Horn...Not Ok....Please !!



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.

  1. 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!

No Spit Day

The most observable day to day activity of the residents of our land is ' Spitting ' . Just make an effort to see people around you......from the one walking in front of you to the one sitting in car with family or the one sitting beside you...............there comes a moment when they turn their head and leave the proof of their action along with the unpleasant sound of ' Aaaaaathoooo '. The common habit of chewing pan, tobacco or just spitting for fun / pleasure/ sore throat ( god knows what reason is it ) makes people spit not only on roads, but also on public property (visit any monument to witness the remnants of this act ) , and sometimes they don't even mind spitting on people ( applicable to the ones travelling by bus, car etc., who see nowhere and directly put their head out of the window..... and....spit...yes.....along with the unpleasant sound of 'Aaaaaaathooooo' ) . The roads/ lifts/ staircases ( common places where we find the area of spit high

A visit to India Gate

Out of Sight ....but not....Out of Mind...!! Wanted to write a blog only once I saw myself changing....and have I?...Yes,I have changed to some extent and will keep on changing until apocalypse :p :p (it was meant on a lighter note, people...dunno whether the world ends in 2012, and don't even want to specualte) With this post, I want to bring into light the common man's perception about the heritage of India. Let's just focus on 'one of the many' such places - THE INDIA GATE - a landmark that commemorates the live's lost fighting the British Empire , along with the 'Amar Jawan Jyoti' which pays homage to the ones lost in the 1971 Ino-Pak war. However on a recent visit, it appeared that it was more of a 'fun spot' and less of a 'rememberance spot'. The purpose for anyone's visit there, especially the residents of Delhi, is to eat (throw here and there) , play in the pond (having bath in the water and how can we forget ...throw

Sense and Nonsense

Amidst the hope of a 'New India' with steps being taken to fight corruption,we are reminded of the other evils that persist predominantly in the nation, with the recent blast near the Delhi High Court. There is a lot of anger within, so it might seem that this post is more of a grievance sharing. But seeing innocent people being hurt makes my heart cry and my mind say "what the F***". When will we be a nation safe to live in. When will we, rather than saying "We are proud to be Indians" will act and stand up to fight against the nation-wide slaughter. When will we stop fighting in the name of religion, when no religion promotes CRIME or killing of innocent people. When will we start living as humans and not as cannibals...eating away the life of others.!!!.....SIGH !! With all this in my mind...when just about to catch some sleep, it felt as if 'Mother Earth' said - "if you don't do something, i sure will" - 'Earthquake in Delhi'
