Today in the morning, while driving to work, I had to stop at a red signal. I was on my two wheeler observing others who had to stop in the rat race. There were many others on two wheelers, three wheelers and four wheelers. Almost all faces looked quite bored with the same routine life of going to work in the morning, getting stuck in traffic and deep breathing polluted air.
But there was one guy (a rikshawalla) who looked in complete contrast to the occasion. Neither did he look bored, nor frustrated with the traffic. He had an attitude of his own. He looked like some Bollywood hero who looks cool even in the most dull jobs. The reason he grabbed my attention was the way he had dressed and the way his body language was. He was wearing a bright red T-shirt and light blue jeans. He had a stylish black cap on and cool blue aviators (all this in an auto). Most stunning of all, he sported a pony which came out of the strap of his cap and a stubble to go along this dude look.
All of this happened in a matter of thirty seconds, until the signal permitted us to go. But I discovered in those thirty seconds, that when a person has that attitude to look cool and stylish, he can do it no matter what work he does. Even that ricksawalla looked much more impressive than many of us wearing formals and going to work.
