These cars also act as LinkedIn for a few people. If someone has forgotten, by chance, that he’s on trail and he’s roaming around, so there are some cars where it’s written, with the symbol of justice, Lawyer.
I mean it can be anything. You can’t say. I was new to the colony and my neighbor parked his car and it was written JAI SHRI RAM,I as a kid just went to him and said JAI SHRI RAM. To which he was like yeah but it’s name of his three sons. We get to learn that car back windshields can also be your resume. Just write your profession and add unemployed. Like Engineer unemployed, MBA unemployed, Gangster unemployed. Third one is a direct application to be a politician.
People also use the car to advertise the same car for sale, while being in the same car. It’s like eating butter chicken in front of a non-lover who’s suffering from diarrhea. They roam around with a printed sheet written “FOR SALE”. Like everyone was waiting for that one car, the one car they always wanted to buy, the Maruti Suzuki Esteem. People with no self esteem buy it. I would rather watch my money burn than buying that car.
There are people who use it as a store room, especially Indian housewives. If their home is a mess, the stuff is dumped into the trunk. Instead buy a garbage truck, no need to keep them in house instead keep them in the garbage truck only, best.
We also see people use it for travelling, to get day to day stuff like groceries and vegetables. Such long distances need a car to cover them. A small lane having vegetables vendors on both the sides, people take in their cars and then complain about traffic. It’s like calling for an ambulance while being in an ambulance.
Sometimes it’s a second hand car and the new lazy owner hasn’t removed those names or stickers, so people are pulling up and asking him for being their lawyer. New owners are getting calls to sell the already sold car with the same technique.
You know what it’s on every vehicle. My uncle owns a Jaguar. He has LIC because he works in that company. What a marketing strategy. He keeps it 3 days a week and the rest of that it is taken by some other employee. What a strategy man! Respect max!!So we visited his place as he was going through a divorce and I really really wanted to ride that Jaguar. But it was only possible if uncle won that custody case. I prayed more for my uncle more than I prayed for myself during my exams.
Uncle lost the case and he was kind enough to take me and my dad for a ride. Can’t imagine what he must be going through but when my dad asked him how did he meet the lawyer. To which he said he was on the Mumbai-Pune expressway and saw a lawyer’s vehicle at the toll plaza.
