Dust Thou Art, and Unto Dust Shalt Thou Return

( Have been observing this truck standing in the same position since I've moved to Pune - it's been a year now and this truck hasn't moved. It's slowly decaying and now sinking into the ground as the municipality labourers come every week to dig up the road surrounding it, in an 'effort' to broaden/improve the road. It's been an obsession of mine for a long time now...)

imagine some day when we will be history, this truck will be dug up by archeaologists and how they will spin stories about it! ;)

my cableguy is such a meanie, he had put vh1 earlier but only for a month. mtv shows vh1 late at night and luke kenny at v plays nice songs too but vh1 is the best!

May be they can give it a fresh coat of paint and landscape the surrounding and make it into a piece of city art of somekind.It'll sure be fruitful.

By the way you've been book-tagged.I know it's a disease

maybe its the municipal corporation's brainwave of letting people know that they have been busy laying new roads - maybe the truck is their marker :)

Parth - Couldn't resist could you? ;-)

Gulnaz - LOL oh yeah I can just imagine that - they'd be quite horrified at the kind of transport used 'back in those days'!
Oh VH1 i just a boon these days - I've been basking in it. It's such a relief not having to tune into music channels post 11 pm in order to hear some good music!

Akshay - Now that's an idea!! Would defi make the area more popular and not seem like the back of the beyond ;-)

Phal - Yes ma'am - coming online after nearly 2 days...shall do as you bid ASAP! ;-)

Srini - Heheh yeah you got a hope in hell. If they do make decent roads down here, I'll hand out laddu-pedas to everyone I know..actually I'd rather just get outta here quickly!
