On Road

Every day when we get in to the road, literally feel like getting back home. Roads are getting busier with so many new brands coming in to the market with a vast variety of vehicles of different sizes and colors. Situation is so bad that most of the time you will be scolding someone or will be getting scolded. No one has the time or temper to allow the other person to pass by. We drive with only one liner agenda – “to reach faster”.

On the other hand we have the cops standing (literally hiding) and checking for license, insurance, RC book, emit ion certificates, mirrors. I have never seen a single cop who will try to educate the caught driver. They will be busy negotiating the fine, saying “if I write the receipt you have to pay 300, else pay just 100 “.

Some of the favorite dialogues what we see when we are road are:

“Hello, L Board is it?”
Guru, all you got is my vehicle to die is it?
Boss, can’t you see the indicator?
When you are caught by a cop : “ Sir, I am on the way to donate blood”
When you are caught driving in the one-way “One-way is it? I dint see the board only, from when is it been made one-way sir? I came last week like this!!! (Admitting that last week also you broke the law.)

Let’s ask ourselves some questions and we might end up finding answers for them:

Have I ever allowed other person to pass by, understanding his urgency / importance?
Did I ever wait till a pedestrian cross the road completely?
How many times I honk unnecessarily during my drive?
Was it really required to go so fast? What did I achieve by reaching 10 mins early ?
How can I save fuel ?
