I did not have a car back in 1996 and I badly wanted one. It would be 3 more years before I would get my first car. In one of those moments of wanting one, I wrote this back then.
Do you remember – ?
the days when you struggled to get it..
and the nights when you dreamed about it?
Those roads you walked on.. the taxis you hired..
the cabbies you fought with, and the car-owners you admired?
The distances without those 2 pairs of wheels..
the suns you faced and walked after heavy meals?
do you really remember..?
that occasional rain and their cars splashing water..
your umbrella, the heavy bags and your drenched sweater?
They rode the highways.. warm in their cars..
when the streets at night, were cold below the stars..
oh.. do you still remember all of it..?
the pain, the longing, the desire, for that car..
yes, the one you always saw, but the one that looked so far?
yes I know it too, I really do.. because, I am still without a car!

I hate definitions.. I think a Definition is something that tries to show off real or fictitious complexity of the term that it is trying to define!
If you think experts are expensive, wait until you see what amateurs cost you!
