rest. Each wanting to become the ruler of this kingdom. Each of them a
reflection of their character and absolute wisdom.
In between the unfolding of this whole saga, an old gentleman, probably a war
veteran or a freedom fighter or might even be a casual citizen of democratic
India tries to cross the carriage way. No, he knows his rules of traffic good and
he waits all the way up untill the red signal to walk along the zebra crossing
turns green. As he painstakingly moves to cross the 100 feet carriage way,
honks start thundering. Insane people wanting to grab a piece upfront the race
to hell. What is wrong with all these people? Do these individuals have a sense
called common obligation. I guess all are the masters of their fate. As the old
gentleman crossed in horror I was left detached with this crazy breed of
maniacs.
I march slowly, steadily towards the sacred place with the thoughts lost along
the small narrow alleys of the small town where I was born and grown up by my
mother. I wondered then, how manipulative we Indians can be. What kind of
quick learner we all garnered in ourself. I would like to get the stats right before
talking, however, it is evident that India certainly didnt have so many vehicles
back during the 1990s and 1980s. Obviously, the count on no. of drivers would
have also been near to that of the vehicles plying on road! How did so many
people learn to even draw a line of distinction between the road and the
adjacent zooming vehicles within such a short span of time? It is not to do with
the process of learning. It is actually something which is inherent in the blood of
we Indians, a class of civilization so ambitious and self motivated.
Ohh before concluding, I reached office half hour prior to the prescribed
timing!! All because I was getting bugged at home during the weekend!
Certainly it is the routine which has scored the home run in my case!!
