Modes of Transportation

The MERAC office in Bahrain was located in a cute 2 storied “residential” villa. On the first day, Sam, the secretary, took me on a guided tour of the office. We started off at the entrance where there was a small car park. One of the parking spaces had a board which said “Reserved for the MD”. In that space was parked an old ramshackle bicycle. My mind started working over-time about the company that I had joined (unlike now, MERAC was hardly known in India those days). Watching my dazed expression, Sam quickly clarified that as the MD (Stuart) was traveling, the newspaper delivery boy had taken the liberty of parking his bicycle there.
