Failing to understand the reason of unnecessary noise pollution emerging in traffic, i am compelled to pen down a practical concern. Does it make sense of blowing the horn when you know that the vehicle in front of you cannot move, because there is another vehicle in front of it and another and another.....
Having experienced the same at the time of traveling during morning peak hours, on one of such days, i literally wanted to get down and go to the uncle blowing the horn incessantly and say "Uncle udd ke jaoge kya". But seeing that every car around me was repeating uncle's actions, i could just end up gazing with anger.
We, Indians, are just too desperate and impatient. If our reason for getting late can be blamed on someone else, we would do the honor, won't we? The soon we realize that the reason for our problems is not anyone else but we ourself, then our lives would become much much better. What's your take on that?
So before blowing the horn and damaging one's eardrums, look around and see if your action makes sense or not? If you change, then all those around you are bound to change as well. This will be gyan for those who don't want to take it, but still ponder over it a little.

Cities like Mumbai, Chandigarh, Jalandar have attempted to go horn free, by observing "no horn day" in the past. But all this ends up as just another drill for the Administration and Traffic authorities. Wonder when a no horn rule will come into force!
