My driving lesson experience.

This time I decided to learn driving. I enrolled in a driving school in order to learn how to drive my own car. I had never attempted to drive any vehicle before. On the very first day of the lesson I was very excited about it. I was very nervous when I got into the driver’s seat.

Instructor told me the basic things and on his instruction I started the car. Oh God, car seems to go left, I tried to handle, but failed to do. It was instructor who handled the car. This was my first day of driving.

After 1 week of practice, I was not still able to drive along traffic. Many times I used to forget to change the gear and pressed the accelerator with full strength instead of hitting the brakes. On this instructor used to shout on me, “Mam what are you doing? Despite 7-8 class of driving, you are not able to handle the car”. This made me very upset and I lost my confidence. Problem is that I don’t mind being corrected if I make a mistake but I really can’t stand if somebody shouts on me. I thought I will never be able to drive my car. I decided to leave this driving project here only. In the evening, I told all this innocently to my husband, he burst out laughing and told dear this is challenge for you and moreover I am confident that soon you be able to drive a car. His confidence in me boosted my confidence. My classes got over in 15 days. Now I can drive my car with confidence. But, still learning many things about traffic.

Survey group Speak Asia Online (SAOL) today said it has worked for companies such as Bata, Nestle,Airtel, ICICI and ING Vysya but has not provided commissioned services to them amidst media reports that the company had falsely claimed them as their clients.
"We have interacted and worked with these companies. But we have not provided any commissioned services to them," Speak Asia India's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Manoj Kumar, told reporters here.
SAOL is a company where consumers pay around Rs 11,000 for a membership which will allow them to conduct some surveys online for the firm.
The members also get paid for filling those surveys. It is believed that the Rs 11,000 investment could be recovered within three months.
There were reports that during a trade fair in Goa, SAOL marketing team had claimed that ICICI, ING Vysya, Bata, Airtel and Nestle were its clients.
However, it was later reported in some sections of the media that the companies denied having any business connections with SAOL.
"There has been some miscommunication in the media about our relationship with the companies. Our marketing team had during a trade fair in Goa said that the companies were our clients. There has been some factual errors on our part. I apologise to the companies on behalf of my team. We have only worked with them," he said.
When asked if the company was allegedly violating the regulations of RBI, Kumar said, "the regulations of the RBI are regarding foreign exchange transactions. We have followed all the guidelines in regard to the forex money transfer.
ICICI and ING Vysya are involved in forex remittances for us. We have no banking business with these banks."
On the Goa government conducting an inquiry against the company, he said, SAOL has not received any official communication on it.
"We will provide all the details to the authorities if there is any investigation. We have all the necessary documents. We have not done anything wrong. But if we are found guilty, we are ready to face the consequences," he said.
