49.0 What Ancient Greeks Knew About Taxi! That You Still Don't. It is An Identified Flying Object. Lol...

Secrets Exposed! As there are memorable experiences with Taxies, I thought to share some "Taxi" incidents with you. Most of the stories were nice to remember. It is nice to remember some incidents, and I can remember that I have shared such details with my friends and family members.
 

Out of those many fun things, there were a few bad memories too. Sometimes, you also can learn something via the bad memories I had. I think this would help you to think about Taxi journeys more carefully while enjoying most of the incidents.

However, though there were many different memories and incidents, I used "Taxi" for my office tours. I went to the office by a Three-wheeler and used the same transport method to return home. If there are any office meetings, I used to go there with a mini Taxi car. So, I faced for various experiences, when I was going to and fro by a three-wheeler. There are lots of memories regarding the three-wheel journey. I would like to start with an incident which happened when I was going to the office.

Time Management! As I had to bring my laptop every day, I did not go by bus. It was the main reason for me to avoid buses. Apart from that, I could reach the office shortly by a three-wheeler. Most of the time, I did not have enough time to go by bus. I had to manage my journey within twenty to thirty minutes. Therefore, most of the times I could not call a cab service, wait and go.

So, I just went to the road and stopped a three-wheeler that is running for a hire. That was the most suitable quick and effective mechanism for my lazy lifestyle. However, I'm not recommending that method for you guys and you can see why is that by reading the next few paragraphs.

Therefore, I could not use one three-wheeler for office transport. Though my parents also asked me to use a three-wheeler that I know, I could not do that as I could not leave the home at a particular time. It was not possible with that three-wheel driver as he had some other fixed hires with his clients. Therefore, I went with him once he was available. Because of these bad habits, I did not select the particular driver and I just went by any taxi three-wheeler which was passing me. 

One day, I was in a super hurry, and I asked a driver to stop the three-wheeler by giving a hand signal when he was passing me. At that time, I was waiting to cross the road. So, he could identify that I was late to work. But he did not ask anything, and I also did not ask him to reduce the speed. But his observation was correct. I think the way I stopped the vehicle would make him come to that decision. I think he has good Decision Making Skills. Lol...

Therefore, he put his maximum effort to go quickly. He put maximum speed he can put in his vehicle and drove fast. He had a zig-zag driving style when he was trying to avoid some vehicles. He did not forget to blame some drivers. He disappointed with their driving skills. However, the others also would blame this guy, as he was also a careless driver. 

However, his behavior was not a joke to me anymore. There was a railway crossing. A few seconds before closing the railway gates, he passed the railway crossing immediately saying "we would have to wait for five to ten minutes if I could not go before closing the gate". 

Boost Confidence! I think it was a big victory as a driver. It increased his confidence level though it was a crazy nut thing. He laughed weirdly. I did not have any words to say and I also just agreed with him like a dummy. But it digested my entire breakfast, and I thought that it was my last office journey. Lol... I just imagine the other drivers' reaction to his foolish action. I know, they would blame this guy with harsh words definitely. Luckily, I could not hear anything as others have stopped their vehicles by obeying the rules.

Finally, we reached our destination. He said "See, Madam. I could bring you to the office on time. You are lucky to have drivers like us. You won't come here shortly with another driver except me. Hah hah ha....". I think it was a good start for him though I started my day with an adventure. Lol... As he thought that he did a good job, he wanted to take the office transport job for the entire week. So, he asked my time schedule for next weekdays saying "Miss, I can pick you from the same location at the same time if you wish". I said that I'm coming by bus on other days".

Bad Habit! Another day, I came with another three-wheeler taxi as usual according to my bad habit. Here, I would like to highlight this as a bad habit as I don't want to recommend it via my article because of particular reasons. Later on, you will understand. 

So, as usual, I got on to the vehicle and provided the route details with some short cuts. He was also happy with the route as it was a short cut that does not show in the default map. It was a route that is going through a private road. Though a few boards were stating that it was a private road, many drivers used it as a short cut. I also breached the rules to go to the office quickly.

He was listening to songs when I was getting on to the vehicle also. It was like a musical show. So, in mid of this sound, he talked with me with his maximum high pitch voice. As that sound was a disturbance to his topic, I thought that he stopped his musical miscellany. But it did not happen. Therefore, I politely asked him to reduce the sounds. 

He laughed and told me that "I was a bus driver, miss. That is why I need to listen to songs with high volume. That high sound volume gave me joy and energy". He reduced the volume a bit for the sake of the request. It was an annoying noise for me, and all the singers were weeping for their lost love. I don't know how does that guy energized with such songs. Sometimes, other breakups would make him happy. Crazy... Lol...

48.0 Do Eyebrows Sometimes Make You Feel Stupid? No More Mistakes With Eyebrows.

The very first time I went to a salon for a facial cleanup for one of my friend's wedding. At that time, there were no pimple issues or patches on my face. However, there was a beauty procedure for both the bride and her friends. I was her bride's maid, and that preparation time was an enjoyable time for our gang. It was a new experience. Clean Up Is Fun! 

We helped her to arrange some stuff like cakes and cards. Apart from all, the dressings and beauty stuff managed via one salon. So, our bride got various instructions for beauty improvements. Meanwhile, she pointed out some of our beauty issues as well, and it impressed us to think about our beauty. 

At that time, I have not shaped my eyebrows though my friends and cousins also threaded their eyebrows nicely. Though they asked me to do that, I gave up as it was a painful thing. So, it was the main request of the salon owner. She wanted to shape it. However, finally, I agreed with her for the sake of my friend's wedding. So, she threaded one eyebrow very slowly, and it was a painful thing at its first time. Therefore, I did not let her go for the next one after completing one eyebrow. 

Trim Eyebrows! Though my friends blamed me, I requested some time gap. However, she was kind enough to consider my request, and I had a weird look with the original eyebrow and shaped eyebrow. Lol... However, the final look made me happy. Everyone said that it lighted up my face. I also thought that I would do that early to have that look. Actually, that new look could give me a new year's dawn feel. Hah hah ha... 

After that, I used to thread my eyebrows once it has grown up. As I thought that it was not neat to keep a grew eyebrows, it was a very essential beauty thing to do for me. I think it is growing like a jungle after shaping it one time. Then you cannot get rid of that job, and it would be a mandatory beauty task to do. So, once I went to that salon for eyebrows threading, all the time that lady asked about upper lips. She wanted to thread those as well, though I have not much-grown hair on upper lips. However, I could reject her suggestion kindly. 

One day when I was waiting for my appointment, one girl came for eyebrows threading. She wanted to thread both eyebrows and upper lip area. She was fine when threading eyebrows. Perfect Eyebrows! But tears were coming out like a water tap when she was threading her upper lip area. I thought that why did she bear up that much of pain, even for her beauty. As well as she did not have hairy upper lips. I think sometimes our mind wants some unnecessary expectations. There was one of my friends who had hairy upper lips like a boy. As she had very fair skin, it highlighted well. However, she also did not want to thread it. She kept it as it is those days.

I think the shape of eyebrows could change the look of your face up to some extent. I had to believe that once I went to another salon for threading. As it was a famous salon in our area, I did not have any doubts about their service. So, I went there to shape my eyebrows. The only advice I'm giving to salon guys was 'don't make it too thin. I don't like that artificial look. So, I just wanted to keep the shape by removing the additional. So, she agreed with me. She was not like others. She had a procedure. 

The salon I went to other days did not take much time for threading, and it was a quick job for her. Sometimes she was careless. She did not apply any cream prior to threading. So, most of the times I applied a lot of cream in the eyebrow area before going to that salon. But here, it was different. I could say that she cared a lot.  First, she cleaned the eyebrow area using a mild cologne. Then she applied a cream and massaged gently. As she was taking time again, I remembered my request 'don't make it too thin. She agreed again, saying 'sure. I will only remove the additional.

How To Fill In Eyebrows? Lol... Finally, she started threading. Not like the other salon owner, she used a tweezer instead of thread. Meantime she answered some phone calls from other customer appointments. I did not feel angry or anything about her phone calls. But I worried about my eyebrows. Can she concentrate on my work while hanging on with her friends? That was the only worry, I had on my mind at that time. 

Apart from phone calls, she went to the counter to get the payments of other customers who finished. So, I had an idle time from time to time. To cover all those tasks, she got more than fifteen minutes, I think. Finally, she said that the job was over by giving a hand mirror to me. Furthermore, she said that she just removed the additional without making it too thin. Once I looked at, I got to know the weird status of eyebrows.

However, it was late to say something or scold her as it was already done. After that, for any emergency, I did not change the salon I went to threading. One time I stayed for more than six months with the grown eyebrows once that salon's lady went for training overseas. I waited for her. Apart from me, many friends I knew waited for her without going to other salons if there were no emergency requirements like hair coloring.

At that time, I thought that the quality of the service is good enough to keep the customer base. Customer Returns! Actually, her customer retention was very high. So, once she came, it was not easy to make an appointment. I had to wait for another few days. But I did not select another salon because of that bad experience. Lol…

Groom Eyebrows! One day when I was waiting for a bus at the bus stand, I saw a boy who had a nice face. I observed something different on his face, and I thought that what could be the thing that gave that kind of attraction. So, after looking at his face for two to three times, I noticed his eyebrows. He could shape it by keeping his gent's personality too. That was the main point I observed. 

Finally, he noticed my observation. When I was looking at him again, he raised his eyebrows a few times. I think he acknowledged that he had threaded eyebrows. It made both of us laugh though we did not know each other. It was a Monday morning, and I was on the way to the office from home. I think that "Monday issue was the main reason for that weird behavior. Lol...

 

47.0 The A - Z Of Pimples...Doctor's Treatments Or Salon's Advice?

Worst Haircut! As a child, I went to a salon for a haircut, and that was the only purpose. Though there are many haircuts for children today, those days we did not have many options. Mainly there were two types. You can cut your hair very shortly as a boy, or you can cut it till your neck.

Though the second type was most suitable for a small girl, my parents preferred to go to the first option. As per their view, it was a convenient haircut for me. My sister also had the same haircut, and we looked like boys in our school era. However, we did not think much about it as many friends had such short hair like us. So, luckily, we did not highlight as aliens.

Most of the time, we visited a salon for three to four times per year for our hair cut. Every time we went there with my father or mother. Those days I was so scared of scissors and razors. I thought that they would cut my ears and hurt my eyes. Therefore, I closed my eyes when they were cutting hair near the forehead area. However, I liked the smell, they have. The air fresheners they used were some nice stuff except their tools. As my parents always applied oil to my hair most of the time, they washed my head. That was the worst thing I hate it as a kid. I did not like to have a bath in their salon though it was only a head bath.

Haircut Gone Wrong! When growing up I went to salons with my friends who also had short haircuts. Those days I loved that as it was an enjoyable thing with friends. Not like these days, we did not take appointments for haircuts. We just went and waited for our time. So, we always had a waiting time, and we used that time to read the magazines available in the salons for their customers. 

So, we went through the images of different hairstyles.  Some of them were crazy and we did not forget to criticize those images. Though there were many attractive hairstyles, I used only one hairstyle during my school era. Those days it was known as 'Diana cut as it looks like the haircut of Princess Diana. However, I did not have many layers like her hairstyle as my one was very short.

My friends also had the same situation, and they also did not select a different hairstyle. When I was thinking about a new style, two things came to my mind. I compared it with adherence to school and my parent's rules. So, most of the time, the new styles breached the rules. However, some friends were fearless to have new hairstyles though it broke the rules. They did not change their new look though teachers have threatened them. Actually, they looked pretty with those hairstyles, and we always thought that our school rules need to be changed.

After the school era, Salon was not an essential place in my life. My hair also grew with me, and I did not want to go to a salon. Facial and skin beauty cared for by my mother's home remedies. However, those days my entire face has affected with pimples and patches. Beauty Queen! Hah hah ha... So, I could not apply cream or cleansing as per my wish. 

Therefore, those days I tried to cure my pimples and patches. Some of my friends, my sister, and some cousins also faced the same situation. So, we all discussed solutions and medicines they used for their treatments. It was one main problem we had. But I did not take the support of salon consultants as doctors specifically asked me to avoid various beauty products. However, I had to go there when I wanted to change my hair with layers or something. At such times, I had to listen to their lectures, and they saw my face as a disaster. They suggested many beauty products.  

Beauty Advice! The owner of such a salon was a young girl. Once I went there, I saw that she was worried about a few pimples she had on her face. So, once she told me her concern, I asked "didn't you use that product for pimples? Then she said "no, dear, I'm going to visit a skin specialist for treatments. I was wondering. Lol... 

So, I thought that the doctor's decision was correct, and after that, I stopped using any facial cream. At that time, I was using one salon's product, and I got it from one of my cousins. The price of that cream was also a bit expensive. Though it showed good results, I stopped it after knowing the decision of that beautician. I consulted a skin specialist for a few years for pimples as I thought that other beauty opinions were not good enough for the bad status of my face. My sister also visited the same doctor after a few years once she also faced similar issues. He was a well-known and famous skin consultant. 

Many patients consulted him for their skin-related issues. On the very first day, he asked me to describe my problem, and the remedies I applied. So, I explained my list of items, and there were many.  Additionally, I told him that I steamed my face every evening. He listened to all carefully and asked me to stop everything. The entire effort was useless in from of his advice, and that’s what I felt.

One day I visited an Ayurvedic doctor for Phlegm, and those days also there were many pimple patches. After recommending a few medicines, he looked at my face diligently. So, I thought that he would give me another advice like others. But he was different. 

He asked 'don't you look at your face via a mirror. At that time, I could not stop my laugh. But I could see my father's reddish face. So, my father added many things to answer that question, though I did not supply an answer. Additionally, he explained the treatments I had from different doctors. He pointed out that none of them could help my problem as I tried to pop them via my nails. I thought he felt shame about her daughter (Beauty Princess). Lol…

46.0 Top 10 Lessons About Evening Walks & Observations. Learn Before You Hit 40.

Evening Walks! As I have mentioned a few incidents I faced during my evening walk, I thought to elaborate it further. Those days I used to walk a few days to keep good health. This was scheduled after office hours. Normally, I used a bus or taxi to come back from the office.

So, when I wanted to walk, I came back by bus as I could get down from the bus and walk a few miles. Though I could do the same when using a taxi also, it did not work as it was a comfortable journey.

As you know, actually it was good practice for both physical and mental health. It could keep the body fit while releases mental stress. As well as it allows us to have a not interrupted sleep. However, I did not face any sleeping issues. But the following day was filled with energy. If you encounter any sleeping issues, here I'm suggesting you have a walk or some kind of exercise. After the office work, evening walk could give great relief. Sometimes, the office problems and 'to-do list remembered during that time also. Lol…

My Evening Routine! However, no one joined for my evening walk, exercise, though most of them are doing it with their friends or spouse. A few years back, one of my cousins also lived near my uncle's place. Those days we two went for a walk. We started around 7 p.m. and continued till 8.30 p.m. 

As it was a separate place for fitness lovers, there were many people. Some of them came with their friends while others came with their families. Some people tried to find out love affairs. Among them, most of them were seeking additional partners for their jogging time. We got to know that when my cousin got the attention of such people. However, no one forced relationships, and they just tried. If anyone would like to do so, then it would be an enjoyable jogging time for both as per their view. We used to observe some people who had such an interest. That was our sub hobby. Lol...

When moving back to my own evening walk, I did it most of the weekdays after office hours. However, I could not make it as at a stretch exercise as I wanted to visit a few shops. As you know, I went to have fruit juice and buy movie DVDs. Apart from them the other tasks I had to do, such as buying clothes, shoes, food, and paying bills also done during this time. So, it took about one hour, though it was a fifteen minutes’ walk. Most of the day I visited at least one shop during this journey and very randomly I could finish it within fifteen to twenty minutes.

There was a cemetery in the main route I used. Most of the times I didn't use that side of the road. Though it did not make scary feelings, I did not use that side. As it was an old and large cemetery, there were many stories behind that cemetery. Fear Of Death? No. Right?

There were paper articles and TV programs also. Most of them said that those publishers used the cemetery to earn money via horror stories. However, it filled up with many myths, stories, and secrets. One group interviewed the security guards of the cemetery, and their views and experiences published as a series. One security guard said that they did not feel the taste of foods when they were having meals at the cemetery. Some of them explained their friend's experience. Though I did not know the truth of those stories, I did not want to take a risk. Lol... So, I always followed up with the best practices. My uncle also did not forget to ask the side of the road I used once he got to know about my evening practice.

The other main thing was the people I met during my evening walk time. Actually, it was an additional I experienced. I met different people. Some of them were police officers who had traffic duties on that route. Police On Duty! Some of them were boys who passed me on most of the day. 

So, these two groups offered a friendly smile, and I think that Meetup was a nice thing for both of us. Apart from them, there were a few beggars on that route. One lady was sitting in front of a church, and she used to get the contributions from pedestrians like us. Some days I used to buy some food separately for her without giving money. However, she gave the same smile and thanked us irrespective of the things we gave.

Story Of Old Couple! Apart from these three types, there was an old couple. They were sitting on two chairs in the front side of their house. Those two chairs kept near the main door, and they were looking at the road, vehicles, and people. 

Earlier I thought that they were waiting for their children who went to work. But later on, I could see them any evening or night when I was passing them. As well as I have never seen any other soul except these two. As I saw the same thing over a year, I thought that only that couple lived in that old house. Everything surrounded by them was old like them. Though I tried to smile with them, they did not look at me any day. So, I gave up that idea after looking at them most of the day.

Lifestyle! Sometimes, one chair was empty and the only lady or gent was in the other chair. That empty chair brought many and different feelings to my mind. Most of the times I felt sorry for them. I thought that though we spent luxury/good (or whatever lifestyle) lives at a young age with children and all, finally everyone has to go through a certain time period like this. We may just look outside by doing nothing. We won't have the energy to work while our mind is working on many things. 

So, I think everybody of us should think about that seat. We won't be able to work. But how do you manage your inner feelings and thoughts? If you did not have a good history, then that seat would be a place to let you suffer. The more time you spend on that seat will let you more and more suffering. But if you have good things to rewind, then it would be another joyful time. Unfortunately, I could not see the happiness on their faces. They were worried about someone or something. At least they did not talk to each other. I could say that their appearance and one empty chair taught many lessons and my evening walk was my helper to observe them. 

Apart from that, I would like to ask two questions. How do you feel if that empty chair belongs to your parents who could not get your affection? What will be reminding you most if you are the owner of the other chair?
