Being a software engineer in a company earning a lakh is fun but when it comes to the work pressure, I leave it to selling tea in a small shop. Not being over hyped, I believe all my fellow engineers would agree with my words. It got mid night in the office and when I left it was exactly 2pm in the dark night and the only sign of happiness was that the next day was a holiday. When I reached my room, I was all exhausted and slept right away leaving all aside.

When the morning alarm rang, I ignored it very badly to sleep again. My roommate left the room and I was in no mood to get up from the bed. After couple of hours, the hunger put me up and I left the home to have my breakfast. When I returned back, there was no power at home and when it came back, I was feeling sleepy again and all my morning and afternoon got spent in a deep and happy sleep. Skipping afternoon meal did not make any difference as my morning breakfast was ample and in the evening I walked away to tea shop to smoke a cigarette. While smoking, my phone ranged and on the other side, it was my friend invited me to a jazz concert nearby in a mall.

Even I was free and agreed to meet him at the mall exactly by 8PM. Got back to room and had a sound bath to get ready with my white T-shirt and blue jeans. Shutting the door when I went to my bike, to all my bad luck it got punctured. As I was new to the area, I did not know any mechanic shop nearby and an enquiry with neighbor also didn’t helped much. Deciding to cancel the concert opened my mobile to inform my friend about it. As a perfect co-incidence, a notification popped up saying “Do not push off. Get your bike repaired staying at home” from Bro4u App which I had installed to book laundry service a couple of days before.

So, immediately I booked one Bike repair service and started waiting for a call from Bro4u. After 20 minutes, a vendor called and said that he will be arriving in 5 minutes to pick up my bike. Finally when he came, I gave my bike to him instructing to get it repaired and drop back to the place where the concert was live.

With a start-ups like Bro4u, life in a metro has become easier.
