Even a Saint with decades of experience can lose his patience on Indian roads.
This is how we (Indians) behave on roads:
- We are very passionate about honking, we strongly believe that sound waves can make the traffic move.
- Lane driving is a term alien to us. We can cram at least 7 cars side by side in a 4 lane wide road.
- We feel significant increase in percentage-of-manhood by overtaking when it is strictly prohibited.
- Somehow we manage to perceive the RED color as GREEN when it comes to traffic lights.
- We are of the thought that Ambulance are made for amusement and they play some Sci-Fi games with their medical equipments. We always believe in making the game more thrilling by intentionally blocking their way.
- Did I hear that Foot-paths are meant for pedestrians ? really ? It’s ‘Yaara da Tasan’ to drive on foot-path, who cares for rule of the land !!
- We have all the rights to show our skills and do justice to our macho-ism by taking shortest of shortcuts. Rules are meant for fools.
- We can crib if the nearby vehicle is being driven by female, we can make fun of her driving skills because she almost follow the traffic rules and again ‘Rules are meant for fools’.
Whatever it is, “I’m Anna” and I desperately want to do something for my country but unfortunately I’m not getting the chance to do so :(
