We are in an industry where experience counts.. and why only in IT ! it is appicable in every field.. but today something has happened which made me think that xperience ..could be deceptive !! ..
So the Story happens @ the railwy station @ Melbourne , date 22nd feb 2010 and time is 19:40 P.M. i.e. just to return from office.. I was witing for My train which was sscheduled after 10 minutes ..with nothing to do.. and with an i-pod in my ears I was just strolling at the platform ..as the time of arrival of train came close by . the crowd started gathering.. in between the crowd i saw a Very CUTE , BHOLI BHALI TYPE KI GIRL , who was coming towards the same platform as mine.( probably she also wanted to catch the same train like mine)..:P.. this made me a bit attenetive about my looks and manners..:D morever she was looking like an Indian ..but when she came loser it was clear from her accent that she is not !! .. anyways the story continues..so she cae clsoe to me and we both started to wait for the train.. Iwas in a full mood to take a seat close to her nce we would have setteled down ( and probably to start a conversation , IF luck permits;) ) .. ..but iwasn’t aware that what TWIST is going to come in next 1 -2 minute..
Now My previous Experience in SYDNEY reg the local trains has taught m follwoing things : -
1) NEVER be in a hurry…
2) LET the automaticDoor open ( please read this point carefully ) : and let the ppl who want t get down at this station get down first..
3) Let the women and children enter first , than as A gentel man go inside..
with my these EXPERIENCES .. i was all set to go my battel.so the Charo=iot ( the train came ) .. and we were all preapred.. me and that madam were by chance standing at the door itslef where the train stopped.Keeping the points number 1,2 ,3 mntioned above ( spl 2 &3 ) .. I stepped aside.. and let that madam stand in front of the gate.. Iwas now waitign for the door to open and to enter AFTER her.. but my tough luck !!! here came the turn !! :’(
when the Train came.. and I stepped aside in order to take her the action..to enter the train.. she looked into my EYES .. as if she is demanding.. I just gave a smile . she again looked at me.. and kept staring .. now thisWas an ALARM TRIGGER..i just thought what has happened.. !! by this time she gave me an ” PHEW ” kinda look .. shook her head in a slight “no hope” type condition , STEPPED froward .. and OPENEd THE TRAIN GATE .. !! :O
I was shocked by the incident which just has happend.. i.e OPENING of the Gate… , I had no idea that trains in Melbourne don’t have the AUTOMATIC DOOR system and had to be opend manuallY ! .. I just stood there shocked , but some how i managed myslef and entered into the train, the girl gave me A final look of ” what a dumbo person !! as if travelling for The first time in the train ” kinda look.. and took her seat.. ppor chap me.. just 5 mins back i was thinking to grab a seat close to her.. but this act of mine ( or rather her ) which was supposed to be done by a chivalrous man !! has changed the equation , i was just trying to find a seat which WAs 180 degree opposite to her and by nochance i oculd come in frnt of her,.. finally MY stop came and i went down , this TIMe my door Getting opened by MYSELF only…!!
So I ’sincerely suggest ppl that plzdo not go JSUT BY your EXPERIENCE.. take a trust on your instincts and do go for some thing jo ‘DIL KAHE !! ..
thanks
