Traffic

                                                   Pooooo piiiiiiiiiiiii peeeeeeeeee

Traffic traffic traffic...... when you decide to step out of the house, the first thought that comes to your mind is, God! Please save me from this hideous traffic. Not that there was no traffic problems in Bangalore, but Delhi is Delhi. The traffic is getting worse day by day. If we start for a place, sometimes its impossible to say how much time would it take to reach the destination. And now days, its not just the traffic but people have become careless towards driving. Well, in the past few days, I have observed and faced quite a few things that I would like to share. According to me, a person who gets a vehicle for himself believes that he/she is all set to go and rock the roads with there F grade driving skills. Oh! hello! Please get a reality check. The roads are not made for amateur drivers. These amateur drivers are the biggest threat on the roads who are responsible for most of the traffic problems. I don't say that a person who is new to driving should not drive, I just stand by the point of mastering your basics so that neither you be a pain on the road nor be the cause for one.

That was about amateur drivers, the other bunch are the overconfident rather reckless ones. They feel as if the road was made for and by them, that they know every bit about it. Few days back, this reckless auto driver was enjoying his gala time in his gala land, this is when he dashed into the bumper of a Honda City, crushed it completely and later banged into the utility pole. His overconfidence and recklessness caused him a lot. Not only he was hurt but his auto was damaged completely from one side, and all this happened because this stupid man was sitting crossed legs and this is why, he could not apply the breaks and to garnish his carelessness, he was busy listening to music with his headphones in his ears. Now tell me, how could he hear the Honda City blowing the horn, how could he apply the breaks when his legs were folded and how could he come out of his wonderland and apply little brains to avoid the accident by being aware. He hit one, crushed his car, then hit the pole, hurt himself and crushed his auto, all because he was overconfident of his driving. This is just one among-st several cases. I should feel bad for his injuries, but then his actions don't let me.

There are times when its an emergency, and we need to reach at places in time, but this reason sometimes is not enough to imperil someone else's life. People suffer loses and face accidents because they try to save someone's life. I have faced one, where we tried to save the life of an animal and got hit by another vehicle. Keep this in mind, once when your on the road your not just you but an Idol Citizen of this country and above all a human being. So please live and let live.
