pizza free if not delivered within 30 min

imagine this:
Peter Parker is riding his 2 wheeler, he is in a hurry to deliver pizzas. he is short of time for his delivery trying to save people from adverse situations. he just has 5 minutes to deliver the pizza to the customer else the customer would not pay for it and Peter s employee might deduct it from peter's salary or verse even fire him( as he has lots of late delivery record ). now peter knows that if he has to be there on time he has to ride at the max speed which his bike allows him which is very risky not just for him but for others on road too. but with his supernatural powers he manages to ride it at max speed and reaches the customer's building without hurting anyone or getting hurt himself... he has only 30 seconds left and he has to go to the 10th floor... using his spider power he reaches 10th floor... but the customer is not happy with the delivery... says according to his watch peter has taken 31 minutes so does not pay...

this is an every day incident... n number of pizza delivery boys rip their bikes in order to avoid loss of pay when they miss the delivery time... they however do not have the super power that Peter Parker had(supposed to have). there by they not only risk their life but also the lives of all others who are on road along their path...

this whole idea of free pizza on late delivery is bad... so next time when you order for home delivery make sure that the delivery boy does not become a threat to his fellow-road-goers and to himself.

after all WE ARE INDIANS

we keep complaining about "transportation system in India", "political system in India" etc etc innumerable times each day.

but one really gets hurt when a foreigner complains about things in India.

and one certainly revolts when an indian complains about India and praises some other country.

because After all we are INDIANS...

one such incident occured in my 3rd semester of engineering.

we had a guest lectures(and amazing were his lectures). he was born in India but was teaching in the US of A since past 30 years.

so it is obvious for him to find the difference between the India he had seen 30 years ago and the India he saw now( i am not sure if he had returned to India in those 30 years).

and it is also obvious that he was devoid of facilities he had in the US.

he had lots to complain(the same things which we complain though)...

the traffic, the way people honk in traffic, the noise of crackers at midnight, the loud music that goes late night during some functions, the list goes on

he had an explanation for each of his complaints and all his explanations made sense...

but what annoyed everyone was the way he started... it goes this way: "in the US it is not this way....."

one day he started on corruption in the same tone he usually did..."in the US....."

the class would take no more insults against India... one student stood up and said "Sir US is one of the most corrupted countries".

one tiny spark

we have seen from our history what one tiny spark can produce...

a revolt from few "indian sepoy" turned out to be a fatal blow to the british east India company.

a "non violent march" jeopardized the british which till then believed "the sun never sets on the british empire".

the same spark has caused massive destruction of life in many places

this is the power of A TINY SPARK. all it needs is a mentor who can guide the spark to fire which has the power to build or completely destroy the society.

let us all try not to misuse this spark
