He was an inveterate toss pot, and used to drive his Merc home after a long session through the narrow roads and by lanes and when he reached home, he had to tug at a rope, fixed at ground level, to the door lock which would then click open the same and he would totter up to get to his bed late nights. This device was fixed because his wife and family were fed up with his habit of late night binges at the local club.<br /><br />I used to wonder how he could drive, with high spirits, through all those narrow lanes,, of old town Mombasa and yet reach home unscathed and none the worse for wear for a next day's bout of repetition. He, however, could hold his whiskey ( five doubles in a short while) and remain stone sober. But alas, that alcohol tolerance shrunk up his liver and he passed away due to Cirrhosis.Such a good soul ; that he was.!!<br /><br />We are all a sum total of such small memories, aren't we? Some good , some bad.So let's live life by the second and to the brim drink of the cup of joy. Right?raju umamaheswarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107883886526369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-2631462255756989652011-08-30T14:02:47.127+05:302011-08-30T14:02:47.127+05:30Kishore @ 9:04

This was a signal to the driver.<br /><br />Madras buses no longer have them. Perhaps private buses in CBE and other places in TN still have them. <br /><br />See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_pullChaturvasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284780490945841507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-69611306894247492372011-08-30T10:32:38.606+05:302011-08-30T10:32:38.606+05:30A saner puzzle.
