Oil Strike

Usually, any strike going on our country, we take it very casually, at least I used to do so. This time, public sector oil companies have gone on indefinite strike[ really don't understand what does that mean..life long.. if nobody entertain their voices]. No Joking...
This time around, it has affected all people like anything, with the strike going on for more than 3 days.
Media is very good in creating panic to all people. On Thursday paper, headlines read "most likely petrol bunks will go dry in two days....". This was enough, for people to make beeline before the petrol pumps. All vehicles, some people filling their vehicles as well the cans... If they have filled/got the fuel. They come out triumphant.. :-)
At least I felt so... when standing in a big queue for more than half an hour and filled up car tank. There was a glow, a sign of relief.
I usually, fill up my car weekly once. Coincidentally, that falls on Thursday.
On my way to office, I saw most of petrol pumps closed. I reached office. But no fuel, made me little uncomfortable. So I set out on a mission to fill fuel at the petrol bunk at noon from office.
The nearest petrol bunk, there was a big queue. I ventured to find out a petrol bunk with minimal queue. I wasted fuel on searching petrol bunks, found all of them closed. Then I finally returned to the same petrol bunk, only to find the queue a little more extended. For more than an hour, I waited for my turn to come; and consciously praying God, that the petrol doesn't get over, when my turn comes. As it used to happen, while waiting for a movie ticket, when we reach the counter, we read the tag "House Full".
Fortunately for me, my turn came, and fuel was still there. I proudly filled my car "Full Tank".
Today, when I see the much bigger beeline and closed petrol pumps and the ongoing strike, I am much relaxed.
The strikes should end, and the government should do something, or else to morrow I may have to stand in beeline for essential commodities.
Well, all said, I have also learnt something useful, as the popular saying goes

ದೂರದ್ಧ ಬೆಟ್ಟ ನೋಡಕ್ಕೆ ಚಂಧ್ದ ಹತ್ತಿರ ಇರುವಧೆ ಅಂಧ

Meaning,

Other side of the River always looks green and lush
