Aatadasaamanu :)

I still remember... how i bugged my dad when i was a kid to get me a toy.. ( a jeep basically)..
I seriously don't know why i wanted a jeep? I thinking really hard now to know why I always wanted myself to have a jeep as my toy? after thinking really really really hard I think this might be the reason...

When I was a kid one of my uncle use to come to Shimoga from Harihara in a Jeep. I always wanted to travel in that jeep.. But some how i had never got any chance to get a ride... (oh i forgot to mention when it happened.. I think these incidents happened may be when i was 1st or 2nd standard.. Those scenes are very vague but i'm trying my level best to reconstruct :) ). All the time my uncle used to come during school hours. He used to come in the afternoon  around 2 Pm and leave just before 5 i.e the time when i reach home from school.. (Harihar is hardly 80Kms from Shimoga) but that was a very far (farthest of distance i had traveled at that time) distance for me.. ( I was learning numbers at that time you know.. 80 comes after 1 2 3 ............. 80!!) :D

I always wanted to be a passenger in that JEEP :) (My uncle always had the habbit of bringing Jeep full of people... Jam pack.. after every one settle down inside the jeep.. not even an ant dare to enter the jeep... :D) adding to that, that uncle of mine was short tempered..!!! He never asked me a short ride!!.. Apart from that my dad used to threaten me saying he'll send me with him to his garage if i don't study properly... and ask him to hit me wit the spanner or screwdriver if i don't do the work properly.. So without any surprise i was very scared about this uncle...

But that Jeep always used to make me feel happy.. When ever i go near the jeep i used rotate around the jeep, checking each and every big parts visible.. It was a military jeep.. Green colored, sheet of cloth to covering the roof.. But fact about jeep used to feel appealing for me was its additional accessories... like the additional tire behind
and the digger, big head lights etc etc.. More importantly the tires.. those things use to look very big to me.. I used to rotate around that jeep as if i'm going to define a new value for infinity.. :) and at that time apart from bus, lorry and ambassador, jeep is the only other vehicle i had seen. My mom still recollects my desperation to get in to jeep.. She says i used to dream talk about jeep :D..So Jeep always had a special place in mind....
